During my dual studies at TESAT, I was able to get to know many different departments and areas and work on a wide variety of projects, giving me a good overview of what I would like to do later. Today, I am the operator of the optical, transportable ground station in Tenerife and am responsible for the operation, planning and execution of measurements. The varied tasks and the intercultural team, which you have to be able to rely on blindly, especially in unpredictable situations, are what fascinate me so much about my work.

After an interview at eye level and due to the exciting tasks presented, I decided to do a mandatory internship at TESAT. I have not regretted it, on the contrary: Due to the good relationship with my colleagues and the possibility to work independently, I decided at short notice to also write my bachelor thesis at TESAT. The support and always having a contact person for questions give me a secure feeling. If you show interest and enjoy your work, you will be very well integrated at TESAT and can experience a lot!

Since I joined in 2005, not only has TESAT continued to develop, but I have also been given the opportunity to develop myself. In the technical area, I was able to gain experience first as a skilled worker and later as a technician, taking advantage of the opportunity to get to know various job profiles in the parent company Airbus. At the moment, TESAT is helping to finance my commercial studies, the theoretical content of which I can immediately put into practice through new tasks. My motivation for continuous development comes from a "speak up culture" that allows me to actively contribute to the development of my company.

First item is that TESAT is making history. We are pioneers with passion and our LCTs are the best prove of it. The second item, based on my experience at TESAT, is the possibility of having access to interdisciplinary teams, like for example the LCT in orbit services Team; It is a young, very dynamic and high qualified team that works as team and cares about its team members. I feel proud of it and of being a TESAT employee.

I enjoy being involved in the development of space devices with a great team. Together we are responsible for the design of these fascinating devices and try to improve our products every day.

As one of the most important companies in the field of space and communications technology, TESAT was the ideal company for me to start my career. I have not regretted my decision; in the 5 years here so far, I have been able to constantly develop myself and learn new things. Working at TESAT definitely remains exciting!

As a quality technician, I particularly value my multi-layered and varied area of responsibility, which consists of directing defective products and supervising the manufacturing areas. Together with the teams, causes of defects are identified and corrective measures are agreed upon, and the effectiveness of their implementation is tested and evaluated. TESAT as a reliable and secure employer allows me to combine family and career very well with flexible working hours. I also appreciate the loyalty of my supervisor and the good working atmosphere among my colleagues. With my daily work, I have the opportunity to make global communication a little bit better and to connect people.

At the annual company run of all companies in the Stuttgart economic region, we as TESAT show that we are not only leaders in the space industry. With our running group "Team Spacerunner", we almost always win a podium place, just like in our daily project business, and we stick firmly together even after working hours. That's what makes TESAT so valuable to me as an employer.

Laser Communication in Space is F1 - formula one - in the race of Satellite Communication worldwide. TESAT did it! To be a member of these team spirit is a real big thing. I will never forget the historical moment, when the first link between two Satellites was set over 45.000 kilometer.

What I particularly appreciate about TESAT as an employer is the passion and spirit for space travel that is lived by all employees, the family-friendliness with its own daycare group and a wide range of development opportunities, so that all doors are open to you at TESAT. 

I came to TESAT because of the promising laser communication technology, having previously worked as a project manager in a similar field. I enjoy working in such an exciting environment every day, also because of my highly motivated colleagues and absolute experts, from whom the "laser" spark of enthusiasm always comes back to me.

Exciting and interesting space projects, international working environment, innovative company, friendly working atmosphere - all this makes TESAT a top employer.
