WORK MATCH – STRAMAGROUP X DANIEL

Software Programmer in the Field of Automation Technology

 

Personal insights into the daily work and role behind our Software Programmer in Automation Technology.

Since when have you been part of STRAMAGROUP?

“My journey at STRAMAGROUP began back in 2008 with an apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician. After that, I completed my technical college entrance qualification and then returned for a dual study program in Electrical and Information Engineering. During my studies, I was already able to gain experience in various departments and also worked in software programming. Since 2017, I have been working as a software programmer. In addition, I completed a part-time MBA in General Management..”

 

What does your typical working day look like?

“There is actually no such thing as a typical working day for me every day looks a little different. Depending on the project phase, different tasks are in focus. At the beginning of a project, there is a lot of customer communication, concept development, and coordination with various departments. In later phases, the focus shifts to programming, software preparation, and commissioning of the systems. This variety is exactly what makes my work so diverse and exciting.”

What makes your job especially exciting?

“What I find particularly exciting is that no system is ever the same. Since we develop custom special - purpose machines, every project comes with new challenges. From the initial idea to software development and final commissioning at the customer’s site, I often accompany projects over a long period of time. In doing so, I work closely with different departments and can directly see how an idea turns into a fully functioning system.”

Is there a project that stands out in your memory?

“One project that particularly stands out is a system for producing high - pressure injection valves (HDEV6 from Bosch), which has accompanied me for many years. Today, these systems are installed at various locations worldwide - including Germany, Turkey, China, and the USA. I am still regularly involved in this project. It was a very demanding project at the time, but precisely for that reason, it remains a very positive memory.”

A sentence you often hear as a software programmer at our company:
“Can’t this just be adjusted in the software?”

Even though the solution is not always purely a software matter, this question has become a fixed part of our daily work.

Why is STRAMAGROUP your perfect match?

“I enjoy my work because it is incredibly diverse - no two days are the same. I also really appreciate working with my colleagues. We have a strong team and support each other. Another advantage: I live only a few minutes away and could theoretically even ride my bike to work. The combination of exciting projects, great colleagues, and short distances makes STRAMAGROUP the perfect match for me.”
