Since March 2025, Nick Schenker has been complementing the Software Engineering Team of Robotec Solutions. Learn more about the new project manager and software engineer in the following short interview.
How was your start with us?
It was not an ordinary start, as I still had school in the morning. But I was warmly welcomed and was able to familiarize myself with the systems and processes right away. I especially appreciated that everything was perfectly prepared, whether it was the PC or tools. Our building, with its bright rooms and calm atmosphere, also contributes to a pleasant working environment.
What did you do before?
I worked for six years as an automation technician and industrial electrician at Migros Industry. In one of their plants, I ensured electrical maintenance, including revisions and upgrades of production. This already gave me valuable insights into automation. Originally, I trained as an automation technician EFZ, and I am currently studying part-time to become a system technician.
How did you come across Robotec Solutions?
I had long felt the desire to delve deeper into robotics, but found few suitable companies. Due to my further education, I was also interested in programming. I eventually came across the open position at Robotec Solutions through a job portal. I applied, and now I'm here. :-)
What are you particularly looking forward to?
Through my further education as a system technician, I learned a lot about the interconnections between systems: about robot controls as well as higher-level controls (PLC) and how the data flows between them work. Now I'm excited to apply what I've learned and see how a system is developed and built in practice.
Finally: What do you do in your free time?
Currently, I invest a lot of time in school. But in general, I look forward to doing more sports again soon: In winter, I enjoy snowboarding, in summer I play a lot of tennis and badminton. And I recently started mountain biking, including downhill.
Nick, it's great to have you with us! We are very much looking forward to working with you!
