Franz Neuberger, Process Engineer Global Manufacturing

“I joined ODU in 2006. After your training and studies, ODU offers very interesting and challenging development opportunities for young people. For example, I was able to gain one year’s experience abroad at our locations in San Diego (USA) and Tijuana (Mexico). What impresses me most is the friendly working atmosphere that you will find at all locations worldwide.”

Stefanie Blob, Test engineer

“I joined the company in 2015 through my bachelor’s thesis in development. I quickly noticed the flexibility that ODU offers its employees. For example, throughout my master’s degree I was able to work as a student trainee in the technical testing laboratory on an hourly basis, leaving me enough time for my studies. Subsequently, I was able to complete my project in the form of my master’s thesis. I now work as a test engineer and have been permanently employed in the laboratory since 2018. I also really like the fact that we work closely with the development team. But for me, the most important aspect is that I enjoy going to work, mainly thanks to the excellent working atmosphere and my friendly colleagues.”

In the process, I’ve always worked with friendly and motivated colleagues who appreciate the working atmosphere and enjoy contributing to ODU’s success.”
