Marcus has been supporting the #application of our various product lines for over 1.5 years. He is responsible for the installation and maintenance of our measuring devices worldwide. In the XRD area, he is responsible for commissioning and calibrating the X-ray measuring devices.
Marcus, what was your first point of contact with FI?
I became aware of Freiberg Instruments through my former employer, one of the world's leading manufacturers of silicon wafers. By chance, there was an interesting and suitable position for me at the time. Then everything happened very quickly and a short time later I was already part of #TeamFI.
Why did you choose FI?
It was the positive vibe of the team and the impressive expertise in highly complex processes - I wanted to be a part of that. Part of a team that makes a difference.
What are you particularly proud of?
In one of my first projects at FI, we supported the construction of a new production line for a big player in the silicon wafer industry. Our measuring tools are used to determine the geometry of the silicon ingot using X-ray diffraction and precisely align the position of the rod piece with the adhesive module. This complex process prepares the sawing process in which the ingot is cut into wafers. When the production line went into operation in Asia, we received a standing ovation from our customers. A great feeling and great recognition for our work.
The biggest challenge in your job?
With so many projects and tasks, it is sometimes not so easy to keep an eye on the essentials and maneuver through the challenges with a clear head.
What makes Freiberg Instruments special for you?
We solve problems that others struggle with. Together we are shaping the future of measurement technology. At Freiberg Instruments I can develop myself further, absorb knowledge and apply it worldwide.
What is your balance to your job?
I am a passionate guitarist and singer and spend a lot of time with my stoner rock band. We are currently recording our second album and hope to be back on the road in many small clubs soon. However, traveling and spending time with my family in our old VW Syncro bus all over the world is my biggest and best balance.
