Career Prospects

Your areas of responsibility will include the design, development, and implementation of technologies and processes within Industry 4.0: You will work in a goal- and future-oriented manner as a specialist in the digital transformation of traditional sectors such as

• Manufacturing and production
• Plant engineering
• Production logistics
• Simulation
• Measurement, control, and regulation technology

In doing so, you will combine traditional fields such as mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering / electronics, and computer engineering with cutting-edge expertise in human-machine interaction and industrial security.

Occupational Fields

• Digitalisation manager
• IT application specialist
• Process manager / process engineer
• Project manager
• Demand manager
• Production manager / operations manager
• Digital transformation expert
• Automation IT expert
• Manufacturing informatics specialist
• Innovation manager
• Shopfloor IT specialist
• etc.

By focusing on independent work in various team settings during your training, graduates will also work primarily in technical project management and process management (analysis, evaluation, development, and optimisation) in the field of industrial production.

Through the targeted promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative thinking, you will help define new value chains, business models, and work-time models in the context of Industry 4.0 and implement the necessary technologies. Traditional career paths such as production engineer, production manager, or mechatronics technician are thus expanded to include Industry 4.0 expertise.
