Experiences from our teams
Which positions are you looking to fill at Maurer Electronics, Bundesdruckerei’s subsidiary in Hanover?
We are looking for software developers, system architects and, above all, new colleagues who enjoy working together to advance interesting and technically exciting projects. We are especially looking for new recruits who are familiar with Linux Security, JavaScript, web services and databases.
What do you recommend to applicants?
We welcome applicants who are enthusiastic about programming and interested in verification topics. A basic understanding of cryptography and artificial intelligence is also a real plus in the respective areas. Furthermore, applicants should be open to working with security standards and specifications. We ensure a smooth introduction for new employees who will be accompanied by experienced colleagues who take time to help their new colleagues get started.
What makes working at Maurer Electronics special to you?
Working on products that are used by end customers and that convince me. One of the reasons for this is the implementation of the high security requirements at our company. We also maintain an open communication culture where we all support each other in every way possible, embracing the concept of working in teams. I simply feel very comfortable in my daily work and I try to make this possible for my colleagues too.
What projects/tasks are you and your colleagues currently working on in Hanover?
We develop software and hardware solutions at our Hanover site, mainly for verification. My work, for instance, focuses on devices for citizens' registration offices that are used to read and edit document data. Other teams are working on systems that enable secure border controls. All the eGates installed at airports in Germany, for instance, are operated by a background system that we developed here in Hanover. All of our products are primarily designed to protect the identity of each and every citizen.
What challenges do you face in your work?
Our devices and systems must be trusted and it must be possible to smoothly integrate them into a distributed system landscape. Since we operate in a high-security environment, we must constantly ensure that our products remain state-of-the-art.
Can you tell us what makes your work special?
As I already mentioned, we at Maurer operate in a very special environment where the topic of ‘secure documents’ meets IT-specific security principles. This unique combination is always exciting.
Why did you choose Maurer Electronics?
I was particularly interested in working on devices where data security is an essential aspect. At the beginning of my work, this environment was of course challenging, but the support from my colleagues and line managers has been outstanding.
What do you find particularly motivating about your work at Maurer?
I am motivated by the fact that the products we develop are used in public life. I have already seen some devices in the real world with software that I helped to develop and it made me both proud and happy.
Which technologies are used at Maurer?
At the moment I am programming client-server applications with Groovy and Spring Framework. Like so many of my colleagues, I too use Java. Other departments that work more with hardware use C++. The range of technologies is overall very large and diverse.
What benefits does Maurer offer?
The site in Hanover offers many advantages. From height-adjustable desks to state-of-the-art IT equipment and the green surrounding our location. More and more colleagues are also getting a ‘bike for work’ subsidized by Maurer. In addition, comprehensive benefits, such as the family service, also make working here very attractive. Maurer Hanover is a family-friendly employer. I also received excellent support in my transition to part-time work.
What have you learned so far while working at Maurer?
Since the technologies in our field are always evolving, I never stop learning. Our managers often approach us actively and encourage us to learn new technologies and extend our knowledge. The support here is really good. I find it exciting to see what possibilities we have in development today. I can also learn a lot from colleagues who are very well versed in other areas.
How does collaboration at Maurer work?
The exchange among colleagues is very effective. Our work requires that we coordinate our activities with each other – which would be impossible without regularly exchanging information in an open manner. We are all on a first name basis and we do not hesitate to express our opinions and concerns in order to find the best solution together.
Why did you choose Maurer?
I began working here as a trainee. When Bundesdruckerei expressed its interest in setting up a new site in Hanover to develop hardware here, that appealed to me. I had never had anything to do with sovereign documents before that and this was and still is a very exciting opportunity for me.
What do you particularly enjoy doing at Maurer?
We really have a strong team spirit here. The same goes for the working atmosphere and contact with each other. This is certainly also due to the fact that we have known each other for many years. We meet privately, also with colleagues from other teams, mostly for our football round on Wednesday.
How do you work together with your colleagues?
We try to keep work as agile as possible, involving colleagues in such a way that they perform well in their special field and share their knowledge with the team. These innovative forms of collaboration help us to make our products as secure as possible.
