Testimonials from our teams
Which roles need to be filled at Maurer Electronics, the subsidiary of Bundesdruckerei GmbH, in Munich and Cham?
We are a diverse team of software developers, electrical designers, mechanical designers, mechanics and laser specialists, and we always welcome support from new colleagues in various departments. At our Munich location, we focus on laser technologies, so we mainly look for hardware and software specialists. The Cham location primarily develops automation solutions and is currently looking for fresh faces with expertise in hardware, software and verification.
What can applicants expect at Maurer?

Therefore, future colleagues should have a special interest in learning about new technologies and developing cutting-edge software and hardware solutions in a working environment defined by teamwork between locations.
What makes working at Maurer Electronics so special for you?
As the development company of Bundesdruckerei GmbH, Maurer Electronics develops innovative products and technologies to produce sovereign documents that are unparalleled worldwide. Our working atmosphere is defined by respectful treatment and a familial feel. We work very well as a team across different generations and subject areas. As an interdisciplinary team, we pursue the same goals and work together to develop new, innovative solutions for the future. Team spirit is important at Maurer Electronics.
What projects/tasks do you and your colleagues work on in Munich and Cham?
Bundesdruckerei GmbH produces forgery-proof sovereign documents such as German ID cards, for which no standard production machines exist. As a development company, we assist our colleagues at the Bundesdruckerei production site in Berlin by developing innovative, highly automated machines in-house, as well as ensuring their installation and seamless operation.
What is special about your work?
I work on unique products and projects. Laypeople have no idea of how passport and ID cards are produced, especially the developments and expertise that goes into them. This makes the technical process especially exciting. I also appreciate the fact that, as a software developer, I don’t spend the whole day on my computer and get to perform many practical tasks on the machines.
What challenges do you face in your work?
To begin with, working in an official environment definitely takes some getting used to. However, with the support of my colleagues, I overcame this challenge quickly. In my day-to-day work, the challenges mostly arise from the machines themselves as small problems can pop up again and again which have to be solved to keep production running seamlessly. This makes my job highly varied and allows me to acquire new expert knowledge day after day.
Why did you choose Maurer Electronics?
Even as a student, I was fascinated by the Bundesdruckerei Group and its subsidiaries, because they manufacture products that are carried in the pocket of every German citizen. In my work at Maurer Electronics, I’ve had the chance to further optimise and simplify the production of ID cards in recent years, and this is something I’m very proud of.
What are you particularly motivated by in your work at Maurer?
My job is highly varied. I tackle software and hardware issues, as well as fundamental and conceptual topics. This combination is highly motivating for me, because it means I’m on the go in the in-house workshop and not just stuck at my desk all day. I also like the fact that the product I’m working on is aimed at a huge “clientele”, because ID cards are relevant for every citizen and everyone is familiar with them.
What technologies does Maurer work with?
Generally speaking, we’re very open-minded at Maurer and always try to master and implement new technologies. In my case, classic programming languages such as Python and C++ are used a lot. If you’re more heavily involved with hardware, it also helps to be familiar with the basic functionality of chips. The engineering staff uses established CAD programs such as Autodesk Inventor. We also use database programs to manage our data and documents.
What benefits does Maurer offer?
Thanks to the numerous training programmes and workshops, my colleagues and I always have the chance to master new technologies and work on our soft skills. I also serve as a first-aider and recently completed another first-aid course. On top of all that, the company also takes great care to accommodate my needs as a young mother. I work 35 hours a week and my managers do everything they can to support me. Something else that really helps me is that I can work remotely from home and avoid my long commute.
What have you learned so far in your role at Maurer?
I have definitely learned how to work in a unique and complex official environment. I’ve also been able to greatly improve my professional skills and familiarise myself with new technologies, for example in the areas of camera technology and image processing. By working closely with my colleagues, I constantly gain new insights, so I’m always learning new things.
