📗 The Article that changed my life 🎆 When we look back on our careers, most of us have had life changing events somewhere in our lives. I mean single events that changed the course of careers: a call from a head hunter, a person you met, a new boss, something. 👉 In my case, it was an article in Blech Rohre & Profile. In 1994, I worked at Polynorm Automotive in Bunschoten, Netherlands (currently Voestalpine Automotive Components). It was my first real job straight out of school. I had been with the company three years, and I worked as Process Development Engineer on new manufacturing processes: Tailored (welded) blanks, deep drawing simulation and aluminium forming. I loved what I did, and I learned a lot, but I knew that I wanted more. During my studies, I had become fascinated by Automotive Car Body Manufacturing. I visited the assembly lines of Renault in Cléon, and I was hooked immediately by the hundreds of robots in synchronisation spot welding the car bodies. At one point, I had a job interview at Renault Automation in Toulouse. I could start working as a technical designer of machining centres, and after 15 years working in design, I could eventually become a Project Manager. Project Management was my goal. Already during my studies Mechanical Engineering in Delft University in the Netherlands, I dreamt about leading a team of specialists in designing, manufacturing planning, quality assurance and cost engineering to create and build new innovations. Project Management was what I wanted. One morning in Bunschoten in 1994, the May issue of Blech Rohre and Profile landed on my desk. One article immediately got my attention. Alcoa Automotive Structures had built a plant in Soest, Germany and they had an office in Munich. In the article were: Audi Space Frame Technology - a new car body concept using extrusions and cast nodes, new casting alloys and a vacuum die casting process, a new extrusion alloys creating crushworthy profiles. I knew in a split second, I wanted to be part of that. I called the Munich office, went for a job interview and a few months later, I started my a new job in the Engineering office of Alcoa Automotive Structures in Esslingen. The rest is history. After almost 30 years, I finally found the article, thanks to Mrs. Ulla Schiel from Meisenbach GmbH.

Let's make some noise for our engineers! Tag a fellow engineer or friend in the engineering world to celebrate their achievements and hard work. 👋 #happyengineersweek #worldengineeringday #engineers #mechanicalengineering #STEM #celebrateengineering #amesolutions1992 

#AutomotiveEngineering #EngineeringUnsungHeroes #EngineeringComplexity The engineering world is full of amazing people who often go unrecognised, yet have a huge impact on our everyday lives. Automotive engineering is one of the most complex and detailed disciplines of engineering, and those that work in this field are often the unsung heroes of engineering. Behind the scenes, automotive engineers are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and performance of the vehicles we drive every day. From the engines and fuel injection systems to the braking systems and transmission, they are responsible for creating the complex systems that make our vehicles work. They also have to constantly adapt to new technology, regulations, and materials, while staying on top of the latest industry trends. This demands a deep understanding of engineering principles and the ability to think critically when solving problems. In short, automotive engineers are the unsung heroes of the engineering world, and their work is not to be underestimated. They are the ones that make our vehicles safe, reliable, and efficient. So the next time you get behind the wheel, spare a thought for the automotive engineers who helped make it all possible. #Automotive #Recruitment #Engineering #Emotivtechnicalrecruitment

Have you ever felt like you are going in circles in your interactions with your team or with an individual? It's a common feeling when 2 stakeholders are out of sync. Being a Mechanical engineer by training, I would compare this with two wheels on an automobile axle, rotating at different speeds. Such flexibility (differential speeds on an axle) is necessary to change directions or navigate an uneven (difficult) terrain by adjusting the turning radius. This is vital for maneuvering through tricky paths but can become a hindrance on a straight, stable course. Unless the two wheels are rotating at same speed, the vehicle would not be able to move fast towards desired destination. Similarly, in different spheres of life where a couple of stakeholders are involved, diverse working styles and perspectives are invaluable for innovative problem-solving and navigating complex challenges. However, when alignment on common goals and methods is lacking, the same diversity can lead to inefficiency and a sense of going in circles. More is the difference between the speed of two wheels, more frustrating the ride becomes. In my experience, it is important to set guard rails and interventions to avoid such undesired situation. An explicit agreement on destination and path to be taken to the destination is key to align all efforts in right direction. But mere agreement is not sufficient, we need an effective steering mechanism, that can detect such misalignment and take corrective action by adjusting the rotation of both wheels in optimum way to move at desired speed in desired direction. Have you ever felt like going in circles? How did you navigate it? Share your stories!

Really interesting read for any engineers looking to make an impact to the industry! Jobs in engineering are in-demand, so learning new engineering skills can give you great back-up options! Most engineering jobs are well-paying along with intellectually rewarding work, which means that engineers often have high job satisfaction.
