DB Systemtechnik - Strong Technology with a Strong Team!
The satisfaction of our employees is important to us. Here’s what they say about working at DB Systemtechnik:
Dr. Dorothée Stiebel | Munich | Head of Acoustic and Vibration Technology Competence
"Looking for a practical task, I came across DB Systemtechnik with its wide range of tasks, excellent working conditions, and international projects. Through my technical work and leading various projects, I had a strong development and am now head of the Acoustic and Vibration department. In addition to supporting the implementation of upcoming planning projects, conducting measurements, and providing consulting, my team and I also work on innovation and development projects. What I particularly enjoy about the job is the clear purpose of our work: The employees at DB ST can make a difference and contribute positively to environmental and climate protection."
Steffen Kuhn | Brandenburg-Kirchmöser | Head of System Planning and Process Design
"Although I didn’t know DB Systemtechnik before joining, I have been with the company for ten years now. During this time, I’ve progressed from a specialist in underfloor wheelset lathes to senior consultant and team leader. I am still absolutely impressed by the deep technical knowledge of my colleagues and the appreciation we receive from our customers because of that expertise. My team and I work on a wide variety of projects, ranging from modifications to existing systems to new construction projects or the design of new plants, such as an innovative concrete sleeper refurbishment plant or a robot system for removing paint from wheelsets using high-pressure water."
Neele Hartmann | Minden | Project Manager for Testing
"Working at DB Systemtechnik is exciting because it sits at the intersection of innovation and technology. The diversity of projects means that new tasks and challenges await my colleagues and me every day, which we solve through collaboration and utilizing various experience. I particularly appreciate the knowledge exchange during discussions, the mutual support, and the contact with international clients! As a newcomer to the railway industry, I have already gained a lot of knowledge about railway technology through suitable training and helpful colleagues, which continues to expand with each workday."
Martin Olschewski | Frankfurt am Main | Senior Digital Consultant
"Since I was interested in tackling digitalization challenges and, after many years in the automotive industry, wanted to explore the rail system field, I decided to join DB Systemtechnik. Currently, I work in a highly qualified and motivated environment on exciting digitalization projects within the railway sector. What I particularly appreciate about my work is that the numerous ongoing digitalization initiatives provide me with many development opportunities, and as an employee of DB ST, I often receive trust from the very beginning of a project. I think that speaks volumes about the work environment at DB ST!"
