The fact that the technology is very complex is also what makes it so fascinating, says Melanie Kleinpötzl: “On the one hand, the rail network and trains have to be very safe, on the other hand, they have to be easy to use for thousands of people every day,” says the native of Andorf, who is only 34 years old is part of the management team at Frauscher Sensortechnik based in St. Marienkirchen near Schärding. The company is a supplier to large railway industry groups.
Kleinpötzl studied innovation and product management and new business development at the LIMAK at the Wels campus of the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences. She began working at Frauscher in 2011, and since 2021 she has been the youngest member of the company’s “Global Steering Committee”, which employs around 500 people worldwide.
She enjoys working in the international team, says Kleinpötzl: “It’s varied, I learn something new every day.” What fascinates her most about her job is the constant innovation: “New technologies make it possible to find better and better solutions for different problems.”
Tech Day
No more virtual. This year the “Dream Job Technology” will again take place in person. From Monday, February 27th to March 1st, AHS pupils in the sixth and seventh grades at the Wels and Hagenberg campuses of the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences can once again immerse themselves in the world of technical professions and receive detailed information on training and studies at the University of Applied Sciences and at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz.
