What do you like in working as a Systems & Applications Engineer?
Without hesitation, I would say versatility. The scope of technical skills needed to develop an IoT sensor is wide. This role allows me to work on various activities, from product definition, device testing, customer facing, and participating in events. Each day is new, there is no routine.
What convinced you to apply for a job at TE?
TE Connectivity is a huge company focused on high quality products which offers very attractive challenges based on new technologies. As a real plus, I really like to work in an international atmosphere, mixing cultures, and ideas from everywhere in the world. Besides that, I have a wonderful local team in Toulouse: the team spirit is fantastic, and we are growing everyday hiring new teammate!
What are your challenges in your work at TE?
Customer satisfaction is fundamental, therefore, my challenge is to well-understand our product portfolio and performances in order to offer the most suitable device to our customers. On the personal side, I am very excited working on industrial sensors which are currently developed to answer to a real need of reducing machine breakdown thanks to predictive analysis. Time to market is also important to answer to customer demand in the shortest term. Getting experience and understanding the best ways to satisfy customers make me enjoy my work each day.

Keys are passion, curiosity, and versatility!
Regarding the sanitary crisis, what is your point of view on the measures taken by TE Connectivity?
The sanitary crisis was not an issue for my work. Indeed, I was able to work in the lab to craft pieces when needed. Combining remote working with in-person working was a great decision that allows me to be more focused on my job at home and to work as a team at the office. Hybrid work is prefect for me.
What piece of advice would you give to a young engineer?
My advice would be to join us as quickly as possible! The working environment and the cultural mix make this place truly interesting. There are several paths to grow through TE. Moreover, Toulouse’s site offers numerous possibilities and a unique working experience. Welcome to discover our world!
