Great Demand for our Graduates

Nowadays, almost all technical systems and devices are mechatronic systems. The high demands in the development of such systems mean an increasing need for engineers with interdisciplinary university education, as offered by mechatronics.

Graduates of our institute are therefore in great demand on the labour market. Their broad knowledge in areas such as mechanics, measurement technology or control engineering opens up attractive career opportunities in research, product and system development, technology and innovation management or project management.

Our graduates are also successfully employed in a wide range of industries, such as the automotive industry, biotechnology, environmental and medical technology or aerospace technology.

"As a project assistant at the Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics, I got an excellent insight into the energy sector and the connection to modern control engineering during my dissertation and as a post-doc, which I was already very enthusiastic about back then.

Through learned structured, innovative and analytical thinking, I am always interested in equipping my power plants with more automation and modern control technology to make them even more efficient and environmentally friendly. That's why I acquired SPOT, a robotic dog from Boston Dynamics, in 2021 as part of a research project. This means that I can now also anchor competences in the field of industrial robotics in my generation plants.

The excellent technical and personal training and support at TU Wien has given me the "necessary tools" to be successful and sustainable in my current management position as head of the Simmering and Donaustadt power plants. I am very grateful to have used the opportunities and competences of the institute to now be able to manage the most important electricity and district heating hub of the city of Vienna, to develop it further and to lead it into the energy future".
