Kollmorgen is a key player in the Industry 4.0 revolution with solutions for robotics and automated guided vehicles with 2,000 people employed worldwide. Our infrastructure, intellectual knowledge, passion and experience are testament to our pursuit of motion excellence. And because of our heritage of customization, we see opportunities, not obstacles.
Why Work for Us?
More than five decades ago, Kollmorgen developed the direct drive technology that enables some of today’s most remarkably innovative machines.
We helped engineers build the first self-contained artificial heart. Our end-to-end onsite engineering resulted in China’s first air-jet loom for manufacturing, and we’ve been a pioneer in hybrid motor technology for transportation for two decades.
We work together to win together.
Meet our People
I’m fascinated by psychology, and specifically how different people perceive reality differently. From an early age, I was also passionate about drawing and composition. So UX Design as a profession became the natural path for me to follow.
Designing the user experience for AGV and Mobile Robot applications is challenging and exiting. These are highly complex products, and the aim is to make the interface as easy to understand and use as possible. A lot of my work consists of interpreting our end-users’ perception, experimenting with new UX-prototypes, gathering behavioral input, and iterating to further improve and simplify our products. I’m the bridge between humans and technology, with the vision of making robots our best friends.
What I really value with Kollmorgen, is the openness and creativity. From the very beginning you’re heavily involved and responsible for the output of the final product. This industry is also really booming, which makes it even more exciting.

As a teenager my French teacher asked me to write a letter to “my-future-self”. Years later, after a couple of years doing non-tech jobs, I found this letter. I didn’t remember that I had written, “Engineer” as my future occupation but, in hindsight, the fact that I’ve memorized the number of Pi to 400 decimals probably says a lot!
My main responsibility is to understand our client’s needs and prioritize the implementation of different stages and projects. It’s both technical and creative at the same time. You have to think beyond the current technology and try to foresee the future. To be on this journey with likeminded and supportive people is really great!

What I enjoy most about my work is the constant need to be coherent with the marketplace. The business is booming and my role of finding opportunities and then addressing them with insights is really interesting and rewarding. My main work is to analyze and connect the dots. To segment and position a strong portfolio of products to the future market.
One thing that motivates me in this global environment is all the great people you meet. Not only colleagues, but stakeholders from all over the world.
