'As A SYSTEM ARCHITECT, I WANT TO GET THE BEST OUT OF MY PEOPLE'

Marnix is a system architect at Sioux Technologies for 22 years now. His roots are in optics. He started as an optical designer of sensors in general and also added the metrology of the machine eventually. He also has been a project leader for a few years.

Marnix: 'The best part of my job is working with people. The technology of all our machines is in the people. As a system architect, I want to get the best out of my people, in a good atmosphere, in a good environment.'

Pleasant and open organization

'Sioux is a very pleasant and open organization. So, it is very accessible. If I need people from the workshop I just go to the workshop and ask what I want to know. Sometimes I need information from the management, so I go to the director and ask what I need from him.'

'I have been working at Sioux for 22 years, but it doesn’t feel that way at all. For me, that is 15 projects. Each project lasts typically 1,5 years, during which I saw various nice techniques, could learn and worked with very nice people.'
