Development engineer at MÜLLER TEXTIL Group
"Already during my studies for a Bachelor's degree in Textile Technologies, I was particularly enthusiastic about the construction of textile surfaces such as woven fabrics. During my Master's degree, I intensified my knowledge in the field of warp knitting and then made an application to the Müller Textil Group, the world's leading producer of spacer fabrics. Since 2018, I have been working there as a development engineer on a wide variety of projects, where I am primarily involved in the design of spacer fabrics and support the entire product development process from the first yarn order to series production. In close cooperation with the Sales, Machine Technology and Quality departments, innovative and customer-specific products are developed at the Wiehl development site, which are then mass-produced at one of our global production sites in line with customer requirements. Due to the complexity of these technical textiles, this is a challenging, exciting and varied job."
Virtualization 3D Pattern Designer at Hugo Boss Ticino SA - When I started my studies in Clothing Technology, I quickly became interested in new technologies in the clothing industry, which is why I decided to switch to the Hochschule Niederrhein for my Master's degree. The Master's in Textile Products offers a diverse range of modules, which is supported by the experience of the professors and university teachers / lecturers who are in direct contact with the industry. Students are proactively placed in industry and business. This enabled me to complete my master's thesis in conjunction with the advanced course in 3D visualization at Hugo Boss and I have been working as a Virtualization 3D Pattern Designer in Knitwear for Womenswear & Menswear since 2018.

The unique selling point of the studies at the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology is definitely the strong practical orientation. Even in the basic studies, you have the opportunity to implement your own designs in the laboratories and thus learn to better understand the entire textile chain. In my current job, it is not only the specific specialist knowledge that helps me, but also the ability acquired during my studies to deal with different topics simultaneously and to work together in interdisciplinary teams. I can recommend prospective students to get a taste of the various professions in the textile industry through internships before or at the beginning of their studies - there are so many different directions!
