Electronics Engineers are at home in the MEM industries. The mechanical, electrical and metal industry is versatile and globally orientated. A 4-year apprenticeship as an Electronics Engineer opens up many job opportunities at home and abroad. Electronics Engineers are also sought-after professionals in the chemical industry, building automation and in highly automated production plants.
My name is Andy Zehnder and I was born in Einsiedeln in 1977. Even as a small boy, I was a «wonder nose» and took many things apart to find out how they worked.
I started my career back then at Landis&Gyr with an apprenticeship as an Electronics Engineer. After subsequently studying to become an Electronics Engineer at the HSR, I worked in various positions in development and ended up back at STEINEL Solutions in 2016. My area of responsibility is in the field of hardware and software development for OEM products.
Since 2018, I have been enthusiastically responsible for training our Electronics Engineers. I really enjoy working with the apprentices and passing on the basics, knowledge and my experience in connection with exciting projects.
I like to spend my free time outdoors, hiking in summer and telemark skiing in winter. However, I don't want to miss out on technology and craftsmanship in my free time either. I am involved in various projects such as the extension of my camping bus or the home automation system I developed myself.
