From a summer job to a permanent Wapicean
My career at Wapice started in the summer of 2016, when I started working in Tampere office as a summer trainee. At that time, I had studied for about four years in Tampere University of Technology (TUT) specializing in Automation Technology. For my M.Sc. degree I was majoring in Factory Automation and Industrial Informatics and minoring in Embedded Systems.
I first learned about Wapice in the Yrityspäivät recruitment fair in TUT and through the company web pages. I was fascinated by the company’s versatile expertise on hardware, software and web technologies. Especially the technologies used on embedded systems were what I wanted to work with in the future. I was also interested in IoT-TICKET, which is an Internet of Things platform developed by Wapice.
I applied to Wapice in the beginning of year 2016 with an open application. The application first led to a summer job and eventually through the thesis work to a permanent position.
During my short Wapice history I have mainly worked with the IoT-TICKET product. My assignments have included e.g. software development and testing for different kind of embedded systems used with IoT-Ticket. My thesis work was also strongly related to IoT-TICKET.
Working at Wapice has taught me a lot about embedded systems, communication technologies and software production. I am pleased that I have been able to work with experienced experts, whose know-how I have been able to take advantage of when developing my skills.
