Specialist Career

With the specialist career, we offer high-performing and ambitious employees an alternative development path to the classic management career. This career path is particularly attractive for people who want to pursue a career but do not want to take on management or leadership responsibilities.

Two people present the results of their work to their team.

Specialist career instead of management career

Our specialist careerists act as the first qualified point of contact for all employees and managers in their respective specialist area. However, they not only represent their specialist area internally, but also externally as recognised experts, for example through relevant presentations or publications.

With an eye on the future, our experts also identify innovative future topics and customer solutions and actively drive these forward.

Vasilios Danos

Specialist for Artificial Intelligence

What did your path to becoming a technical expert look like?

During my early days at TÜVIT, I focussed on the security of embedded systems and gained valuable experience in various areas. Over time, I developed a growing interest in applications with artificial intelligence and asked myself how such systems could be made testable. This gave rise to a new branch of services - and the opportunity to pursue a professional career.

What did your path to becoming a technical expert look like?

In my early days at TÜVIT, I was initially involved in a large number of national and international projects as a technical data protection auditor and expert. Due to the increasingly close links in the projects on the subject of management systems and the daily work in our interdisciplinary projects, the opportunity arose to further advance this area as a technical expert.

Dr. Dietmar Rosenthal

Specialist for source code analysis

What was your path to becoming a technical expert?

I joined TÜVIT in 2016 as an experienced full-stack developer. Immediately before that, I worked scientifically in the field of imaging techniques, medical technology and the rehabilitation of neurological movement disorders. As a typical developer, I read a lot of source code from the very first minute at TÜVIT and looked for vulnerabilities in cryptographic mechanisms.
