Andreas Is the Newest Addition to GPower

by with No Comment News

Andreas Boes Jakobsen just started an internship program in our development team. Andreas is an educated physicist from Aarhus University, and he is currently teaching physics at Aarhus Statsgymnasium.

Why GPower?

“I wanted to have my internship program at GPower because I have a great interest for both software and hardware. During my studies, I have also used LabVIEW myself in terms of managing and collecting data from measuring instruments and I can gain a lot more insight into that by being a part of GPower’s development team.” – Andreas Boes Jakobsen

An Exhaustive Know of LabVIEW

With a background in physics, Andreas already has an exhaustive knowledge of the programming language LabVIEW from the course “Management and Data Collection” he had in his 6th semester. Andreas will build on this knowledge during his internship where he also will pass a CLAD certification (Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer).

“At GPower, we look forward to see what Andreas can contribute with when it comes to physics. Besides computer software, much of our work involves measuring and creating physical signals. Here, we believe that Andreas’ background as a physicist can be extremely valuable. That said, we also look forward to have someone with a different technical background joining us experienced engineers”. – Steen Secher Schmidt, founder and CTO, GPower.

New Strategy Calls for New Types of Developers

In line with our new strategy, we have started looking broader for candidates for our development team. Previously, we have been looking specifically for engineers with experience in LabVIEW programming, but now our focus has changed. Now, we are also looking for engineers with experience in other programming languages, physicists, mathematicians and the like. For instance, from March 1, 2018, we have employed another physicist for our development team.

New Facilities Are the Foundation of GPower’s Further Growth

By relocating ourselves a bit up Samsøvej in Hinnerup, Denmark, GPower has found the perfect surroundings to suit our current growth and the future ambitions of expansion while securing the best possible working-environment for present and future employees.

Although we have not moved that great of a distance it makes a world of difference. In the beginning of December we relocated from Samsøvej 21 to Samsøvej 31 because we found the most ideal surroundings for our growth and the direction we are moving in as a company. With more space and a free and professional environment, the future of GPower takes an exciting step forward.

As founder and CTO, Steen Secher Schmidt, describes it: “This is the first station in the next step of the journey GPower has started. These new facilities will become the foundation of our further growth.”

GPower is in the process of growth and we have our sights set on the global markets with our tailored and customized solutions in terms of instruments, simulation, automation and testing. Therefore, it is essential to have the right surroundings and facilities to ensure that we fulfill our ambitions.

”We are currently rethinking our approach to the market via a new business-strategy: At GPower, we provide affordable, high-quality instruments for automation, simulation, and test. In line with this strategy, it is beneficial for us – and indeed our clients – that our developers now will work more in-house which these new facilities make possible. On a side note, it does not hurt that the facilities are fantastic which motivates and nurtures the knowledge-sharing that we aim to achieve,” CEO, Martin Boje, says.

With our developers working more in-house, the possibility for this experience and knowledge-sharing regarding our approach to the projects we work on, is greatly increased. Additionally, it is in direct correlation with our ambition to develop an “in-house schooling” for our new developers where they can be trained in the field of expertise – especially regarding LabVIEW and TestStand – that GPower has built over the last 20 years.

A Sense of Home Regardless of Growth

This move means more space for both our hardworking minds and our hardware. The storage capacity is greatly increased and since we are working on adding even more skill-full and qualified staff, it is key that we have the right facilities and the right atmosphere.

”We have chosen this new location because it contains a warmth perfectly aligned with our company’s atmosphere of being a family. We want to maintain this atmosphere no matter how much our staff will increase. As a bonus, I have a clear view to a vacant office across the hall if that should become necessary,” says Martin Boje.
