Discover what makes FEIG special.

Make an impact

When you work at FEIG, you experience every day what it’s like to advance technology – and yourself. Because our employees have the freedom, the incentives, and the scope to do both.
Together, the people at FEIG blaze a trail with their passion for research, discovery, and continual change. They all have the opportunity to develop individually and pursue their chosen path. As an employer, we encourage everyone to make the most of their abilities because we understand what an important asset we have in our team.

More than 500 experts

There are more than 500 experts in various fields working at FEIG: High-tech specialists in contactless identification, contactless payment solutions, control electronics, and traffic sensors. Through their work they enable people to get around with smart, convenient technology and make easy, secure payments.

At the same time, this is a team of more than 500 mutually supportive people who help each other to make great things happen. This is where FEIG’s strengths as a medium-sized company come into play: Efficient decision-making, an innovation-friendly culture, and translating knowledge into real results.

High-tech yet down-to-earth

For more than 50 years, this outlook has shaped everything we do and the way we work together – in an open, family-like team where we keep our promises and treat each other fairly. We are as forward-thinking as we are down-to-earth.
Because even as an international high-tech firm, we never forget our roots. In a region with a high quality of living, which offers everything you need for a relaxed, productive life.

Teamwork and development opportunities

Here, new team members belong right away. We work to ensure they can quickly get to grips with a new role, for example through thorough induction and tailored training plans.
We help you become part of the dialog and provide a range of support measures. And not just when you first join the team, because we’re continually there for our employees. We support your professional development through personal and specialist further training and internal training. By arrangement we can also contribute to the cost of external training courses arranged privately.

Work-life balance, pensions and bonuses

As you would expect from a technology company, we offer a state-of-the-art environment with high-quality facilities and a positive atmosphere that promotes both efficient and enjoyable working.
All this creates a high level of motivation. We also take measures to make sure you can achieve a healthy work-life balance. This includes flexible work organization options such as flexi time and flexi leave (as an alternative to financial overtime compensation).

Finally, there are our provision measures for employees. This includes a company pension scheme, additional capital-forming contributions, and certain additional payments. The salary you get with FEIG builds a solid foundation on which to build.

A beautiful place to work

FEIG’S headquarters are in Weilburg, central Germany. The town is just over 50 km north of Frankfurt am Main and not far from Gießen, Wetzlar, and Limburg. Weilburg achieved fame as a spa town and thanks to one of Germany’s best preserved Renaissance palaces. The 16th century palace and park connect directly to Weilburg’s Old Town and its many timber-framed houses. And it is not just the town that is appealing; the surrounding countryside offers plenty of before- and after-work activities. Our employees enjoy canoeing on the River Lahn, mountain-biking, hiking, and other sports.

People at FEIG

Thomas Nahrgang

HR Manager

“We're a growing company. That's why you’ll find good development opportunities here to acquire new skills and knowledge and take on more challenging roles. The other thing that makes us stand out is the high level of team spirit within the company. There's a sense of harmony within and between the departments.”
Eldor Walk

Managing Director

“Our aim is to make a difference. But you can only achieve that when you enjoy what you do. Teamwork plays a very important role, because we work with very complex processes and you can only do that successfully as a team. In a word, FEIG is a successful company that people enjoy working for.”
Jona Hortig

Student

“After graduating from high school, my knowledge of RFID was limited, but through my studies at FEIG I was able to gain a deeper understanding of this and many other compelling subject areas. Thanks to my own projects, I am able to put the theories acquired during my studies into practice, and I have always been able to rely on the expert support of my colleagues. I am very grateful for the opportunity to complete a dual study program at FEIG as it gives me a solid foundation for my future career.”
Andreas Wennrich

Team Leader Hardware Development Identification & Payment

“We’re a young team, and new people are joining us all the time, but the teamwork works very well. That’s one of the things that has kept me loyal to the company for more than 20 years. What I like as a developer is the fact that you’re involved in the whole product process, from idea to concepts to series implementation. That’s something special.”
Ilona Siebert

SMT Production

“I especially like the shift work. It means I can balance work with family commitments. And at FEIG, I have opportunities. I’ve been in this job for a year so far. If I wanted to try something new, all I would have to do is talk to my supervisor. Then FEIG would enable me to do further training.”
Timo Hellemann

Trainee

“As trainees at FEIG, we go through various departments and gain a comprehensive understanding of the company and its internal processes.Particularly remarkable are the comprehensive further education opportunitiesas well as the learning and project day, which gives me enough time to focus on school tasksand at the same time strengthen the harmony and cohesion between us trainees."
Pasqual Müller

Software Engineer

“My first project as a dual student was about getting a new payment system to work on the machines in the break room. Today, firmware development for RFID readers is my area of responsibility. With a smile I remember that I didn't really want to go to school again after secondary school - but after the technical qualification and the dual study program made possible by FEIG, I'm glad I made a different decision!"
Alexander Heinz

Team Leader, Gate Control Production

“Everyone can contribute their own ideas. Then we decide which ones we're going to implement. Mistakes are allowed. Obviously, we make sure that the same mistakes don’t happen again. So far this approach has worked very well. So I find it very satisfying working here.”
