More Information🔥 Can You Build a Successful Career in Photonics Without a PhD?
The answer is: yes – if you bring curiosity, customer focus, and the drive to take ownership.
In the first episode of our new format “The Company Special,” SalesPro4U CEO Susette Germer speaks with Christian Schröter, Managing Director of OPTOPRIM, about careers in photonics, industrial sales, and what it really takes to grow in a highly specialized deep tech market – including OPTOPRIM’s open role for an Industrial Sales Engineer for Laser Systems and Optical Technologies.
💡 Christian’s own story is the best example: he started at OPTOPRIM around 10 years ago as a service sales engineer with an electronics background. Step by step, he moved into technical sales, became sales director, and is now managing director.
His journey shows that leadership in photonics is not only about academic titles. It is about listening to customers, solving real problems, building trust, and being willing to step out of your comfort zone.
And photonics is everywhere. As Christian explains, we touch many products every day that have been processed, measured, marked, or supported by laser technology – from phones and glasses to medical devices, manufacturing, research, data centers, space, and heavy industry.
