[M.PEOPLE] Christian Philipp | Brakes Engineer | MTCE

Sometimes it's even 30 degrees Celsius.

Here I am able to drive different types

of cars under the mentioned

circumstances and I'm really, really

grateful for this. One has to know that

Mobis is really a global player. So, we

have for instance

the race drivers, Formula 3 driver, a

rally driver, [music] but we also have

like car enthusiasts and therefore we

really proceed and grow.

[music]

[music]

>> My name is Christian Philipp and I'm now

working for Mobis [music]

more than 3 years and I'm working in

Germany MTCE brakes and I'm mainly

responsible for the T-Sox budget

planning, also

asset management, but my main focus is

really the measurement system and

therefore I function as a link between

several stakeholders. I work very close

>> [music]

>> with the workshop and therefore it was

decided that I will become the work

group leader of the workshop.

>> [music]

>> Everything that had to do with cars was

interesting for me. Therefore, I wanted

to let's say intensify my interests

and started a vocational training, so an

apprenticeship and became a mechatronic,

[music] which is the combination of an

electronic on the one side, so

soldering, wiring and so on [music] and

on the other side a

So, I like the hot stuff and

>> [music]

>> welding, grinding, and so on.

But, that was actually not enough

[music] cuz I wanted to become an

engineer, wanted to proceed. And

therefore, I had the chance to study

dually with a

different company.

It was Continental, now known as

AMOVEYU.

And therefore, I worked

9 years

in the R&D section and

most likely at the advanced development

team, but also [music] in the vehicle

dynamics. And my, again, main focus then

[music] specified in measurement

systems.

>> [music]

>> It started even at the time when I was

working at Conti [music]

cuz

MOBIS was getting bigger and bigger and

it entered the list of the 10 biggest

suppliers. [music]

It was really, really interesting to

see. Several years later,

>> [music]

>> friends of mine and also co- or former

co-workers started at MOBIS. And they

told me about their job, their role,

their responsibilities. And therefore, I

was really more than just interested in

this.

>> [music]

>> And in the end,

I am very happy that MOBIS also

headhunted [music] me.

And in the end, it was a match for both

of us. It was the perfect [music]

timing.

Since I'm the link between so many

stakeholders, there is so much work to

do and the very first day, you can see

me in the office, on the telephone, on

the laptop, and talking to suppliers,

[music] some sort of acquisition, but

also like ordering hardware and [music]

so on. And the very next day, I'm very,

very deep inside a car, try to find

failures and debugging.

>> [music]

>> And on the other day, like probably

today, you can see me on the [music] ice

testing my own setup that I have

prepared and have ABS testings and also

like lane change maneuvers. And this is

something that really makes [music] me

grateful.

For me, most likely it's pleasing

[music]

all stakeholders. I think this is really

something that I always highlight. It's

a combination that you have hardware,

that you [music] have software.

Everything has to be integrated at some

point. And my job is

to build a certain kind of

yeah, [music] base on which the

validation and application team can

proceed and do their job. So, without

[music] my job, they cannot concentrate

on their job. And this is the reason why

I'm so proud that I am [music] in this

position to provide this job to them.

So,

you have to know that

when you look at the system,

it's not only small sensors. Each and

every channel [music]

has to be mapped, but also has to be

synchronized at one point that

all the data

in the analysis makes sense in the end.

>> [music]

>> Normally,

the winter season [music] starts in

December. For me personally, it's

4 to 8 weeks in Sweden cuz

>> [music]

>> again Mobis has a perfect work-life

balance that we are able to stay 2 weeks

for instance in Sweden, 2 weeks in

Germany, and vice versa. So, it's always

that we have time here to do our job,

but also at home at the test track to

proceed and then go back to Sweden

again. First word that came into my mind

is cool. As you can see when I'm

breathing the fog is really, really

cold. And this is a huge stress test for

the cars, for the environment, for the

cable sensors that I'm also responsible

for, of course. But it's also a stress

test for people. But it's more than

this. So, cool should be translated into

extraordinary. Here [music] I am able to

drive different types of cars under the

mentioned circumstances, and I'm really,

really grateful for this. Here you find

the perfect [music]

arctic conditions

that you can work on low mu and

have [music]

different frictions and different

scenarios.

Here in Sweden, we can really

specify, and therefore you have

to have contact with the whole team. And

not talking only about Europe,

but I'm talking about globally contact.

Here in Sweden, this is the perfect spot

for meeting. So, normally, [music]

again, we we have phone calls, we have

teams, and so on. But also focus on

working together in joint tunings and

collaborate and [music] share thoughts.

Two to three times in winter seasons, we

have the Korean barbecue.

>> [music]

>> And this is something so, so special.

It's not only

because of the food or even the beverage

we are drinking. It's about spending the

time together, and we celebrate our

success as one Mobis team.

>> [music]

>> And this is something I'm really happy.

And this is also something that is stuck

[music] into my mind, and I am really

really happy to be part of each and

every year.

Did Did you get to drink Soju as well?

Of course. And so make.

Hello. Hey.

>> [laughter]

>> I went to a co-workers of mine and asked

them

to describe me with three words and the

first one was creative. The second one

was problem-solving and third one was

warm-hearted and friendly. So creative

and has a second aspect to it for me. So

it's not only creative but I'm also

structured at the same time cuz normally

when you you are creative you have

thoughts, you have impressions

>> [music]

>> but there is no structure. But for me

the perfect balance therefore is really

[music] really important and if there is

a problem I want to solve it. And that's

it. [music] So that's the reason why

they describe me like this. Warm-hearted

and I think this is really the way that

I talk to people and behave and this

also

>> [music]

>> I'm very happy to tell I was awarded for

Mr. Sunshine award last year. So [music]

I think the last hashtag fits me best.

>> [music]

>> Passion is the most important thing.

When you have a look at our performance

team

you have different types of people with

[music] interests and also capabilities.

So we have for instance

the race drivers, Formula 3 driver,

[music] a rally driver, but we also have

like car enthusiasts. So people [music]

that are really interested into cars or

even logic guys for instance. So like

imagine you you code, you you you you

have your own logic [music] but you're

also able then to test it on a test

track on the lake here in Sweden, which

is really, really perfect. And this

[music] is such an experience that has

to be shared to others, and therefore I

always say, follow your dreams, follow

your passion, and also then combine it

with some sort of education and skills,

and [music] then we will meet at

Moveris.

>> [music]

>> First of all, you always have to say

cars have [music] to break. I think it's

it sounds really easy,

but it's more than this.

So, in the near future,

we will have more and more [music]

functions that suit and help the driver

while driving. For instance, we we

started with ESC systems and cruise

control, but now [music] we proceed and

have more ADAS systems and more AI

systems, and therefore we really proceed

[music] and grow.
