Mechanics and Optics – Precision at the highest level
Ivana Jelic, Mechanics & Optics Engineer, with us since June 2004

They are implemented through innovative concepts and projects.

Sebastian Pfaff, Senior Engineer Optics & Mechanics, with us since September 2023
What aspects of the work here motivate you the most?
Leica Geosystems measurement solutions are highly complex systems, and this complexity naturally extends to their development. Overcoming these challenges day by day results in a product you can slowly watch growing. I am fortunate to be involved at every stage – starting from initial sketches, moving through the development of first prototypes and leading up to the moment I hold the final product in my hands. Once our products reach the market, they can be found all over the world: Showing my contributions to family and friends while remembering and sharing development stories makes me proud and motivates me for every new challenge approaching.
Why did you decide to work with us, and how has your opinion of the company developed since then?
I was seeking a personal challenge – a chance to deepdive into technology and precision engineering. Leica Geosystems’ products fascinate me, and I was eager to learn and understand the science behind it. Knowing Leica Geosystems’ reputation as a trusted brand with a strong market position gave me the confidence and safety to take on this journey. My perspective hasn’t changed; instead, it rather evolved: Learning must never stop and with every concept I grasp, I discover ten more topics that are new to me and worth to follow up with. Leica Geosystems’ diverse product portfolio ensures that I am constantly expanding my knowledge and develop not only our products but also myself.
Can you give an example of when you felt particularly supported or encouraged?
Holding the first physical parts in hand after a long development phase is always an encouraging milestone. The excitement grows even more as functionalities begin to take shape and come to life. For me, the most memorable moment was capturing the first images with a camera module we had developed. Sharing this achievement with colleagues and the entire development team was a proud and rewarding experience.
What makes your team special?
In my optics and mechanics team, we have engineers and physicists with decades of experience—some who were working on surveying equipment before I was even born. These experts have encountered nearly every challenge imaginable in their careers and are always willing to share their knowledge as we encounter new obstacles. Alongside them are engineers and senior engineers, who serve as the backbone of every new development. Then, there’s the next generation—the “young and wild,” eager to learn and enthusiastic about adopting the latest technologies to leave their mark on future innovations. In my understanding this is the perfect combination of experience, expertise and fresh perspectives to develop next-generation products while offering the well-known Leica Geosystems quality that our customers expect when they use our devices.
On a lighter note we are also the melting pot of cultures in the RhineValley. I assume we might have the highest density of dialects in any team, mixing up all kinds of cultures and customs in and outside of work

Additionally, Hexagon’s Geosystems division promotes a healthy work-life balance, or what we like to call work-life blending, ensuring that employees can thrive both professionally and personally.
What challenges have you overcome with us, and how did the company help you navigate them?
When I joined the company, one of the challenges I encountered was my fear of public speaking, rooted in limited practice during my student years. However, the company provided me with opportunities to present to diverse audiences. This significantly enhanced my confidence and helped me recognize my expertise. The trust and belief that key individuals within the company placed in me encouraged me to believe in myself as well. This is just one example of how the company's support has been instrumental in my professional growth.
What tips do you have for applicants to integrate well into the team and the company culture?
