Welcome to another episode of Gen Z in Manufacturing, a podcast that asks young people about their journeys in manufacturing, how they intend to influence the industry and what they are looking for from an employer.
For this episode, I welcome Bahir Usanmaz, a 26-year-old AI software engineer for Nordson Test & Inspection, a manufacturer of metrology and inspection systems and sensors for a range of industries, including automotive, energy, aerospace and medical.
Usanmaz joined Nordson more than four years ago as a junior software engineer working on the company’s Automatic X-ray Metrology product line. He now develops AI solutions used across multiple product lines.
In this episode, Usanmaz discusses:
- (1:03) How Gen Z is creating jobs
- (4:18) Engineering skills that matter most in the modern era
- (7:00) Why Gen Z is more skeptical of AI than older generations
- (9:20) The question that manufacturers should be asking about AI
- (12:11) Why team fit matters more than individual skills
