In Caeleste, you are not just an employee but a member of a family. I understood that from how I was welcomed into my new career by my new colleagues on the first day. I was surrounded by curious and creative minds that were ready to share their experiences and insights with me and guide me through the obstacles. It was my first step to a professional life and I adapted to it easily thanks to the support of my colleagues. I feel part of an academy where all of us are both student and teacher and where the ideas can be freely discussed. Caeleste is the place where those creative ideas turn into innovative designs through experience. I feel lucky to be a part of this creation process.

Bilgesu Sezgin
Junior Analog Designer

As a lead design engineer, I analyze specifications from customers and translate the requirements to architecture. Next, we use this architecture to design an image sensor that is the beating heart of our customers’ next frontier project. I can see a project growing from customer specifications up to real images taken by the realized silicon in our test system.
The aspect I like the most about Caeleste is how it offers a path where you perfectly combine growing and learning in conjunction with contributing and engineering on real projects. I share my experience internally through in-house courses during a weekly project called ‘Caeleste University’, my colleagues do the same. This drives fast knowledge sharing and accelerating growth both for the engineer and company.
