After graduating, he worked in industry at the Electrical Automation Institute (VILATI), designing industrial automation equipment.

In 1960, Academician Ottó Benedikt transferred him to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Automation Research Laboratory (AKI), later the Computer Science and Automation Research Institute (SZTAKI). Here, he worked as a researcher on expanding the applications of the autodyne electrical amplifier until 1965 (at which time the topic was discontinued, as the amplifier was replaced by semiconductor thyristors). After that, he became acquainted with computer technology. From 1965 to 1970, he worked as the scientific secretary of SZTAKI, and then he worked on the computer-aided design (CAD) of electrical machines, which was considered pioneering at the time.
