Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My leading roles are stress, material, fatigue analysing, standardising the existing methods of analysing, and project management. Mostly, I do FEA of robot adaptors and grippers, report it to the design teams if there are any concerns, and provide design recommendations to overcome those issues.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
After just two months of my placement and all the trainings, I got my own project. I managed the project for the whole year and finished it just before finishing my placement. During that project, I oversaw all the crucial tasks and responsibilities such as maintaining constant communication with other teams within JLR and our suppliers. Besides, I also completed many other small and medium projects.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
At the beginning of my placement, I was overwhelmed with all the trainings and onboarding materials. During that time, all of my team members and specially my supervisor was very supportive and friendly. My whole placement was super smooth and easy because of their continuous guidance. I never had to go through any stresses because they always helped me when I needed.
