Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role has involved the development of a system model for aiding in verification test review. Also I have completed technical documentation ready for review and release to the customer. The day-to-day involves progress towards larger scale tasks (such as the documentation) combined with smaller tasks such as bug fixing to solve other related problems on the project.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given the solo responsibility to produce a complete and substantial piece of documentation which will ultimately be released to the customer as part of the project verification. Additionally, I was trusted to implement requirement changes to the system model and flight software.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
