As a manufacturing engineer, I deal with any manufacturing issues and improvements which includes machining, assembly and other processes.

5/5
I have had the opportunity to go to Farnborough airshow which was a really good experience to see aircrafts that I help to manufacture parts for.
I also take part in the parker meggitt football team that plays in a league against other companies.
Most recently, I was involved in a kaizen week, where a cross functional team worked together to implement line improvements.
