Overview of Role

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

Working with environmental & mechanical team currently, performing maintenance on test equipment and providing support to various test engineering teams during environmental testing. I spend around half my day at my desk doing paperwork etc., and the other half down in production and testing areas doing more hands-on work. The variety of work i do means that I rarely have a boring day at work and makes it very hard to accurately describe exactly what I do on a day-to-day basis.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Two new programming languages, software packages I'd never used before (eg MS Visio), furthered my practical abilities, learned about electronics (as I come from a mechanical background and was working until February in an electronics focused team I had to learn about what I was being tasked with)
