Overview
Creating and using software to assess product performance. Day-to-day, the role includes use of CAD and MATLAB, as well as report writing.
Skills
I have used and improved task management, research, written communication, and presentation skills. In addition, I have gained useful experience using MATLAB.
Responsibilities
I was tasked with two individual projects during the placement, where I was responsible for managing my own time and tasks with limited supervision. However, there was always help at hand when needed.
Support & Guidance
The team is very supportive and colleagues are very happy to be asked questions. I always felt that my learning and development was strongly valued by the team, and central to my placement experience.
Culture
Excellent. Everybody is very friendly and keen to support one another. The wider early careers programme is fantastic, and it clearly holds the learning and development of its members at its core.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my 10 months on placement very much, and it has helped my development of essential skills which I can take back to university. I would recommend it to any STEM 西瓜视频 as an excellent opportunity for a year in industry.
