    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • On a day to day basis my job includ the design of mechanical and electrical systems using CAD. drafting drawings based on CAD models. Discussing the prototyping of components with suppliers and being part of supplier meetings to discuss scaling up of production. I also took part in validation exercises and ensuring components were designed to meet applicable engineering standards.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Previously I had not had much experience of CAD in any sense, so greatly improved my design capabilities. I also developed business acumen and professionalism when presenting, contacting or meeting with suppliers or external visitors.
