My job is quite unique in the fact that I get to move around the business. With the graduate scheme I get to pick where I want to work for a few months. This gives me the ability to learn about areas I don’t understand. I go into the office 1 or 2 days a week and get to work from home. There is a good balance of responsibility and learning.
My job is a mix of science, engineering and technology as rolled into one. So I get to spend time learning how a process works and helping to figure out how to make it better before translating that into something achievable with the technology available.
My day to day role is probably 50% programming, 30% documentation and 20% meetings with my team and customers.
My job is to build computer models and controllers for physical systems. I use maths to represent physical system and then simulate it in a computer using MATLAB/Simulink software. I then develop controllers to control its behaviour to keep the system stable. I present various scenarios to this controlled system/process to see whether or not the controller will be able to do its job satisfactorily according to the requirements. I spend about 90% in front of computers and the rest in talking to colleagues, teams, learning, etc.
