    Overview

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

    • My day typically consisted of time spent in the lab investigating faults of Printed Circuit Assemblies and testing them to ensure functionality. Other days, I would be authoring test documents and work instructions regarding the main PCA I was working on.

    Skills

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

    • Lot of technical skills gained, including use of electronic simulation software, use of PCB design and schematic capture software, and finally soldering SMT components. Non-technical skills gained include a big boost presentation and communication skills as well as self-confidence.

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • I had a great time during my internship and made loads of lifelong friends along the way which always helps when you're working somewhere new in a town you've never lived in before. I also mostly enjoyed the technical aspect of my role and the degree of responsibility I was afforded.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to GE Aerospace

    • Apply even if you don't think you have all the relevant experience. No one expects you to have a starling CV in your second year of university. Just make sure you can show from all other non technical experiences that you have the qualities of a great employee and can match their values.
