In my role at MBDA, I am involved in aerodynamic characterisation of products for carriage, release and jettison analysis to ensure safe operation on current and future platforms. I’ve been able to build strong experience in simulation and modelling whilst working on different projects across the equipment lifecycle, which has been especially varied and interesting.

From a young age, I was curious in understanding how things worked, constantly experimenting with different ideas and solutions.

Graduate engineers tell us they have job satisfaction, despite the fact they could earn more in other industries. Highlights include good work/life balance and interesting work.
