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.

How do you decide which is the best engineering company for you to join? We reveal student engineers’ most popular employers – but ultimately your choice of workplace will depend on the industry you want to work in, the career you want to have and the life you want to lead.

Engineering graduates often work towards professional qualification as a chartered engineer (CEng) or incorporated engineer (IEng). Find out what this involves.
