The thing I like best about my job is that I work on a global program and so I spend much of my day on the phone to people from around the world working together to produce the best system possible in regards to performance, quality, cost and time.
However there is also plenty of time outside of meetings to work on the design of components and the system itself!
To find out a bit more about what I do on a daily basis, there is a video on youtube which you can watch featuring me at work!  The video was produced for the IET’s Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award 2014 and as well as the video on my work you can also see 4 other young women and what they do as engineers.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3xAHYER90M
