As I was lucky enough to place on the concept design team with only a lead engineer and a senior engineer, the two of them gave me significant responsibilities and I was lucky enough to get one-on-one tutelage from them. However, other graduates have not been so lucky.

As a design engineering graduate, I have had two key projects. One of which Rheinmetall held design responsibility. This project involved day-to-day activities such as design brainstorming, 3D modelling (CAD), project meetings, researching current technologies to fit your applications, etc. On the other project, we were not the design responsible body (meaning we were contracting the design work to an external body). However, we have the responsibility to provide our customer with quality that lives up to our standards. In this project, my day-to-day responsibilities include supplier meetings, customer meetings, completing and managing FMEA's (noted issues list), completing action items that come out of the FMEA and occasional site visits.

Workload isn't overwhelming but it doesn't feel like I'm doing nothing either. There are lots of small milestones, to make me feel like I've accomplished something.

Pros and cons of working at Rheinmetall

Pros

  • Great team and great work. I have a lot of support from my team and everyone is more than happy to help. The work is fulfilling, enjoyable and always exciting.

  • Working in the Engineering Department everyone is super knowledgeable and experienced. Everyone is more than happy to share their knowledge and experience with me, helping me to become a better engineer.

  • Great atmosphere. Manageable workload. Flexible hours.

  • I am working on exciting projects and I feel I am having an impact on the work I am doing.

  • The senior engineers I work with are always willing to teach and give advice. I have been lucky enough to work on very interesting subsystems.

Cons

    • Lack of official registered training.

    • Although everyone is willing to share knowledge and experience, as a Graduate there is no formal programs or development goals for me to chase in order to help grow my capability.

    • Requires a 4-month wait for NV-1 security clearance to get into the meat and potatoes of my role.

    • The lack of official registered training and engineering tools - advanced FEA software, calculation tools such as Python/Matlab.
