What we offer you
Applications will close on 10th of April 2023
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.
