The 13 week Summer Industrial Placement Programme

You will receive coaching and support to achieve your personal goals and work in multidisciplinary teams to gain experience across the product lifecycle.

This programme is remunerated £25,000 per annum.
What you’ll do as a Summer Placement Supportability Engineer
Supportability Engineers are integral to a product’s lifecycle: from concept and initial design, through production, and into in-service support.
They analyse and report on the Reliability, Maintainability and Testability (RMT) of a product and advise on design and development to satisfy customer specifications.
