Electrical Design Engineer Placement
2018 student, Daniel, shares his account of his time as an Electronic Design Engineer placement student at Apollo:
"I joined Apollo for the placement year during my degree so I could gain broad industry experience in a company that’s well respected for engineering, innovation and product design.
I was immediately made to feel welcome and part of the team, being treated as an equal, and given work that challenged me and pushed me beyond what I had learned at university.
I helped develop test equipment to allow us to prototype and test new products and continue working on existing devices too. The project allowed me to visit other companies and gain knowledge of other areas of the industry.
From the success of my placement I was offered a permanent position at Apollo and I am now part of the Electronic Design team, I enjoy all the challenges and problems that the work presents, which spans from developing new products to updating existing products. Looking to the future I’d like to continue working at Apollo to develop my knowledge and skills in engineering and help lead the fire detection industry in new and innovative directions."
