      some things are very simple but then sometimes it does give you a headache! The good point to remember is as part of a team you all have the same goal and share the complex issues together.

      I think it is easier to work in an engineering-focused company, because you have a team of engineers around you to help you out and who understand why you want to pick apart problems and question things.

      I found it much harder to be a design engineer for a company that didn’t really “get” it, where my line manager was from a Sales background, and it was difficult to explain the importance of creative thinking or sometimes being insistent about safety-relevant things would be seen as you getting carried away
