      In a normal day I will be using my computer for most of the day. Today I have been using a model to look at the pressure drop through a system for a mission to Mars. Between the tank (which stores the fuel) and the engine there are various valves, filters and things to measure pressure. Each of these causes a drop in the pressure which means less thrust/force to the engine.

      I usually have a few meetings in the week to discuss status with the rest of the project team. All the different teams need to interact frequently as we each have inputs/outputs that effect each other.

      Sometimes I also get to go into the cleanroom and see the hardware.

      A normal day for me means looking after my team of 10 awesome Designers! My job is all about helping them to do the best job that that they can do by making sure that they have the support that they need.
