This will provide hands-on experience of a day in the life of a systems engineer, offering a taste of what it is like to be working in the engineering division and systems engineering team in a globally recognised space company. SSTL do not expect applicants to have any prior knowledge or previous experience within engineering but showing a keen interest in this direction of career is desirable.
