Becoming a DSTL Engineer

Transcript

So I'm a crew systems engineer at DSTL,

and Technology Laboratory.

I got into it mostly by chance.

Just kind of like trying out new things

My university

degree was in spacecraft systems

Which is really awesome.

And, that sort of

kind of sowed the seed,

in sort of the human side of things,

in spacecraft is,

there's lots of physiological implications

And that kind of perked my interest as to

how do we design

that people are going to be, living in,

So it's that sort of interesting

So I came to DSTL, through

and, I remember applying

for several different roles because that

And,

and aerospace is sort of helicopters,

And I remember

and getting a call afterwards to say

but we are very interested for you

because of your background

And so I got talking to one of my now

really cool. Interesting.

Particularly working on The Tempest,

and really sort of

designing things from the outset,

I think I was very lucky in terms of my,

for sort of STEM

when if you do a Stem subject

what opportunities

And luckily, I enjoyed physics and, and

So yeah, I wanted to do something

engineering related and solve problems

That and although sort of Aircrew Systems

people think it's quite a niche area,

actually it touches huge numbers of areas.

So the person sitting in the cockpit,

they are

impacted by the size of the cockpit,

that they're working in.

You have several stresses as well,

You've also got lighting, you know, that

Actually, it's

So it's, it's quite this,
