RAL is a world-class research facility for astronomy, physics, and space science, I work as part of a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and technicians. My responsibilities include:

• Engineering lead for the assembly of the ATLAS ITk strip detector. Working closely with the project managers and activity coordinators to define assembly procedures and implement QA and QC steps.
• Chair local and international project meetings. Give technical updates on project activities.
• Consulting on microelectronics assembly techniques, including procurement of new equipment.
• Research and development into new and existing microelectronics technologies.
• Prototyping the next generation of detectors.
• Design and manufacture tooling for process development and production to BS8888 standards. Working closely with internal and external manufacturing facilities.
• Writing standard operating procedure documentation for microelectronic assembly.
• Writing COSHH and risk assessments.
• Working in ISO 5 and ISO 7 cleanrooms.
• Taking on responsibilities for interviewing, training, and supervising new graduate engineers, apprentices, and technicians, including direct line management duties.
• Test beam analysis.
• Python development for database component tracking.

ET enterprises manufactures and develops photon multipliers that can be used for several different applications of detecting low levels of electromagnetic radiation.

• Assembling and testing photon multiplier tubes at various stages of the production line.
• Summer job while at university, I had multiple other jobs since the age of 16, however this is the only one with relevance to engineering.
