Short Bio: Hi, I'm a 5th year MEng Mechanical Engineering, currently completing my master's year. I went on placement to CNH Industrial, thanks to the placement unit for helping me secure this, where I was a Plant Quality Engineer. This meant I was responsible for the quality of the finished product, looking after the production line that assembled the flagship model in addition to two fifths of the main production line. This covered the quality of incoming goods as well as assessing the impacts of internal procedures and the design of parts and assemblies on the finished product. I hope to transfer these practices to Team HARE
