2018-2019 student, Alex, gives his account of his time at Apollo so far:
"I have really enjoyed my placement at Apollo so far. Even though I only started a few months ago, I have already been involved in many different areas including; evaluating a new design of chip from a supplier, designing, building and testing test equipment for internal use at our external test houses.
I’ve learnt loads that I’ve not yet covered at University including, a new programming language. My placement has helped bring to life what I’ve learnt at University, I’ve been able to implement the theory into real world designs.
There have been so many opportunities for learn additional skills and other development areas, such as the EMC training that Apollo delivered though an external expert. I feel much more confident in communicating with external companies to explain issues that we were encountering and trying to find solutions that were mutually beneficial to both companies.
Everyone at Apollo has been very welcoming and incredibly helpful."
