• Design & Develop Electronic Systems: Creating and testing electronic systems is fundamental to an engineering graduate's role, particularly in a defence context where precision and reliability are key.
  
  
• Utilise Design & Simulation Tools: Using design and simulation tools like CAD is essential for electronics engineers, as these tools help in creating accurate and reliable designs for complex defence systems.
  
  
• Translate Designs to Manufacturing: In defence, it's important to ensure that designs can be efficiently manufactured while meeting stringent requirements.
