My manager at Virgon Orbit gave me real, important work that directly contributed to the goal of getting Launcher One (the rocket Virgin Orbit is developing) closer to launch. I was told that I was doing work that a full time engineer would be doing within the propulsion group. The people were always happy to help out and guide me as I learned my way around engineering in a rocket factory.

Advice
Virgin Orbit is an awesome company and I would highly encourage anyone interested in engineering to apply. I learned more in 3 months than I ever thought possible.
