Sarah, embedded electrical and electronic systems engineer
On the blog we talk with Sarah, Embedded Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineer, on mission at Framatome in the nuclear sector
Sarah is a young engineer who left school in summer 2019. After a DUT in Physical Measurement, she is oriented towards apprenticeship where she discovers embedded electrical and electronic systems in engineering school.
For her apprenticeship, she joined Airbus Helicopters: "a great opportunity where my mission was to check and analyze aircraft systems so that they meet current standards. A very formative mission! ».
In the course of the year, she discovered the profession of consultant during a job dating organized in her school. "A revelation for my future career: I discovered a very flexible job, where I can be mobile on several missions and sectors of activity. I'm curious, and I told myself right away that it was made for me! ».
Sarah was contacted before she left school by MCA and immediately felt a good contact with the teams: "I noticed that my future managers had a very good understanding of what I wanted to do with my career, it reassured me and motivated me".
Being hired on profile, several missions were proposed to him. It is for Framatome that Sarah will finally decide. "Having specialized in Energy in her last year of school, this mission spoke to me immediately. She became a V&V Engineer (System Verification and Validation) in November 2019.
"My integration went very well. The teams are young, I felt comfortable right away.
Sarah's day-to-day job is to specify modifications to nuclear power plant systems and check that everything corresponds to current standards. These tests are carried out on specific software at Framatome's facilities, before being tested "in the field" at the power plants. "I really like the fact that we work as a team on projects. We support each other and check each other's work. It's very formative.
"What do I like most about this project? Learning on a daily basis, working on different systems.
