1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

my role within this company is a test and quality engineer, this job is about fault finding, checking, analyzing and solving many problems. On a daily basis I would usually apply visuals, continuity test, power up to 240v and analyzing schemes. Then when I'm not testing I'm either checking goods in to online drawings or uploading data to our database for meetings.
