My job
(Sent by Isabel Santos, a student from Salamanca, Spain)

I'm working in for a company where different kinds of hardware, which are assembled into satellites, are designed, manufactured and tested before the integration to the satellite and launch. These satellites are used for telecommunications, earth and environmental researches.

I am assigned to the product assurance department. Our task is to ensure the quality of these products from design to delivery.

We inspect that these products comply with the given specification by the customer. And when we can't comply with this specification, we announce the customer about the situation.

Moreover, we check out all documents which are made by the electrical and mechanical engineers where the characteristics and test campaign for these hardware are detailed.

Several times in each project we mantain hold meetings with customers where we explain what is the situation of the project and what is the next  scheduled one is.
