Christian Ihejirika

Aerospace Engineering graduate applying for the Graduate Mechanical Engineer / Environmental Test Engineer role. Final-year project was a vibration study — modelling a resonant drivetrain, defining repeatable disturbance cases and measuring RMS response near an 80 Hz mode — so the physics behind vibration testing is familiar rather than new. Mechanical design and CAD experience suits fixture work, and over two years of shift work in a 24/7 production facility means the shift pattern, housekeeping standards and safety discipline hold no surprises.

Based in Northampton, a short daily commute from Silverstone. Eligible to work in the UK.
