Favorite Parts of Working in the Aerospace Industry as a GN&C Engineer
Ife, a GN&C Engineer in the aerospace industry, finds the most rewarding aspect to be the ability to see "impact from what you're doing," transforming concepts into tangible results within a relatively short timeframe— "in the space of months or years"—a unique opportunity not afforded to many professionals. This rapid progression from concept to reality is what Ife finds "really exciting."

What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
In terms of the aerospace industry, or what I call high-tech, what I enjoyed is if you're working on small enough projects, you actually have the potential to really see impact from what you're doing.
Some of the things that we're working on for things that have not been done before are quite exciting. To go from just a concept in someone's head into something that you now have a vehicle for, and then to see that out in the field in the space of months or years, is something that not everyone gets to do.
