Jenna Gaff - Design Engineer

Jenna_Gaff As a part of my degree course, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, I have time set aside to gain experience in an industrial setting. This provides an excellent opportunity to put into practice what I have already been taught as well as the chance to learn new skills/technical knowledge in preparation for my final year at University.

I have always had a fascination with fast cars so naturally I feel very fortunate to be spending this time working on the project with the Bloodhound team.
