When the COVID-19 crisis struck, people like you were able to harness their technical ingenuity to help to solve the ventilator shortage. STFC’s technicians, engineers, and scientists were able to more than double the stock of ventilators available to the NHS by helping to deliver 13,437 ventilators as part of Ventilator Challenge UK. “Our small but effective team of scientists, engineers and technicians volunteered to help with this urgent task and we were able to support, train, and, in some cases, lead parts of the testing and rework effort. We've made interesting connections outside the research community that will persist beyond the end of the Ventilator Challenge.” Dr Kristian Harder, STFC Particle Physics Department.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Science and Technology Facilities Council (Didcot, England, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Automated interview where you just answer simple questions. Then after that you have an online test which has numerical and shape problems to solve which is fairly easy to do. The assessment day started off with the technical interview which was ok, they asked a lot of about different types of materials and what were the pro and cons. The group activity is impossible to do
