Where the courses lead.

Designs, writes and maintains the software a company runs on.

On the job

• Break a feature into code other people can maintain
• Review a teammate's change and find the bug before users do
• Keep a system fast and running as it grows

Builds, trains and ships the models behind a product, and keeps them working after launch.

On the job

• Turn a product question into a dataset and a model
• Evaluate a model honestly before it reaches users
• Put a model into production and watch it drift

Turns a company's data into answers people can act on, and grows into building models.

On the job

• Write the query that answers this week's question
• Build a dashboard leadership actually reads
• Design an experiment and read its result correctly

Watches a company's systems for attacks and responds when something looks wrong.

On the job

• Triage alerts and separate noise from a real incident
• Investigate a suspicious login from first log line to root cause
• Write the report that stops the same attack twice

Runs experiments in a research or biotech lab and keeps the data clean.

On the job

• Run cell culture, PCR and other core lab techniques
• Record every step so an experiment can be repeated
• Analyse results and present them to the team

Analyses DNA and RNA sequencing data to find what matters in a genome.

On the job

• Run a sequencing analysis pipeline end to end
• Find and annotate variants that may cause disease
• Explain genomic results to biologists and clinicians

Tests products and environments for microbes so what leaves the plant is safe.

On the job

• Run microbial limit and sterility tests
• Monitor a clean room and investigate a failed sample
• Document everything to regulatory standards

Monitors clinical trials so the data is reliable and patients are protected.

On the job

• Visit trial sites and check data against source records
• Make sure a trial follows its protocol and the rules
• Track safety events and report them on time

Designs robots that sense, decide and move, and makes them reliable outside the lab.

On the job

• Integrate sensors, motors and control software
• Tune a controller until the motion is smooth and safe
• Debug a robot that works in simulation but not on the floor

Programs and maintains the robots and control systems on a production line.

On the job

• Program a robot cell and its safety interlocks
• Write and fix PLC logic for a line
• Bring a stopped line back up fast

Plans and flies drone missions for mapping, inspection and delivery.

On the job

• Plan a mission around airspace rules and weather
• Fly and inspect infrastructure safely
• Process the imagery into a map or a report

Designs and improves how things are made on the factory floor.

On the job

• Lay out a process so parts flow without waiting
• Cut defects with a root-cause study
• Bring a new product from drawing to production

Keeps materials, production and deliveries in balance so nothing runs out or piles up.

On the job

• Forecast demand and set inventory levels
• Find the bottleneck that is delaying orders
• Model the cost of a supplier switch

Runs and improves one step of chip manufacturing inside a fab.

On the job

• Keep an etch, deposition or lithography step within spec
• Read wafer data and find the cause of a yield drop
• Run experiments to improve a process

Proves a chip design works before it is sent to be manufactured.

On the job

• Write testbenches that try to break the design
• Chase a failing simulation to the line of logic behind it
• Measure coverage until nothing is left untested

Designs and tests the radio parts of phones, networks and satellites.

On the job

• Design and simulate an antenna or RF circuit
• Measure a signal in the lab and find the interference
• Plan coverage for a wireless network

Writes and tests programs for quantum computers.

On the job

• Express a problem as a quantum circuit
• Run it on a simulator and on real hardware
• Reduce the errors noise adds to the result

Makes sure the electric grid can carry the load it is asked to carry.

On the job

• Run a load-flow study for a new connection
• Check the grid survives a fault
• Plan upgrades for more renewables and electric cars

Takes a solar or wind project from site assessment to switching it on.

On the job

• Assess a site's resource and constraints
• Size the system and estimate its yield
• Coordinate contractors through construction

Designs mechanical parts and products and checks they will hold up.

On the job

• Model a part in CAD with the right tolerances
• Check stress and heat before anything is built
• Work with the shop to make the design manufacturable

Makes and measures materials at the nanoscale in a research lab.

On the job

• Synthesise nanomaterials to a recipe
• Characterise them with microscopy and spectroscopy
• Keep precise records for the research team
