Quoting

At the beginning, it was mostly reading and gaining knowledge. Now, it involves doing calibrations, audits, attending meetings, working on projects, raising product requisitions, and in general, just helping out with whatever my manager or the process engineer or anyone else asks me to do. There can be a lot of free time, which can be used to read more or ask questions to gain more knowledge.

My role is often very busy and, at times, quite stressful due to the high expectations placed on us, some of which can feel unrealistic given the workload and available resources. There are times when the workload becomes overwhelming, and some of us feel the need to work beyond regular hours just to meet deadlines or avoid falling behind, even though this extra effort is not formally acknowledged. One of the key challenges is that our team feels understaffed, even though the company may believe the current headcount is sufficient. This mismatch between perceived and actual capacity adds pressure to the team. The tasks assigned are often technically demanding and complex, yet there is very little appreciation or recognition for the effort involved, both within the department and across the company. This can be demotivating, especially when the work requires a high level of focus and commitment.
