-: One of the requirements would be definitely to have
an engineering degree.
Most of the engineers there are chemical engineers
or mechanical engineers.
You also find some computer scientists as well.
There are some chemists and physicists and mathematicians,
but the majority of the community are engineers.
I myself is a biomedical engineer,
so I do, I don't strictly look
for just chemical and mechanical engineers.
But I look for students who one,
they've put the time into actually doing their resume.
Two, that their course loads includes different AutoCAD,
whether it's Creo or...
Soft or hard skills.
Three, that they are not just in the books.
And the other thing, how are they presenting themselves
when they're coming to me?
Are they dressed nicely?
Are they approachable?
And I like them to know where Picatinny Arsenal is
and what we kind of do.
It wouldn't be fair to come to a place
not knowing that you're gonna be working on
some type of armament.
'Cause then, the longevity isn't going to be there.
So I know most of the time,
we get a lot of males and they're like,
"Oh my goodness, yeah, I know Picatinny Arsenal."
You guys work on these type of ammunition
or these type of weapon systems.
So that's always a plus.
One of the best skills that someone can have
is being proactive.
And the other is not being afraid to ask questions.
I think that will take you a lot farther.
And the last one is not being afraid to make mistakes.
As a new engineer, you're probably gonna be prone
to making a few mistakes.
And understanding that, as engineers,
that's how we learn, so.
And being able to communicate as well.
That's probably one of the primary things.
