I work as part research and development team.

We design and build probes that are used on co-ordinate measurement machines (CMMs). CMMs are used to measure components that are then used to build things like cars or jet engines where the parts need to manufactured very accurately. These probes can measure the size and shape of objects by touching them or by using cameras.

My job is as a Systems Engineer and Project Manager. This means that I am responsible for ensuring that all the different parts of probes work together including the electronics, mechanics and software.

I also have to ensure that everyone working on creating the probe are working efficiently and that the probes are safe to use.
What I'd do with the money

I'd like to fund an activity that combines engineering and sport....maybe with an Olympic theme! ◯‍◯‍◯‍◯‍◯
