      On average around 20%. The rest of the time is spent designing, developing and making sure that it works when it is eventually made.

      As I’m part of the MAIT team in Oxford Space Systems ( which is mainly making things ), I spend about 60% of my day making things. The rest of the days are either helping other areas in the company or doing little side jobs, such as, college work and paperwork.

      I don’t make anything, I just need to understand how the already made products works so i can teach customers how to use it and support them with any issues

      As much as I want (one of the benefits of working at a start up). At the moment it’s probably around 75% though we’re about to enter another design phase for new products so then it’ll switch to 70% designing and 30% making things.
