Feeling she belongs at Northrop Grumman

Mei-Li started her career as an intern test engineer, and thought the entire project was really fascinating. She ended up asking: "My passion is design. What role can I play?"

"I worked under a different lead who was absolutely amazing in guiding me to figure out a design in four days," explains Mei-Li. "Normally a design could take months, but we had worked away at it and were able to produce results successfully.
