A GRADUATE in engineering from Middlewich has just been given his boyhood dream job after leaving university.


James Muir, 23, from Middlewich, has just landed a role as a graduate Electrical Integration Engineer at Aston Martin soon after graduating from Lancaster University with his Masters Degree with Honours in Electronic Systems Engineering.


James said: “I love it here at Aston Martin and I am very pleased to have joined such an excellent company, and I get to drive cars.


“It has always been a boyhood dream to drive an Aston and now I get to do that as part of my job.”


In his role at Aston Martin, James is currently working on the Infotainment Systems at Aston Martin Lagonda working with suppliers to develop software and hardware.


He chose an engineering degree because he has always enjoyed building things and taking them apart to find out more about them. But his true passion lies with electronics and, as such, found electronic engineering to be his perfect degree choice with excellent career opportunities.


He chose Lancaster University as it was an accredited degree in a good location and the common first year in engineering appealed to him for a broader, better-rounded higher education
He also really liked the idea of a collegiate system which he thoroughly enjoyed along with work experience at Bentley Motors.


His work experience at Bentley stood him in good stead when leaving University and he now has the opportunity to work on one of Britain’s most prestigious motors.
