Engineering teams often face intense time pressure, and the environment they work in has a direct impact on how clearly they think and how effectively they collaborate.
This episode looks at how leadership, communication and team culture shape day‑to‑day engineering work inside fast‑moving technical environments. We’re joined by Marisa Kurimbokus, Head of Engineering at Raeon and IET Young Woman Engineer of the Year 2024.
Marisa’s career spans automotive, hydrogen technology and advanced battery manufacturing. Through those transitions, she has built a clear understanding of what supports effective engineering, from how ideas are discussed in design reviews to how pressure influences decision making and how teams stay focused when deadlines are challenging.
We also explore hybrid working, scaling manufacturing at Raeon, and the wider responsibility engineers carry when developing technology for a more sustainable future. Throughout the conversation, Marisa shares practical reflections shaped by real engineering environments and the people she has worked alongside.
