Expectations
From you
As a WARG co-op, you are a member and have the same expectations as any other member: Expectations of Members
The difference is that you are required to have greater time commitment to WARG:
You must be on a co-op term that aligns with the term of our posting.
You cannot be in school and be doing a WARG co-op at the same time.
WaterlooWorks enforces this requirement for us.
Location is in person or hybrid (on site at least 1 time per week)
Remote co-op is not currently supported by WARG
The position is full time, but your working hours are flexible
As long as you are making progress and attending meetings, you can do whatever you want with your time
You are expected to attend the regular WARG meetings (1-2 times per week)
WARG meetings are typically held during the evening on Discord
Most meetings are scheduled for 1 hour
Your mentor informs you which meetings you are expected to participate in (e.g. weekly subteam meetings)
You are expected to participate in flight tests relevant to your project (variable, typically 1-2 times per month)
Flight tests are typically 1 entire day during a weekend
You are expected to attend syncs with your mentor (daily)
Your mentor organizes this with you
While the scheduled length is at least 30 minutes, the syncs can be shorter if there is less to discuss
