Profile

I started my engineering education since I was 16 by attending a Technical High School in Malaysia. I focused on ‘Electrical and Electronics Engineering’ took also Engineering Drawing modules. Apart from the two additional courses, I also studied normal subjects including Science and Physics.

After High School, I pursued my Bachelor Degree in Electrical Power and Renewable Energy Engineering at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh. I also did my Master in Energy at the same University.

After graduated from the University, I was offered a role at Bombardier Transportation as a Graduate Engineer. As a Graduate, I have the opportunity to work with engineers from different departments and background throughout my placements.

As part of the graduate program, I have been offered opportunities to work in different teams and functions (rotation plan). This allows me to have better understanding of the business operation.

As a Graduate, I have the opportunity to work and communicate with engineers from different backgrounds (mechanical/ electrical / others). My work scope covers design development based on customer’s and legal requirements. I have been involved in the system development of signalling system and functional modelling.

Working in an international company, I also have the chance to work with colleagues across the world including France, Sweden and etc.

I usually come to work at 8.30 am. As soon as I settle myself, I will manage and organise my ‘to-do-list’ based on the priority. I then check my email and take note of ‘issues to be solved’ and ‘issues that are already solved’. This may and may not be related to my daily tasks and deliverable.

After understanding all the issues, I will then set up meetings with the relevant engineers to discuss and agree about the solutions. The meetings could take half of the day depending on the complexity of the issues.

I normally spend the second half of my day at the desk working on my actual tasks which covers customer’s or team’s deliverable such as preparing technical documentations and design updating.
