A week and a half of years to come...

So now, it's been 8 days to be exact. 8 days of being an employee of Sony EMCS. It's a 3 months contract for a start as a probation under the MTP (Management Trainee Programme).

Job title?

Design Engineer. Under the Product Design 3 department of the Video Design division.

What will i be designing?

Video players that is Blu-ray or maybe DVD for Sony. Market for the whole wide world.

But i'm a Mechanical Engineer grad! What the hell am i doing in an consumer electronic company?

Well, I'll be handling the engineering part that those electronic engineer don't know how!

Main thing would be designing the inside chasis of the player, the outside casing including front panels (its cosmetics and all), and also a bit about the ventilation and cooling of the electronics.

Those electronic engineer may know how to design fast, efficient and state-of-the-art chip, but they surely don't know how to control those heat! haha!
They also don't know about material type, strength etc.

So, that's where we Mechanical Engineers come in! Designing those beautiful looking casings of the video players, those inside chassis which hold all those electronic boards, displays, and I/O's in place rigidly, and making sure it's main chip won't overheat!
