Overview
I work in the Powertrain domain, more specifically in the High Voltage Systems team. In here I was tasked to shadow several senior colleagues in the team, and was involved in several projects. I had experiences in both Power Electronics and Systems Engineering, but I ended up working more on the Systems Engineering aspects. I work from 8-5 everyday with a hybrid working pattern.
Skills
Learned a lot about Power Electronics knowledge and Systems Engineering (more specifically, Model-Based Systems Engineering). Learned to use several new software used in industry. Also learned a lot about Agile and how feature and attribute delivery in a company progresses.
Responsibilities
My role requires a lot of hard skills before undertaking tasks. It was a long process at the start to gather all the knowledge, but I was slowly provided with my own work and responsibilities.
Support & Guidance
I received a good amount of support and guidance. One downside is that there is no "fixed" hybrid working pattern in my team. Hence, it's a bit hard to try and meet someone in the office, as everything is pretty much online.
Culture
Company culture is excellent, especially with the new Reimagine strategy and the drive to deliver modern luxury to the customers.
Your Impressions
I feel like I was given the correct amount of work and tasks as a current student undergoing a placement. I learned not only about the industry and the job role, but about the modern workplace and habits too. One thing I think I would prefer is if my team was more present in the office. As a placement student, being in-person in my team would be a lot more interactive.
Yes
Be the best version of yourself. Have the passion and drive to learn.
