Product Engineering: Electronics and Complex Systems Review

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.

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.

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.

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.

Company culture is excellent, especially with the new Reimagine strategy and the drive to deliver modern luxury to the customers.

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.
