After graduation from university, I joined the ASM Pacific Technology as a mechanical engineer. The company specializes in the production of advanced electronics manufacturing equipment. In addition to the mechanical design of the aforementioned equipment, my involvement also spans across various technical areas such as control systems and process automation. At the moment my primary focus is on developing machine automation and optimization for semiconductor packaging process. CUHK Mechanical and Automation Engineering (MAE) program has provided me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the industry. The program covers modern engineering expertise in a comprehensive manner, as opposed to the narrowly scoped traditional mechanical engineering teachings. These professional trainings enable me to deal with the challenges in my current position as well as to advance further on my career path in the future.

Working as an EGT in HAESL, I am currently undergoing the “Scheme A” training. Rotating between various production departments in the past year allowed me to learn from the experts in the aero engineering industry. The On-Job Training provided me with a valuable opportunity in acquiring the first-hand experience in overhauling an engine. Our Management attaches great importance to our all-round development; hence meaningful projects were assigned to us, which will nurture us to become future aviation experts. The company will also provide us with various secondment opportunities, including Cathay Pacific and Rolls Royce in the UK, which will definitely help me to better understand the integrity of the aviation industry. I am looking forward to my secondment training in the nearly future!
