―三恵イーグルに入社した動機は？

One of the main reasons that I joined Sankei Eagle is the cultural appeal. Although I could not speak Japanese at all and I have never had any experience working in Japan, I could not resist such a challenging opportunity. Learning about the Japanese culture, the language, the people and the customs is an invaluable experience which I believe will definitely help me in my career.

The other main reason for joining Sankei Eagle is because the management is very pro-active and allowed me to define my own job scope. This really made me feel that Sankei Eagle wants to bring out the best in me and believes in my capabilities.

I also felt that having stayed in Singapore for over 8 years, working in Japan would be a welcome change and an excellent experience to broaden my horizons.

―学生の時の専攻は何ですか？
I obtained my Master of Science Degree in Smart Product Design from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. During my study I did many courses in Advanced Mechanism Design, Micro-Processor Systems, Industrial Electronics, Engineering Materials and Manufacturing design. I also took some courses in Ergonomics and Quality Control. My dissertation was a Research and Development project that I did with Sankei Eagle involving High Speed Screw Fastening.

I believe that not only learning but also applying what I have learnt to my work made this study very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

―IBMシンガポール社時代の業務内容は？
I joined Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Singapore (formerly IBM Singapore) as a Mechanical Design Engineer (Tooling Group). I was involved with Mechanical Design Review and Modification with vendors for Automation of the HDD Assembly Process, Qualification of Automated Tooling / Process and Station set-up and debugging. I also liaised for Singapore with the San Jose Tooling and Process Development team and also with Japanese vendors (especially Sankei Eagle) for technology transfer.

I later transferred to the Reliability Failure Analysis group where I studied about Hard Disk Drive Technology. My specialty was in HDI(Head-Disk Interface) which involved many technical fields like Materials, Mechanics, Magnetism, Tribology, Organic Chemistry, Fluid Dynamics, Heat transfer, Optics and Quantum Physics. This was one of the most interesting phases of my career where I was fully focused in the technical field and my knowledge grew ten-fold during this period. I must say that this job really helped me to analyze any and every technical problem from the basics by applying the fundamental theories.

―三恵イーグルでの仕事の内容は？
My primary responsibility in Sankei Eagle is to assist with the Research and Development. Having worked in Singapore, I am also helping to set up the business operations for the Singapore office. I love this job because it gives me a chance to focus on the technical and non-technical aspects. On a technical level, I am involved with the R&D, mechanical design, machine set-up, debugging and customer support. On the non-technical level, I am helping with the business development, procurement and office management & administration.

―日本でオフが取れる時は？
I usually spend my time off in Japan, especially week-ends, with my girl-friend. Thanks to her my Japanese has improved considerably. I like beer, so usually we find ourselves at the Kirin or Asahi brewery. (I think Asahi is one of the best beers in the world, especially "Asahi Super Dry".)

I also spend a lot of time reading, especially novels by Robert Ludlum, Fredrick Forsyth and Michael Crichton. I love Rock music and my favorite rock bands are Deep Purple, Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi, The Eagles and Def Leppard.

Since I play field hockey for a club in Singapore, I usually go jogging to maintain my fitness and stamina.
