halo sifu here...any lobang for job vacancy in semiconductor field for engineer role?really hope to step in sg...

I am someone from semiconductor, to IT, back to semicon and lastly revert back to IT...

Well, from what I heard its kinda hard to secure executive level positions (engineer onwards) in manufacturing environment at SG. If you are a design / RnD, thats a different story...

Usually they just hire Malaysian for non exec / technical level (technician). Engineers were mainly from Philippines or PRC...

Are you experienced or fresh? There are plenty positions to be filled, in fact many LINKEDIN head hunters are looking for semiconductor engineers. If you are fresh, wondering why so keen to join semiconductor? Most of your seniors are trying to get out of it  sweat.gif

I manage to get out from it. Feel sooo lucky...

the good thing about Sg compares to Marehsia is you can get a pretty good deal on IT stuff at the shop in your neighbourhood mall. Shops like Challenger, Courts & Harvey Norman.

Noted on that. thanks...

I'm a registered LFC Fan (did I need to mention this? oh why). But somehow I couldn't find where to watch football nearby my house (near tanah Merat MRT).

Futsal? No thanks. I've suffered injuries on my both knees (meniscus tear) due to my active lifestyle back then. I'm still trying to have a healthy lifestyle by jogging or chase walking. Still, it hurts pretty bad...

There will be a up-coming BBQ session for all Malaysian's kulis currently working in Sg. It will be held on 16th Jan 2016 Saturday evening at Pasir Ris.

Non-refundable s$25/pax will be collected upfront, on first-cum-first-serve basis, we can only accommodate another 5 ppl max as we already have 20+ confirmed regulars.

Wow. I wanted to join. But I'm working that day and my shift ends at 7.30pm. LoL

Halal BBQ?

Hi,

Is there any resources for computer engineering? More on computer vision or machine learning.

No news from jobstreet too.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Are you a fresh grad for experienced professional?

I'm also from Computer Engineering. But somehow I've left the field and join IT field. Now, I just do those system design (embedded C, VHDL, Image processing) as a part time hobby only...

Huh? computer engineering is not IT field? what kind of IT field you are in now?

Computer Engineering is a mash up between Computer Science / IT and Electronic Engineering.

Things that I learn in more to Low level programming. Digital Design (VHDL & Verilog), Embedded Systems, Digital signal Processing, Operating System and a little bit of Object oriented programming and network programming...

Lets say, its best of both worlds...

Is it possible for an engineering graduate with 1~2 years of experience to land a job in Singapore banking field?

I've tried to search for electronics engineering jobs in JobStreet and Monster for about a month to two but so far no news yet. I might try to look for some banking jobs if there's the possibility.

Does banking in Singapore more favour finance background graduates? I'm having a second class mechatronics engineering B.E degree with some working experience in a MNC company for test engineering field and M&E industry for management experience.

Personally I'm quite fond with programming logic, statistics and data analysis although I would still prefer to look for programming related occupation but banking seems to be pretty good for career growth.

Edit: Most of my skills in computing are not usual computer programming (HTML, PHP, Java etc.), instead my knowledge is in MATLAB, LabView, C++, VB etc. Might have some variance as compared to software engineering as my programming is usually used to control machine to perform certain action rather than GUI.
*
Sounds like usual for me. But I ain't good in Matlab/Psilab.

Bro, it takes tonnes of effort clicking "Apply Now" at JS or Monster to arrive here. Last time, I've been spamming the button, but didn't manage to secure any position in SG. I consider myself lucky those headhunter found my profile and now I am in SG...

QUOTE(jessilyn2015 @ Jan 4 2016, 03:13 PM)
Hmmm...considered fresh grad...just finished postgrad studies.
I am mix of EE and computer engineering.

Any company you recommend? Prefer r&d. Dont really wan to get into IT. Not so good in programming.

Easy to get job in Singapore for this field?

How about you go to Continental or Intel Malaysia first. Some of my friends working there come SG for training and project handling/handover purposes. Now, he has lots of acquaintance here. Can jump if he wanted to...
