As engineers, we often focus on developing technical skills and expertise. While these skills are crucial, they aren't the only ones important in our careers. Communication skills are also vital, especially in today's business landscape, where engineers often interact with customers, partners, and stakeholders. Even if you're not currently in a front-facing role, working on your communication skills is essential to prepare you for the opportunity. Good communication skills can help you: ✅ Explain complex technical concepts to a non-technical audience. ✅ Build stronger relationships with customers and partners. ✅ Work effectively with cross-functional teams. ✅ Lead projects and mentor junior engineers. ✅ Represent your company and your team professionally. As an engineer, improving your communication skills can positively impact your career. It can increase your visibility, help you advance your job, and enable you to make a more significant impact within your organization. So, pay attention to the importance of working on your communication skills! Improve your speaking, writing, and interpersonal skills, and you'll be well-equipped to succeed in your role and beyond.

We must embrace rejections as they are a part and parcel of our life. Coming from a mechanical engineering background, I was desperately yearning for a placement opportunity in an OEM core company during the start of my corporate career. I was almost there and even experienced the thrill of having selected into one for a day until the results were re-released the next day. Out of 300 candidates, I was fortunate to be among final initially selected 7 candidates. Unfortunately, company had to reverse their decision and select only 1 candidate and offered her a job. All that enthusiasm faded away in a day. Of course, there were my friends backing up to come out of that situation and start focusing on upcoming companies. It was really hard at that pre-mature phase to absorb rejections especially when you had conveyed your selection to your closer ones. But still, time heals everything and once again I focused on my placements and got selected into a Tier 1 core company. But this time, I was keeping my expectations low and waited for some time after announcement of results to share it with others. But, the excitement was not same as the earlier one as this was not an OEM. But still, I went ahead to explore the opportunity I was blessed with. To be frank, 6 years down the line, I realize that getting into a Tier 1 company during the initial phase of my career had given me immense learnings both in technical aspects as well as people management. Key benefits of getting into a Tier 1 at the start include better understanding of smaller circle of operations, broader exposure in any given domain, non robust process allow ground level learning which are not affordable when you directly get into an OEM. It helped me to get the basics set so that I can execute tasks swiftly and I did realize this explicitly when I switched over to OEM during the course of my career. On the other end, getting into OEM's at the start has other benefits like brand value, structured processes etc., Now, the point of discussion is not about OEM or Tier 1 but to accept with what you are blessed with and to take up the challenge forward with believing in self rather comparing yourself with others. #learnings #GET #corporateculture

Since 2023, Johnson Electric has rolled out the "Global Exchange Program" that provides employees with a unique opportunity to work in our JE overseas sites and participate in global projects, offering employees equal opportunities for growth and self-realization, achieving the goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Below is the sharing of Gary Li, our Lead Engineer from China about his experience working in Switzerland via the program. In his own words: “I find the six-month work experience at Johnson Electric in Switzerland, Murten amazing! This special chapter of my career journey has been eye-opening and memorable, inspiring me to go beyond my comfort zone.” Effective Communication During my time working in Murten, the colleagues I interacted with were very proactive in expressing their technical positions in their respective fields. Their views were supported by objective data. Efficient Data Processing The design engineers at Johnson Electric Murten are good at digital analysis of test results using spreadsheets for automatic data processing. Timely evaluation results will be analyzed using PowerBI upon receiving laboratory test results. Excellent Production Line Before going to Johnson Electric Switzerland, I visited the Jiangmen factory to understand more about the factory’s production and technology development prior to seeing the facilities in Murten. JE Multan has different approaches in both processes and designs to ensure a high standard of product quality. Engineering Design Capability The engineering design capabilities including FEA, CAD, noise analysis, structural design, and material analysis in China are now of similar standard as in Switzerland. While my expertise is in automotive components, and very often the latest news about the development standards comes from Europe, therefore this explains why sometimes updates about automotive standards will be received by teams in Murten more timely. I am most thankful to the company for giving me the opportunities, and allowing me to step back and reflect on myself. With the support of my family, leaders, and the group, I shall continue to learn and improve. Plato’s three questions about life inspired me - to strive to become the cornerstone of my company. The future is promising. #JE #JohnsonElectric #GlobalExchange #JEEngineer #DEandI #CulturalExchange #ProfessionalGrowth
