I am always looking for new opportunities and experiences – it’s part of how I think. As a Mechanical Engineer at SIGMADESIGN, I work on a lot of different project types. I like the variety. When I noticed that the firm was hiring a Mechanical Engineer for our Singapore Office, I wondered if this might be something I could do, …
By Paul Wellner and Andrea Cameron When Paul and I first sat down to write this story, I was already impressed with the long list of accomplishments that traverse his life.

by Henry Hohn At the beginning of a new year, many of you may think about new skills that you’d like to learn. Some will start a new exercise program, some will learn a new language and some will try a new musical instrument. For me, music isn’t something new – I’ve been playing piano for over 40 years, ever since …
SIGMADESIGN founder and Senior Mechanical Engineer John Barker has restored a few airplanes in the past including a 1976 Cessna 172, a 1965 Citabria, and a 1965 Cessna 182.

by Will Pickering | SIGMADESIGN Electronics Technician I have always liked trains, but instead of playing with models, I jumped straight to the real steam engines. There were tracks across the river from my parents’ house growing up. My dad knew one of the crew members and we always talked about getting a ride; but before we could, that railroad …
泰国是东南亚的一个佛教国家。自从2006年第一次去泰国，我就喜欢上了这个国家。不仅是因为那里优美的风景，价廉的美食， 值得称道的是那里的人民的和气和谦逊有礼。 当陌生人相遇，一句双手合十立于胸前的 “ Sawadee Krup / Ka” ， 让人如沐春风，即时便可体会到泰国人的 有礼而好客。你也能够从他们谦卑的笑容里感觉到真诚而毫无做作。 在我两次的泰国之旅后，还始终觉得对这个国家兴趣未减，游兴未尽。很高兴现在有机会能够被公司经常派往泰国工作。当然工作不同于旅游，我也深深地体会到这其中的差异. 对我来说，工作最大的挑战来自于语言，英文是我的弱项，这影响了我的交流技巧（Communication Skill）。今后我将努力的加强，以便能够给我们客户更好的服务。 由于在加入Sigma 以前的很多年里我一直在做设备维修和维护，再加上一年半多的时间里对我们各种Tools 日臻熟悉，所以我对于Tools 维护和维修还是极具信心。一直以来我的工作态度也是尽自己的最大努力达到顾客的满意，通过顾客的Feedback不断地改进自己各方面的缺陷，我是一个愿意接受挑战和改变的人。也希望自己在有生之年能够不断地进步。 毫无疑问，在泰国工作，对于我来说是快乐的，我很Enjoy 我的工作。当然, 有时候也会感觉到疲惫，尤其是Build Support，每天近4 小时的长途跋涉让人 感觉很路途很漫长。所以在工作之余的周末，我喜欢到处走走，即可以体会泰国的文化，也可以放松心情，洗去身心的疲惫。 寺庙是泰国人常去的地方. 我虽然是一个无神论者，但我尊重每个人的信仰。在那里我看到了泰国人对宗教的虔诚，我想宗教（佛教）也许正是多数泰国人内心平静，待人之诚，无欲无求的根源。 来到泰国一定要享受这里的沙滩和阳光。上次的Build Support， 一个阳光灿烂的Sunday 我来到了华欣的海滩，度过了一个愉快的周末，很是享受了这里的日光浴。所以亲爱的同事们，如果下次，你看到我 如果变得很黑， 可请不要感到惊奇。那个下午我写了一首华语诗或许可以表达我当时的心境。 周末偷闲 周末沙滩躺椅上， 面朝大海晒太阳。 春天虽然没来到， 却是心花满胸膛。 亲爱的同事们，真心希望你们能够来亚洲，来新加坡，来泰国，来中国走走，体会一下我们这个美好世界不同的风景和文化。祝愿我们这个世界能够能够永远和平 美好。 English: Ever since my first visit in 2006, I have developed a strong emotional connection with Thailand. Beautiful sceneries, delicious (yet …
In many ways, Gin Goh is a typical Singaporean: bilingual, well-traveled and of Malaysian descent. She lives with her family, which is common for unmarried young people in Singapore. She has two brothers who also live in Singapore, plus two terrapins (turtles) for pets. Gin gets around her bustling city via its comprehensive system of public transportation and more often …
