Together We Engineer: Celebrating Women in Engineering Across the CIN Network
Each year, International Women in Engineering Day recognises the women shaping the world through science, design and collaboration. The 2025 theme — Together We Engineer — speaks directly to the spirit of the Connectivity Innovation Network: a place where ideas and expertise come together across disciplines and sectors to tackle practical, real-world challenges.
To mark the day, CIN is proud to spotlight three women contributing to Australia’s connectivity future — through leadership, field engineering and advanced research.
Sneha Singh
Senior Solutions Manager – BAI Communications. Founder – Engineer to Leader
With over 14 years of global experience in the telecom industry, Sneha Singh has worked across India, the Middle East and Australia — often as the only woman at the decision-making table. Today, she’s helping others rise.
“As someone who has often been the only woman at tables where critical engineering decisions are made, I’ve made it my purpose to create pathways for other women engineers to confidently claim their seat at these tables.”
Her work builds leadership capability, long-term support networks and greater visibility for women in engineering across sectors.

Wei Mu
Smart Antenna Engineer, Zetifi
Wei Mu’s journey began in China, where she entered the highly specialised field of microwave and electromagnetic engineering — one of just 20 women in a cohort of 120. Today, she leads the design and deployment of advanced antenna systems at Zetifi, applying cutting-edge RF technology to solve complex connectivity challenges.
“It wasn’t just me. It was a team effort. No one complained. Everyone kept going until we fixed it.”
From high-efficiency mobile platforms to UHF-cellular integrations, Wei’s work reflects deep technical expertise, a practical mindset, and a drive for scalable, high-performance RF solutions. Her leadership is marked by quiet confidence, persistence, and the ability to turn complexity into clarity.
Wei Mu engineers practical antenna solutions that bring reliable connectivity to rural and remote communities.
Dr Lizhao Song
Senior Research Fellow, University of Technology Sydney
Advanced Antenna Systems – LAWIFI Project
As part of CIN’s LAWIFI team, Dr Lizhao Song designed high-gain multibeam antennas to deliver wireless connectivity in remote and emergency environments. Her work bridges deep research in electromagnetics with practical system deployment.
“The most rewarding part was seeing theoretical design translate into real-world impact. Our collaboration across antenna design, systems engineering and field trials was key.”
From satellite beamforming to resilient wireless infrastructure, Dr Song’s research continues to shape the next generation of smart connectivity systems.
Dr Lizhao Song advances real-world wireless innovation through antenna design and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Our Commitment
At CIN, we believe that connectivity innovation is only possible when diverse voices and experiences are part of the process. On INWED — and every day — we remain committed to building inclusive teams, supporting emerging talent, and recognising and supporting the leadership of women across the engineering sector.
