Finance is math intensive. Your engineering background will help. Your MBA background is not that relevant for your research, but it is for your teaching.
Reading finance papers is a good idea to give you some notions of what you might like to do, though I wouldn't necessarily key in too much on a specific research problem. Doing what you like is of course important, but getting a grip on why a problem is important in the context of existing research is what nearly everyone does in their first years in the Ph.D.
