Mechanical engineers are commonly engaged in the following activities :
- Participate in concept generation and problem solving in brainstorming sessions with talented and experienced innovators.
- Support technical writing and proposal development by clearly conveying engineering approaches, test plans, and innovative solutions to technical challenges.
- Design and develop prototypes and test stands to support emerging technologies utilizing state-of-the-art hardware components and systems.
- Test and troubleshoot these prototypes and monitor outcomes with a critical eye for improvement
- Analyze empirical data to determine trends in order to make design recommendations.
- Formulate plans and guide the development and implementation of engineering solutions including design, procurement, testing, deployment and documentation.
- Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to transition early-stage research concepts into engineered systems and products.
Engineers advance throughout their careers by growing in a flexible combination of value-added areas as suits their strengths and interests :
Developing proficiency in their discipline through technical engineering workBuilding depth of expertise in technology areas and contributing to proposal writing to obtain funding in those areasStrategic guidance of technical teams through project leadership rolesGrowing and mentoring other engineering personnel in their careers through supervising rolesQualifications
Basic qualifications include Master of Engineering or Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering disciplines, or bachelor's degree with 2-6 years of relevant work experience, as well as the following demonstrated strengths :
