Mechanical jobs include designing, developing, and maintaining machinery. Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of physics, math, and computer technology to create and test machines. Mechanical engineering technicians maintain the equipment that mechanical engineers design.
Mechanical engineer responsibilities
- Design: Create systems and components for machinery, such as air conditioning, ventilation, and transportation
- Develop: Conduct experiments, analyze data, and interpret results to improve products
- Test: Use computer technology to simulate how machines will work and generate specifications for parts
- Install: Install and operate machinery
- Integrate: Integrate sensors, controllers, and machinery
