I enjoy that I can improve a manufacturing process and be hands on at certain times (machinery needs fixing or training operator). I get to use CAD to design fixtures and tooling for the parts I make. My advice is to make sure you vibe well with the culture of the company.

RPM being specific to material and cut speed... Nevermind RPM is fine for proof of concept. That was a lot of words.

Job is different everywhere you work but this is a good general video. Example is if you work at John Deere you will never really do any engineering and will be tunnel-visioned and not learn and grow and deal with the frustration of union workers. If you work for a small company you can be exposed to numerous manufacturing processes like machining, cnc programming, plastic injection molding, electronics, chemical processing, etc. If you work at Honda you might be on a team of 5 manufacturing engineers and only be allowed to work on 2 crankshafts......SO EXCITING!!!! All pay roughly the same so if you want to be a turd or if you want to grow and be the best engineer you can be I have given you enough guidance in this post.

If by fresh, you mean new to manufacturing, it can be. Some companies are looking for entry-level engineers. However, they will be looking for a technical degree or some type of background in manufacturing. If you don't have any manufacturing experience, consider being a manufacturing technician or maintenance worker to get into it. It is best to have some understanding of manufacturing equipment and techniques before becoming a manufacturing engineer.

I graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, so in a sense, it is not different from a job done by a mechanical engineer. However, most job postings titled "mechanical engineer" will be on the design side of the fence instead of the manufacturing side. Thus, a design based mechanical engineer will spend their day creating drawings and models on their computer to design a product, as opposed to out on the shop floor helping the design become reality.

@jobtalk97935 жыл бұрын
I hope your interview went well! Certainly taking the step to apply and get the job is the biggest one you can make to help yourself be successful. To me, the biggest aids to success as a manufacturing engineer are to form good relationships with the people operating the equipment, and to get multiple ideas for vetting before picking one for moving forward. By forming good relationships with the people operating the equipment, you'll get the best insights quickly for what needs to change. By being careful to vet multiple ideas before picking one, you'll be able to avoid prejudices that will lead you to a bad decision. The technical knowledge you'll need is company-specific. Once you figure out what you don't know, try to learn more from people more senior, and from places outside your company. Good luck!!

@jobtalk97935 жыл бұрын
The difference between Engineering Technology and plain Engineering degrees is usually that the Engineering Technology degree is less theoretical and more applied. In other words, an Engineering Technology degree is more likely to teach about GD&T and tooling, while a plain Engineering degree is more likely to focus on theoretical equations behind the technology. Thus, the MET degree can certainly apply for Manufacturing Engineering. I personally think it provides a stronger background for working as a Manufacturing Engineer than a theoretical degree. Manufacturing Engineering salary can range from $60K to $80K starting, typically, in America. The biggest thing for landing a job is selling yourself, really. You can land a job with most engineering degrees if you can convince the hiring staff that you are worth their investment. Good luck!
