Electromechanical Engineers bring the principles of electrical and mechanical engineering to the workplace. All kinds
of products, from space satellites to computer monitors, are both electrical and mechanical in nature;
electromechanical engineers conceptualize and build machines that use both technologies. As an Electro-Mechanical
Engineer, they work to create new products. In some cases, people have wild ideas for new gadgets, and they have
to figure out how to build the machine to fit the dream. Electro-Mechanical Engineers use computers to design the
product, and build small models to make sure it will actually work in real life. They also test the product and make
adjustments to your design as needed.
Electromechanical Engineer prepare guidelines and procedures to develop company products as per specifications
and schedules using safest and cost effective processes. They Research and evaluate data for customer design
proposal, parameters and manuals to identify design and application feasibility. These engineers develop and
maintain relations with other departments for optimum product development focusing toward product
standardization and Direct and coordinate installation of fabrication activities to ensure systems and products
comply with electro-mechanical engineering design along with customer specifications. They also Review and
approve electro-mechanical engineering designs before manufacture to ensure design review conformance and
repetitive errors elimination. Additionally, they need to create reports detailing how much the product will cost to
make, as well as how much it’s likely to cost in a store. They need to explain your product to the owners of the idea,
and demonstrate how they’ve improved upon the original concept.
The majority of Electromechanical Engineering professionals are engineering technicians. These professionals design,
test and maintain automated, unmanned equipment. This type of equipment can include production line machinery
in manufacturing facilities, oil rigs or even unmanned aircraft and submarines. Regular duties of electromechanical
engineering technicians include reading blueprints and other design documents to aid in mechanical assembly;
designing, testing and manufacturing electronically controlled mechanical systems; fabricating metal housings,
fittings and various other metal machine parts, calibrating hydraulic systems and mounting electronic parts.
Additionally, electromechanical engineering professionals are responsible for monitoring, maintaining,
troubleshooting and repairing manufacturing parts and systems.
Electromechanical Engineers work mostly in offices, but may also undertake practical work in laboratories,
workshops or on-site at power generation facilities or construction projects. Conditions may be dangerous,
especially if live electrical equipment is being used. They usually work regular hours, but may be required to work
longer hours at particular times.
