electromechanical engineer
Electromechanical engineers design and develop equipment and machinery that use both electrical and mechanical technology. They make draughts and prepare documents detailing the material requisitions, the assembly process and other technical specifications. Electromechanical engineers also test and evaluate the prototypes. They oversee the manufacturing process.
Also called: electromechanical prototype developer, engineer of electro-mechanics, electromechanic engineer, engineer of electromechanics, engineering technician, electro-mechanical designer, electromechanical technology engineering adviser, electro-mechanical equipment engineer
