What does a Mechanical Engineer do?

Designs, analyses, manufactures and maintains mechanical systems such as machines, equipment, HVAC and thermal systems. Works with design, production, quality, procurement and project teams in manufacturing, EPC and engineering services firms.

A typical day: Design-side engineers spend the morning on CAD models and drawings and the afternoon in reviews with production or the customer. Plant-side engineers start with shop-floor issues, then work on fixtures, process changes or vendor parts. Both write reports, update BOMs and resolve quality concerns.

How people get in: B.E./B.Tech or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering; GATE for PSU roles and M.Tech for design/CAE specialisation.
