An electromechanical engineer is responsible for designing and building a variety of devices that blend electrical and mechanical components, from computers and soda bottling machines to missile guidance systems and equipment used for gas systems. Job duties include working with other engineers and clients to determine the scope of projects and then designing and building systems that fit customer needs. Qualifications include a degree in electrical engineering, technology, mathematics, or another engineering science. Employers typically prefer candidates to have a few years of experience working with relevant design software to create electrical and mechanical systems. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and teamwork skills are also important to develop for this career.
