What is the difference between Engineering Job vs Mechanical Technician?

AspectEngineering JobMechanical Technician
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in engineering or related fieldTechnical diploma or associate degree in mechanical technology
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, project sites, labsManufacturing plants, maintenance facilities
Employer & Industry UsageEngineering firms, construction, manufacturingFactories, maintenance companies, industrial plants
Common Search & ComparisonDesign, analysis, project managementEquipment repair, installation, troubleshooting

Engineering jobs typically involve designing, analyzing, and managing projects, requiring a bachelor's degree. Mechanical technicians focus on maintaining and repairing equipment, often with technical diplomas. Both roles are vital in manufacturing and industrial sectors but differ in responsibilities, education, and work environment.

Job description

Electrical Design Engineer
Department: Engineering (126) CT
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Chester, CT
Reporting To: Angelo Arcaria
Description
The Electrical Engineer is responsible for developing, integrating and supporting hardware and embedded firmware for new product development and sustaining engineering projects.
Duties and Responsibilities
  • General and specialized circuit and system design
  • Analysis of general and specialized components, circuits, signals and systems
  • Circuit simulation using SPICE modeling
  • Schematic capture using Altium Designer®
  • Hardware and system development and integration
  • Hardware troubleshooting and analysis
  • Embedded firmware development, primarily in embedded C/C++ programming languages, using various IDEs (IAR Embedded Workbench, Visual Studio Code, etc.)
  • Embedded firmware debugging and analysis using ICE, JTAG debuggers, data monitors, source level debugging and brute force methodology.
  • Calculate voltage, current and power requirements for components, circuits and systems.
  • Work closely with other engineering disciplines (mechanical, manufacturing, documentation, software) for the purpose of new and sustaining product development, troubleshooting and manufacturing.
  • Work closely with component engineers to select components, parts and materials.
  • Participate in both peer and management-led design reviews
  • Present design strategies and proposals to peers and management in both group and private settings.
  • This role involves a split of approximately 70% firmware and 30% hardware development.

Education and Experience
  • Must hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering from an ABET accredited college or university.
  • Must have minimum 4 years of direct product development experience.
  • Must have experience with circuit simulation using SPICE
  • Must be able to design products in a holistic manner and provide support through all phases of the engineering process.
  • Must be proficient in knowledge and design of common electronic circuits, including but not limited to: transistor and FET amplifiers, solid-state switches, biasing circuits, bridges, rectifiers, filters, digital and analog I/O circuits, current sources, and linear and switching regulators.
  • Must have good "hands-on" skills and be capable of using common hand tools and electronic test equipment (digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, etc.)
  • Must be familiar with common schematic capture software, integrated development environments (IDEs) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software.
  • Must be proficient in embedded firmware development (C/C++) and hardware design and integration.
  • Must be proficient in both AC and DC electrical theory.
  • Must be proficient in electromagnetic radiation and heat transfer theories and practices.
  • Must possess a complete understanding of the parameters associated with discrete and integrated electronic components, and of electromechanical devices and components.
  • Must be proficient in the electronic component selection and evaluation process.
  • Must possess a knowledge of common manufacturing processes, as related to component insertion (placement) on printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic assemblies and subassemblies and electro-mechanical assemblies and subassemblies.
  • Must possess excellent communications skills to collaborate with engineers spanning a variety of disciplines
  • Must be able to communicate effectively and professionally to manufacturer representatives on the phone, in person, or by other electronic means and media.
  • Must be personable and able to work well as part of a passionate, dedicated team in order to represent the core family values of Whelen Engineering while interacting with fellow employees, customers, and vendors necessary to get product design to the marketplace.

Desirable Qualifications
  • Familiar with CAN, USB, Ethernet and other common communication protocols.
  • Familiar with RTOS system implementation (ie. FreeRTOS, Zephyr, embOS)
  • Familiar with embedded Linux development.
  • Familiar with wireless communication schemes such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth and other common protocols.
  • Familiar with Agile methodology for project management
  • Experience with Atlassian development and collaboration tools, such as Jira, Confluence, BigPicture etc.
  • Experience with Git Source Control.

All Employees Shall
Must be able to communicate effectively with co-workers, supervisors, and third parties. This ability to communicate requires the employee to be conversant in English as the majority of our workforce and the third parties that we encounter only speak English.
The incumbent is responsible for complying with the policies in Whelen's "Employee Handbook."
