Design the machines, products, and systems that move the world
Mechanical engineers design, analyze, develop, and test mechanical systems and thermal devices — from engines and HVAC systems to robotics, medical devices, and consumer products. They use CAD, simulation, and hands-on prototyping to bring ideas to life.
You start the morning reviewing a SolidWorks assembly for a new product, run an FEA simulation to check stress on a bracket, meet with manufacturing about a design for producibility, visit the test lab to watch a prototype run, and document results for the next iteration.
