Career options you can try after Mechanical engineering

Mechanical Engineering is all about machines, their study, designing, and development, operated either by automation or power-driven or by manual interference. It additionally includes the study of diverse mechanical procedures and theories. If you are studying mechanical engineering or planning to choose it after your 10+2, you must know the future career opportunities to make a successful career. In the following part of the article, we will suggest some career options to aid you to choose the right career path for yourself.

1. Aerospace Engineer - Aerospace engineering is a prospective career option for mechanical engineering students. The primary responsibility of aerospace engineers includes designing
   • Aircrafts
   • Missiles
   • Weapon systems
   • Spacecraft
   
   

   In addition, aerospace engineers are also responsible for devising new technologies for aviation and other associated industry. If you are going to pursue this career opportunity, you will be able to design, assemble and test aerospace products and aircrafts

2. Automotive Engineer -The automobile industry can provide endless opportunities to mechanical engineers, as they can use their formal education knowledge to design manufacture, and test automobiles and their parts. As an automobile engineer, you will be responsible for end to end fabrication of an automobile right from its design ideation to production.

3. CAD Technician - ‘Draughtsman’ is a well-known term in the construction, manufacturing, and engineering industries. A draughtsman is responsible for preparing technical plans and drawings, though earlier it was done manually, all the designing activities are done with the help of CAD software, and hence draughtsman is now synonymously known as CAD technician. Mechanical Engineers have a good career scope as CAD technicians.

4. Consultants in Construction Sites - Construction sites no doubt require a civil engineer, there is a requirement of mechanical engineers as well. Every construction sites have heavy machines and vehicles required in various construction procedures. A mechanical engineer hence is required in construction sites for the maintenance of those heavy pieces of machinery.

5. Control and Instrumentation Engineer- Also known as C&I engineers, they are responsible for manufacturing, installation, management, and maintenance of types of equipment that are used for supervising the engineering systems, heavy machines, and mechanical processes. The job responsibility of C&I engineers is to look after that machines and operating processes are working effectively, efficiently, and safely.

6. Maintenance Engineer - Mechanical engineers in this job role will be responsible for looking after the prevention and maintenance of heavy types of machinery in plants and manufacturing units. They will be responsible for supervising any machinery break down, looking after if the machines are working properly and if they need any repairs. They are also responsible for procuring the manpower and raw materials required for the healthy operation of the machines.

7. Nuclear Engineer - As the job title suggests, a nuclear engineer is responsible for ideating, designing, and manufacturing machines and technology that can reap the benefits of nuclear energy and radiation.

8. Medical Equipment Engineer - Mechanical Engineers willing to make a career in the field of bio-medical will be responsible for designing machines and tool that makes surgeries and medical treatments minimally invasive.

9. Robotics and Automation Engineer - Last but not least, this is the most futuristic career opportunity for mechanical engineers. From building futuristic automated intelligent machines to human look-alike robots, robotics and automation engineers will have huge career opportunities in the coming years.
