Different Engineer Jobs

Different engineering industries

Engineers can also work in different industries. Most industries need engineers from a range of different disciplines for the different knowledge and skills that they bring.

To give a very simplified example, in rail engineering different engineers might be responsible for the following areas:

• mechanical engineers – trains
• electrical engineers – power distribution
• electronic engineers – signalling systems
• civil engineers – tracks, bridges and stations.

Different levels of engineer

Some engineers have NVQs; others have masters degrees or PhDs. You can join the industry at any level, and often have the chance to study for further qualifications once you’re in. Generally speaking the more senior you become the more opportunity you will have to take on management responsibilities and to be involved in finding novel ways of doing things.

A tech support engineer may be called a service desk engineer, product support engineer, IT analyst, System Engineer, Application Support Engineer etc.

Software engineer is a generic name for all those who are in software development field . Again it depends on how companies call their software engineers . One company might have a role name Application Developer and other companies may have the role name as a software developer.

Quality Assurance Engineer in IT industry normally do testing work but in case of product-based companies in core mechanical or electrical or electronic product based organization, the work involves checking whether the product is giving the expected outputs. Test engineer job is also more or less the same.
