Where a mechatronics engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a mechatronics engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Mechatronics engineers design and develop intelligent systems, such as robotic devices, smart home appliances, and aeroplanes, through combining technologies from mechanical, electronic, computer, and control engineering. They create blueprints or design documents for parts, assemblies or finished products using software programs, and also oversee and manage projects.

Also known as electromechanical engineer, robotics engineer, specialist mechatronic engineer, cybernetics engineer, engineer in mechatronics, engineer of mechatronics, advanced mechatronics engineer, mechatronic engineering specialist, mechanical systems engineer, mechatronics systems designer.
