Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design and application of equipment, devices and system which use electricity, electronics and electromagnetism.
Electrical Engineers design, develop, test and manage the manufacturing of electrical equipment, from electric motors and navigation systems to power generation equipment and the electrical components of vehicles and personal devices.
▶ Test Engineer
A Test Engineer is responsible for conducting test on electrical system. test engineers fix the problems they find or offer guidance in implementing solutions.
▶ Design Engineer
A Design Enginner uses computer aided system (CAD) software to develop system and new products. they create designs according to provided specifications, test their design, document their process and ask for feedback on the design.
▶ Project Engineer
A Project Engineer oversees and manages engineering projects. they adhere to a budget and timeline and may need to hire additional staff, including contract workers, to make sure they can ensure project completion following certain specifications.
▶ Controls Engineer
A controls Engineer is responsible for developing equipment that is efficient in creating products. they also plan maintenance and implement processes that reveal problems with their system.
▶ Communications Enginner
A Communication Engineer is responsible for designing and developing communication system like satellites and fiber optics. they may also assist with installing the equipment to make sure it’s functioning properly and that the communication the device or equipment receives and transmits is high quality.
▶ Systems Engineer
A System Engineer is responsible for making sure certain systems they are in charge of are fully functional and optimized. they may install new software and electronics, monitor its usage and update systems as needed.
▶ Aeronautical Engineer
An Aeronautical Engineer constructs systems for aircrafts and associated systems like satellites. they may design mechanical, communications, electrical or enviromental system.
