Mechanical Engineer by degree. Project/Manufacturing Engineer by trade. I work for a jet engine designer/manufacturer, figuring out how to machine, fabricate, bond, and assemble the items they design. I also work on overhaul and repair processes for parts that have reached a service interval, worn out, or been damaged in the field.

[OneSelfLost]

Quite the variety!

I am in industrial automation and instrumentation. I repair, calibrate, and commission measurement equipment and integrate it into PLC/DSC systems. I used to design and build CNC machines, and would like to get back into that. Board level electronics are definitely my favourite though, no money in it though.

[UncleStasiu]

PHP and node.js programmer. Front-end stuff is my area of expertise, but back-end pays better so that's where I'm at. Would love to someday jump back into the bike industry though.

Mechanical Engineer, more often than not I'm the guy that gets to do the fun calculations and analysis at work.

[going_home]

I take people's money for a living. I have a dual job title. I will leave it at that...

That must really take a toll on you !

Wow

[vintage]

I run the wire cutting department in a shopping cart factory. I also order raw material, do inventory control, drive forklift, and whatever else they think I need to do at that particular time.

i'm also the only one in the plant that is willing to be negative about a great many things including working 84 hours a week just to try to fill the order of ONE customer especially when management spends all their time griping about overtime and low profit margins then they do the above and loose most of their profits on the order.

in case you havn't picked up on it I have something of a bad attitude about the place.

[alpha_q_up23]

i currently work in a Machine shop, started a year and half ago as a spare hands/shop grunt, now I'm gun drilling, trepanning, running knee mills, turn lathes, and some older CNC machines along with my duties as shop hands when needed
