If you want to work in mechanical engineering, you can choose between a wide range of tasks such as planning, design, production, manufacturing and assembly. In all companies in the mechanical, apparatus and plant engineering sector, there are technicians who design and calculate new products or check existing products for potential improvements and make adjustments. Some of their tasks require manual dexterity and hands-on skills. Many other tasks are carried out with the help of computer programs such as CAD and simulation tools. Accordingly, HF mechanical engineering technicians often sit at a computer. Other possible areas of employment include the assembly, programming and repair of machines and systems as well as the instruction of operating personnel. They can also be deployed as technical support for sales, distribution or technical customer service.
