Electrical Engineers
Electrical engineers are highly analytical and creative problem solvers. Electrical engineers, or electrical designers, have invaluable electrical design knowledge and experience that make their profession critical to ensuring electronic systems always remain operational.
In this career, electrical engineers apply the complex physics and math of electronics, electricity, and electromagnetism to conduct root cause analyses, process information and address, or prevent, issues in different sized electrical systems. They work along the entire spectrum of product and system development, from idea to inception, testing and manufacturing, and release and maintenance.
Electronics design engineers are innovators at heart who can design, develop, and test electrical equipment and devices for a range of industries, such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, power generation from traditional and renewable energy sources, robotics, telecommunications, aviation, consulting, and beyond.
In the renewable energy sector, electrical engineers may be responsible for ensuring generators or the smart grids keep functioning. In the transportation sector, electrical engineers could be responsible for managing the signals and lighting to support safe traffic flow. There is no shortage of possibilities for a skilled and motivated electrical engineer!
