Tasks for “Electromechanical Engineering Technologists”

Identify energy-conserving production or fabrication methods, such as by bending metal rather than cutting and welding or casting metal.
Establish and maintain inventory, records, or documentation systems.
Fabricate or assemble mechanical, electrical, or electronic components or assemblies.
Produce electrical, electronic, or mechanical drawings or other related documents or graphics necessary for electromechanical design, using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Determine whether selected electromechanical components comply with environmental standards and regulations.
Analyze engineering designs of logic or digital circuitry, motor controls, instrumentation, or data acquisition for implementation into new or existing automated, servomechanical, or other electromechanical systems.
Consult with machinists or technicians to ensure that electromechanical equipment or systems meet design specifications.
Select and use laboratory, operational, or diagnostic techniques or test equipment to assess electromechanical circuits, equipment, processes, systems, or subsystems.
Collaborate with engineers to implement electromechanical designs in industrial or other settings.
Specify, coordinate, or conduct quality-control or quality-assurance programs and procedures.
Select electromechanical equipment, materials, components, or systems to meet functional specifications.
Translate electromechanical drawings into design specifications, applying principles of engineering, thermal or fluid sciences, mathematics, or statistics.
Conduct statistical studies to analyze or compare production costs for sustainable and nonsustainable designs.
Install or program computer hardware or machine or instrumentation software in microprocessor-based systems.
Modify, maintain, or repair electrical, electronic, or mechanical components, equipment, or systems to ensure proper functioning.
Test and analyze thermodynamic systems for renewable energy applications, such as solar or wind, to maximize energy production.
Develop or implement programs related to the environmental impact of engineering activities.
