Mechanical Engineering Technicians use the principles of mechanical engineering to change, test, or calibrate machinery and equipment in order to support a team of engineers and scientists. Mechanical Engineering Technician apprentices may make design sketches, record and analyze data, make calculations and estimates, and report their findings.
Ideal Candidate
As a child you begged your parents to attend robotics or video game programming camp.
During science labs, your team trusts you to measure the materials accurately.
As a kid you loved making things as well as taking them apart. Maybe you loved putting together lego kits, disassembling electronic devices to see what was inside, or playing Minecraft.
You are generally curious about the mechanics of how things are built, everything from a skyscraper to your dishwasher.
