As a guy whose been an ME for 10 years, always take your lunch. Things can wait. Work life balance is it. You may not think it now but once you get older, you’ll realize it’s just as important as pay
I'm surprised by how accurate this is. Here I was thinking that our manufacturing department is just more susceptible to needing support. Thanks for sharing! I love the illustrations.
I just started working as a Manufacturing Engineer, and this video was awesome! I deal with the same struggles that you talk about here, and I'm still trying to figure out how to handle them. It would be awesome to see more content relating to how you deal with the challenges you experience as an ME.
I studied english and the first reason to watch this video it was bc of i wanted to practice some listening, tho im currently studying manufacturing engineering and i rlly loved this video, it really gave me a concept of what it would be my work in the future, thanks for sharing and lovely greets from Mexico.
This is spot on. I have one morning meeting with my manager though. My work does not have a lot of trained technicians so I have to be help out on the floor a lot
This is great! Very informative. I just landed a job at maintenance in manufacturing company. I graduated as electronics engr and thinking about my future in this. Im thinking it might lead to automation or this, manufacturing engr.
This is really similar to my working day. The only difference is that i never get to finish at 5 p.m, more like 6.30 with half an hour break for lunch. Nicely done from a fellow M.E. in Italy.
Wow, pretty accurate. I really like how you breakdown for designing phases. Mine is just 3; 1) concept design phase, 2) design review phase, 3) production phase. On top of what you mentioned, I have to do quotes for customers. The most difficult part is prioritizing. And deferring projects to somebody else.
Great video. I personally would have said something like a big machine can take a more significant cut depth, reducing roughing time decreasing part turnover, and decreasing machine time, reducing cost per part. leading to higher production, which decreases project time till completion, and improves customer relations, which secures supply chain dependencies, which leads to more contracts. RPM being specific to material and cut speed... Nevermind RPM is fine for proof of concept. That was a lot of words.
I really like your video about daily routine of manufacturing engineer with challenges, i am Mechanical engineer and now i am working as Product design and Development Engineer so i have to work at each stage of product to come the product in reality.After design i have to do some official things, then my role comes at manufacturing stage, I have to go on field to know the status of project have to explain about requirement of project and many more as you know. so how you look at my working profile, sometimes i have to finding new party and do work from them so i also learn new manufacturing process which going to help me. Just to know what things i have to do extra to become expert in this cycle.
@@mindhunter8772 the nature of a “manufacturing” engineer is to work where manufacturing occurs. But they can also work in labs, warehouses. Some, like automation engineers can work in offices and travel to a customers site to implement equipment/software. Corporate MEs can work remotely and travel to sites as needed.
Great video. I just started as a manufacturing engineer last week and wasn’t really sure how to approach my job in a structured way. Definitely gave me some insight how to do my job better for next week. Thanks
@@terriblelotteryYes Manuf engr is pretty rewarding but also stressful(..at least at my company). I come from a background of designing/fabricating automotive components/shop machines as a hobby so a lot of processing knowledge transfers over well. I enjoy that I can improve a manufacturing process and be hands on at certain times (machinery needs fixing or training operator). I get to use CAD to design fixtures and tooling for the parts I make. My advice is to make sure you vibe well with the culture of the company.
Thank you. It’s been awhile since I was in an mechanical/Manufacturing engineering position. This could help me with my up coming Manufacturing engineering interview. I’m a little out of practice since I’ve been in field work the past 5 years.
Job is different everywhere you work but this is a good general video. Example is if you work at John Deere you will never really do any engineering and will be tunnel-visioned and not learn and grow and deal with the frustration of union workers. If you work for a small company you can be exposed to numerous manufacturing processes like machining, cnc programming, plastic injection molding, electronics, chemical processing, etc. If you work at Honda you might be on a team of 5 manufacturing engineers and only be allowed to work on 2 crankshafts......SO EXCITING!!!! All pay roughly the same so if you want to be a turd or if you want to grow and be the best engineer you can be I have given you enough guidance in this post.
I am going to start this role from next month. I have been graduated 2 years ago and been only doing shop floor work and applying jobs. Until finally i get Production engineer role. Since, i have not done anything in upper level. I dont know what's my life going to be.. i believe the video tell me my future. I hope i can land on their expectations. I hope they provide me some training as well
Hello all, I'm reaching my last year in college and I have taken a liking to manufacturing engineering recently. Does any one have some tips on how I can improve my chances of landing a position other than internships?
Thank you for your comment! Sorry for my late response. I enjoyed manufacturing engineering the most since it is the most energetic and chaotic job I held. However, I now have a family and find that quality engineering fits my lifestyle far better at this time.
I’ve watched this video before I enrolled Manufacturing Engineering degree, and watched it again after graduating… it seems okay, Now I just finished my 6months apprenticeship at a semoconductor manufacturing industry as Process Engineer, I can now finally can relate to it 😂 the hardest part in this job is making excuses 😅
If by fresh, you mean new to manufacturing, it can be. Some companies are looking for entry-level engineers. However, they will be looking for a technical degree or some type of background in manufacturing. If you don't have any manufacturing experience, consider being a manufacturing technician or maintenance worker to get into it. It is best to have some understanding of manufacturing equipment and techniques before becoming a manufacturing engineer.
I am a currently a controls engineer and a manufacturering engineer position just opened up at my plant. Wondering if I would like this. None of this sounds fun
Lol, why you stop making youtube videos? I am gonna have a Manufacturing engineer job. Would you make another video to share your experience. Your videos are so enjoyable.
Thank you for the comment!! I really do want to make a few videos based on my experiences the past 4 years, but have not had the chance. Hopefully I am able to set aside some time for making videos soon
im only 53 sec. in, and I have got to tell you.... to know what a mfg. eng. does in REAL life!!!??.. actually at work?... SOOOOOOOO helpful!! They should have this for accounting as well. Either way... YOU are an absolute legend!! This is all so impressive too me
I have applied a position in medical manufacturing company called biofire but I don't have any background in manufacturing engineering. I am little bit nervous because I don't know what I will be doing as Manufacturing engineering technician in that company and I have interview coming up this Wednesday.What will be your advice to me so that I can be successful in this career.I have background in electronics and communication systems in Africa and taught myself some computer programming languages but I don't have any equipment designing background. Thanks so much
I hope your interview went well! Certainly taking the step to apply and get the job is the biggest one you can make to help yourself be successful. To me, the biggest aids to success as a manufacturing engineer are to form good relationships with the people operating the equipment, and to get multiple ideas for vetting before picking one for moving forward. By forming good relationships with the people operating the equipment, you'll get the best insights quickly for what needs to change. By being careful to vet multiple ideas before picking one, you'll be able to avoid prejudices that will lead you to a bad decision. The technical knowledge you'll need is company-specific. Once you figure out what you don't know, try to learn more from people more senior, and from places outside your company. Good luck!!
I got my degree in biomedical engineering and I'm interested in the manufacturing field of medical devices. What do you recommend to someone with my degree to get into the field with no experience? I'm seriously thinking about going for my master's in ME.
I would recommend applying to entry-level manufacturing positions. Strengthen your resume, become good at interviewing, and go for it. Manufacturing engineering can be learned while doing the work. If you do decide to go for a masters, I would recommend industrial engineering over mechanical engineering. When I considered doing a masters in mechanical engineering, it seemed to me that I would mostly be doing fluid mechanics or design-related research, as opposed to something particularly manufacturing related.
More like product designing for internal projects to improve the process. You won't only do some product designing, you'll also be doing process designing and implementation. The goal is the be a subject matter expert to keep the production moving for current and new products. It is a well rounded position, utilizing mechanical and industrial engineering simultaneously with in depth project management skills.
Just graduated with a BS in Mech. Eng. about to start an MS in Mfg. Eng. Would you recommend becoming certified with the SME CMfgE certification in addition to the graduate degree?
As I never pursued a certification or a masters degree, I don't think I'm the best for answering this question. That does sound like a LOT of qualification to me. I would consider which companies you are hoping to get a job with and see if you can see the qualifications of their current engineers. That way, you can see if you are way over-shooting your target or will be just slightly above your potential peers (preferred option to avoid wasting time and $$)
JobTalk Thank you for the advice. This is basically what I did, which is how I found out about the CMfgE. I’m not so much worried about wasting time or money (my company is paying for my graduate degree and the body of knowledge for the CMfgE seems worth learning), I’m more worried about being overqualified for positions at some point. I guess I’ll just finish the degree and gauge my experience levels at that time. Love your videos by the way, they provide so much perspective.
@@Samcanplaymusic Thanks! And good luck! I think the worry about being overqualified is a legitimate one. All the places I've worked have been in such need of manufacturing engineers - just getting someone who will do the job well and stay is a hard task. Not many people seem to enjoy the busy-ness and energy level that is the manufacturing engineering role. (I loved it - but I'm a high-energy person)
Do they not usually split the roles described in this video ? This seems like you’re wearing multiple hats that leverage complimentary but very separate skillsets. I see this as a day in the life of 1 ME doing 3 roles that have different titles: 1. Support Manufacturing Engineers (helping ops) 2. Analysts (Process improvement, strategic projects, business cases, etc. ) 3. Engineering Manufacturing Engineers (Building new manufacturing process)
I don't know about usually, but at a small company, it's common to wear multiple hats. I'm not surprised that you see the ability to split this into multiple functions. Perhaps at large companies, they have the resources to do that. My guess is this isn't about normal, but about company size and resources.
I graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, so in a sense, it is not different from a job done by a mechanical engineer. However, most job postings titled "mechanical engineer" will be on the design side of the fence instead of the manufacturing side. Thus, a design based mechanical engineer will spend their day creating drawings and models on their computer to design a product, as opposed to out on the shop floor helping the design become reality.
I got a mechanical engineering degree, but industrial would work as well. One of my manufacturing engineering colleagues was a chemical engineer; it suited our company's needs.
Most companies ask for a B.S. in Engineering, Math, or Physics. They're more concerned with whether or not you have the skills necessary to handle the job than what major you got. If you only want to work in a manufacturing/production type capacity I would aim for a B.S. in Industrial Engineering as a first choice.
Just because a job description says 25% doesn’t mean that it will be that high. It’s a guess. My current role as a manufacturing engineer has “25%” travel. And I have only traveled twice in the last 6 months. Percentage wise it would be closer to 10% for me.
No. Engineers will focus on process and product design and problem solving, where management will focus on people, money and schedule management. That being said, companies have the freedom to name jobs whatever they want to name them, so a job might be mislabeled. Read the job description for the best understanding of what to expect.
Can Manufacturing Engineering Technology, be a Manufacturing Engineering? Is Manufacturing engineering technology or Manufacturing Engineering is a good major in America? How much a Manufacturing engineering technology’s salary?, I am in my junior study in Manufacturing Engineering Technology.
The difference between Engineering Technology and plain Engineering degrees is usually that the Engineering Technology degree is less theoretical and more applied. In other words, an Engineering Technology degree is more likely to teach about GD&T and tooling, while a plain Engineering degree is more likely to focus on theoretical equations behind the technology. Thus, the MET degree can certainly apply for Manufacturing Engineering. I personally think it provides a stronger background for working as a Manufacturing Engineer than a theoretical degree. Manufacturing Engineering salary can range from $60K to $80K starting, typically, in America. The biggest thing for landing a job is selling yourself, really. You can land a job with most engineering degrees if you can convince the hiring staff that you are worth their investment. Good luck!
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer this question. It is very dependent on your career history and the job availabilities in your area. Good luck!
Great, looks like You did a lot of internships while still in college! Most of us lost time in just figuring out what is what .. Did you intern as Design Engineer intern, Material engineer intern, Quality engineer intern, product development intern, Manufacturing engineer intern ? If yes you are a super woman ! :)
The design and materials engineering jobs were internships. The other 3 were all part of an introductory rotation position offered by the company I worked for. Similar jobs for trying out multiple positions at one company are available at quite a few companies in America (GE & Lockheed Martin are two of such companies). I can't speak for elsewhere in the world.
Please see a website like Glassdoor to answer this question - you can search for a particular career title and see the bell curve of salaries available. I had one job with one company, so I don't think I'll be a good source to answer this.
Would depend on how long you have been doing it. Starting out it will pay somewhere between 65,000-80,000. Ending it will probably be in the low 6 figures. 105,000-115,000.
Yes, there is a strong need for computer and electrical engineering backgrounds as automation is on the rise in manufacturing. Look for manufacturing facilities that are expanding their automated processes or have automated processes installed.
I know that you can't change old video, but it would be nice if in future videos you typed the text, instead of handwriting it. Your handwriting isn't great and typed video-text would be easier to read.
I have something really want to ask you regarding manufacturing engineer can you share your email, by the way i am a student in Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering
@@yeebo_1233 Yes, that should be useful in industry. After getting the degree, the big step is ensuring your resume looks great and then becoming good at interviewing. Beyond that, you'll learn most of what you need and use when you start working.

This job is not as easy as it looks, especially with time constraints! 🙃
What are some of the engineering jobs that require minimal travel? Seems like most engineering jobs require 25% or more travel
Most jobs I've had do not require that level of travel. It depends on the company
Just because a job description says 25% doesn’t mean that it will be that high. It’s a guess.
My current role as a manufacturing engineer has “25%” travel. And I have only traveled twice in the last 6 months.
Percentage wise it would be closer to 10% for me.
Is manufacturing engineer same as manufacturing management?
No. Engineers will focus on process and product design and problem solving, where management will focus on people, money and schedule management. That being said, companies have the freedom to name jobs whatever they want to name them, so a job might be mislabeled. Read the job description for the best understanding of what to expect.

Can Manufacturing Engineering Technology, be a Manufacturing Engineering? Is Manufacturing engineering technology or Manufacturing Engineering is a good major in America? How much a Manufacturing engineering technology’s salary?, I am in my junior study in Manufacturing Engineering Technology.
The difference between Engineering Technology and plain Engineering degrees is usually that the Engineering Technology degree is less theoretical and more applied. In other words, an Engineering Technology degree is more likely to teach about GD&T and tooling, while a plain Engineering degree is more likely to focus on theoretical equations behind the technology. Thus, the MET degree can certainly apply for Manufacturing Engineering. I personally think it provides a stronger background for working as a Manufacturing Engineer than a theoretical degree. Manufacturing Engineering salary can range from $60K to $80K starting, typically, in America. The biggest thing for landing a job is selling yourself, really. You can land a job with most engineering degrees if you can convince the hiring staff that you are worth their investment. Good luck!
How to switch career from maintenance engineer to manufacturing engineer?
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer this question. It is very dependent on your career history and the job availabilities in your area. Good luck!
I am a maintenance engineer now but I wish to become a manufacturing engineer so I want to know how can I switch to that career path?
Oh Man. I work in Ohio doing this same thing. Can you work for us?
Great, looks like You did a lot of internships while still in college! Most of us lost time in just figuring out what is what .. Did you intern as Design Engineer intern, Material engineer intern, Quality engineer intern, product development intern, Manufacturing engineer intern ? If yes you are a super woman ! :)
The design and materials engineering jobs were internships. The other 3 were all part of an introductory rotation position offered by the company I worked for. Similar jobs for trying out multiple positions at one company are available at quite a few companies in America (GE & Lockheed Martin are two of such companies). I can't speak for elsewhere in the world.
Being 8 years Assembly mfg engineering for Aircraft Component... Fiuhhh
How much they earn?
Please see a website like Glassdoor to answer this question - you can search for a particular career title and see the bell curve of salaries available. I had one job with one company, so I don't think I'll be a good source to answer this.
JobTalk Thanks
Would depend on how long you have been doing it.
Starting out it will pay somewhere between 65,000-80,000. Ending it will probably be in the low 6 figures. 105,000-115,000.
Can computer engineers become manufacturing engineers?
Yes, there is a strong need for computer and electrical engineering backgrounds as automation is on the rise in manufacturing. Look for manufacturing facilities that are expanding their automated processes or have automated processes installed.
Why you wanna switch?
This seems very exhausting.
I know that you can't change old video, but it would be nice if in future videos you typed the text, instead of handwriting it. Your handwriting isn't great and typed video-text would be easier to read.
I have something really want to ask you regarding manufacturing engineer can you share your email, by the way i am a student in Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering
Is taking a Bachelor in Manufacturing Engineer will be useful in the industry ??
@@yeebo_1233 Yes, that should be useful in industry. After getting the degree, the big step is ensuring your resume looks great and then becoming good at interviewing. Beyond that, you'll learn most of what you need and use when you start working.
Headache
Is this enjoyable ?????
If you love chaos and have lots of energy!
This sounds so... boring
