Background
While most of my job titles dub me a "Mechanical Engineer" I consider myself a Mechatronics Engineer at heart. There are several pillars of understanding that form Mechatronics; they are Mechanics, Electrical/Electronics, and Software.
It is through this broad understanding of Engineering disciplines that I am able to gain a deeper understanding of the projects I work on and how their various facets interact with one another.
Although I have participated in various types of research and development, the bulk of my experience lies in Product Development (physical consumer products, that is). I find this kind of Engineering holds deep interest for me as it adds a layer of consumer psychology into the design process. In Product Development there are no simple "best" solutions; we must consider the balance of the public's desire for features, our ability to achieve those outcomes, and being able to achieve them at a price customers are willing to pay.
