mechanical engineers
Build complex machinery
Mechanical engineers design, build, and maintain machines and mechanical systems—from engines and turbines to heating systems and manufacturing equipment.
The field spans nearly anything that moves or uses energy: The mechanical engineers redesigned the cooling system to improve efficiency.
Among the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, it overlaps with automotive, aerospace, and robotics work.
