$25,000 to $100,000Overview
Electromechanical engineering technologists (EETs) assist electromechanical engineers in research, design, and development of computer-controlled electromechanical systems and equipment. Also known as mechatronics systems (or engineering) technologists, they use the principles of computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering, along with systems integration and technical project management skills. They analyze and test electromechanical machine and equipment designs, schedule work flow, and create budgets for projects. There are approximately 14,000 electromechanical technicians (a career that includes EETs) employed in the United States.
