Engineers, All Other
Architecture and Engineering
This title covers engineers whose work does not fit a separately listed specialty. Day to day, that can mean designing solutions for a given project, researching and analyzing technical problems, and testing systems or components to see whether they hold up. Projects also call for working with people from other teams, checking that designs meet industry standards and regulations, and writing up findings so others can act on them. It suits people who like applying engineering methods to problems that do not sit neatly in one named field, and who are comfortable moving between design, analysis, testing, and documentation.
