Careers in electrical or electronic engineering

An electrical engineer designs, develops, tests, and supervises the production of electrical systems and electrical equipment. Their work involves dealing with electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Electrical engineers typically specialise in the following areas:

• Power Generation and Distribution: Design systems to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity to homes, industries, and businesses.
• Electronics: Create and test electronic devices like microchips, circuit boards, and consumer electronics (phones, computers, etc.).
• Telecommunications: Develop communication systems, such as radio, satellite, and fibre optics networks.
• Control Systems: Design control systems for machines, industrial processes, and automation technologies.
• Instrumentation and Measurement: Design sensors and devices to measure physical quantities like temperature, pressure, or flow.
• Renewable Energy: Many electrical engineers work on projects involving solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources.
• Robotics and Embedded Systems: Design control systems and hardware for robotics and smart devices.
• Signal Processing: Analyse and process signals in areas like telecommunications, medical imaging, and radar systems.

Regardless of sector, an electrical engineering job description will ask prospective candidates to demonstrate skills in research, problem-solving, project planning and project management, as well as experience in working environments where applying mathematical and scientific principles is required to create efficient and innovative solutions.
