Design engineers are professionals who create and develop new products or systems. They use their knowledge of engineering principles, materials, and technology to design items ranging from consumer electronics to machinery. Their work often involves computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed drawings and models. In addition to technical skills, design engineers must also consider factors like cost, safety, and usability. They collaborate with other engineers, manufacturers, and clients to ensure that their designs meet specific requirements and can be produced efficiently. This role is essential in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods.
