Electrical engineers

This professional role designs, develops, tests, and supervises the manufacturing and installation of electrical systems and components. They are crucial for creating and maintaining the power, electronics, and control systems that power modern society.

Key responsibilities involve applying principles of electricity and electromagnetism to design circuits, devices, and systems. They conduct simulations, analyze performance, and troubleshoot electrical issues in areas like power generation, telecommunications, robotics, or consumer electronics. A core function is ensuring designs meet safety standards, performance specifications, and regulatory compliance, while also managing project timelines and budgets.

They also collaborate with other engineers (e.g., mechanical, software), technicians, and project managers to integrate electrical systems into larger products or infrastructure. Ultimately, they are accountable for the functionality, reliability, and safety of electrical systems, directly contributing to technological innovation and efficient power utilization.
