Hello Shabir,

Automotive engineers are concerned with the development of passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles or off-road vehicles. They do one or more of the following:

• Design new products or modify existing ones
• Troubleshoot and solve engineering problems
• Plan and design manufacturing processes

Automotive engineers must apply their engineering skills in a commercial way because their innovations and solutions must be effective and profitable. Their typical responsibilities include:

• Researching, designing, developing and producing vehicles and components
• Preparing cost estimates and design specifications
• Preparing plans and drawings
• Analyzing energy, environmental and safety aspects of the planned project
• Predicting vehicle or component behavior under different conditions using computerized models
• Developing testing procedures
• Investigating product failures
• Analyzing, interpreting and condensing technical data into reports or presentations
• Supervise technical staff
• Working closely with other types of engineers, such as civil, electrical, aerospace, chemical and industrial.

Manufacturing Engineers work for a wide range of manufacturing firms. They take responsibility for technical functions and maintenance of production lines and also manage development of new production lines.

• Ensure smooth, cost effective production and high performance in the industry
• Prepare plans and instructions for the manufacturing process
• Set the functions on the machines on the shop floor to operate with precision in the production process
• Supervise fabricators on the shop floor 
• Give detailed directions for efficiency in completion of the production process
• Troubleshoot problems on the production line and manage repair and maintenance
• Test new equipment and machinery to authenticate it for the production process
• Purchase and install new machinery
• Impart training to shop floor staff for the use of new machinery.
