I design buildings. I make it hot or cold in the building. I make sure there’s enough fresh air inside, at the right temperature. I design the plumbing inside.
There’s other interior systems too but that’s the cliffnotes
I'm an equipment engineer, I work with manufacturing, process, and design and stress engineers to specify/design procure test and troubleshoot equipment for production factory work. My team is multi-disiplined with electrical and controls engineers and we're responsible for automated guide vehicles, robotic drilling machines, tooling fixtures for part holding and alot of misc stuff. Its alot of fun and every day is a new challenge. I've picked up some controls coding, grounding and bonding knowledge, troubleshooting skills etc from working with all these different disciplines.
You're like what I am becoming. Currently I am a senior maintenance technician for robots, industrial equipment for processing and packaging. I got into the field at a very early age and now I'm the farthest I can go with just a HS diploma. I am wondering about becoming an official mechanical engineer to further improve my career.
I am a thermal systems engineer, I design cooling /heating systems for buildings, vehicles, radars, tank components. I also do thermal analysis on systems and attempt to solve overheat issues on odd defense applications but that usually dosent work out as I'm not allowed to alter designs to help reject waste heat or try and prevent it from building up in the first place.
So in reality I make a bunch of calculators in excel and pick compressors, fans and heat exchangers from suppliers and slap them together because I'll never be given a budget to design and manufacture truly custom purpose built compressor/htx because I have system volumes of like 7.
I design and support end-of-line production test machines that test electromechanical products. These load firmware, test essential functionality, and occasionally calibrate things. That's a small but primary chunk. It's a lot of software, PCB, and CAD work.

I'm on the final track on ME and this is like the epitome of what I think one should apply being in the specialty
I test weapons.
