can you work as a control eng

can you work as a control eng

(OP)
Hello

iam a new mechatronics eng from egypt and my branch is analog to automation and robotic eng, i found that automation and robotic jobs in my country is limited in automotives centers and production lines in factories also can work in cad/cam field, but can an automation and robotic eng works in your countries as a control eng and deal with instruments, motors, solenoids etc or it is not  

RE: can you work as a control eng

Hello foaad.

You need to work on your writing or you won't likely be working in the USA.  You need to get the punctuation down a little better and you need to use Capital letters correctly or companies will move on to the next candidate.

Once you have that, and I think you can do it, there are certainly other places doing mechatronics and robotics!  Semiconductor equipment makers have a lot of that in each machine.  Look at companies like Applied Materials and Novellus.

Regarding the job market here in the US for Controls Engineering, Robotics, & Automation, you may find out more this way.

Link to these sites and perform searches.  This will show you a survey of the jobs available, but certainly not all of them.  There is a "hidden" job market out there with many unpublished positions available.  But these sites will give a good initial survey.

Thanks for the good answers. i think i can work as a Control Eng due to mechatronics under graduate studies but the Problem is that most job markets managers are not aware of that. of cours Automation and Robotics is a very Wide field  

RE: can you work as a control eng

i think you didn't got the point of my question. well the question is that in Egyptian and Middle East job markets they don't choose Control engineers from mechatronics department. they choose them from Electrical Engineering Department. Control and Instrument Branch. if a Mechatronics Engineer sent his C.V to Control job he will not be accepted. iam asking if the same classification is applied in your job markets?!!

RE: can you work as a control eng

No, not really.  It depends upon the particular company and the particular industry in which you seek a position here in the US.  Many companies+industries are very loose about the educational requirements for a "Controls Engineer" and will accept anyone who understands electricity even a little bit.  Other companies+industries are very rigorous in their requirements.
