RE: What do System Engineers do?
Systems engineering is a field of engineering. I would have thought google would come in handy.

I would hope that "Project" meant bean counting, whereas "System" meant engineering interaction. I'd certainly check the meaning before signing on the line.

As system engineer is responsible for engineering of the system.
If your project is a system...
RE: What do System Engineers do?
In the upper reaches of management of military projects you can see giant Gantt charts with all the paths indicated. It is the ultimate example of project management. It is more management than engineering, but the system engineer needs to talk engineering to many engineering players.
RE: What do System Engineers do?
My question is if any of you have gone to similar path and would like to share your experience and where did it take you?, where have you gone outside engineering field to apply your System Engineering skills?
Thank you

RE: What do System Engineers do?
Since my work is largely in a field where the product is very well defined, and has a hundred year old structure, I don't get to do much Systems Engineering, other than the dreaded FMEAs.
I suspect in most organisations there is a big difference between project engineer, and project management.

RE: What do System Engineers do?
In my specific case, some understanding of ME, EE, CS, physics, etc. is required.

RE: What do System Engineers do?
At university the course pretty much focused on giving us a basic understanding of all the typical major systems of an aircraft, with the goal of being able to lead the integration of all these systems. Simplisitically speaking to get the experts on each different system/discipline to talk to each other.
However, in industry it can have many different definitions. I'd ask for a detail job description of the specific position.
