Engineering What are career options for an Electronics Engineer?

AI Thread Summary
Electronics engineering offers a variety of career options, including roles in design, development, testing, and maintenance of electronic systems. Common job titles for electronics engineers include process technicians, maintenance engineers, and design engineers. The discussion highlights the distinction between electronics and electrical engineering, noting that electronics is often more hands-on and practical, while electrical engineering tends to be broader and more theoretical. For those studying electronics engineering, pursuing additional courses in specialized areas such as embedded systems, telecommunications, or software development can enhance job prospects. Resources for exploring career paths and job opportunities in the field are also suggested.

Do you mean Electronics as in an Master's Degree or Electrical as in a Bachelor's Degree?

Post Graduate education opportunities are different from a plain four year degree.
 
In my experience during school and work electronics engineering and electrical engineering are different things. Electronics engineering is more hands on, applicable and (right or wrong) considered less rigorous. Electrical engineering is more broad, more mathematical and more common. At my job we have many electronics engineering graduates working as maintenance and process technicians. They generally like to get their hands dirty more than the "real" engineers who sit at a desk most of the day.

I am currently studying 4 years undergraduate course in Electronics Engineering. So I want to ask that what kind of jobs are available to me and which extra courses should I study as a plus point from recruitment point of view ?
