Job profiles available after getting a degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering

Electronics and communication engineering is one of the most rapidly growing branches of engineering. It entails the transmission of data across a channel. It combines Communication Engineering with fundamental Electronics Engineering and is sometimes referred to as ECE. The goal of the course is to emphasise communication while also providing an understanding of the electronics area.

Aviation and avionics, consumer electronics, electricity plant, manufacturing, distribution, communication & telecommunication, computer application, radio & television, analytical equipment manufacturing, and offshore industries are all places where an electronics and communication engineer can work. Let us explore some of the job profiles available after obtaining a BTech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering.

1. Electronics Engineer

Electronic engineering is a fast-paced and fascinating field. One can work in telecommunications, manufacturing, aerospace, or robots, for example.

As an electronics engineer, you will design, develop, and test components, devices, systems, or equipment that use electricity as a source of power as an electronics engineer. Capacitors, diodes, resistors, and transistors are examples of these components.

You can be a part of a project at any point, from the initial concept brief to the design and development stage, prototype testing, and the final manufacture and installation of a new product or system.

2. Field Test Engineer

Field test engineers assess operational performance and, if necessary, provide recommendations for improvements. Field test engineers create standard field-testing techniques and meticulously record test data for future reference. Root cause analysis is one of their roles, which includes determining the source of product problems and developing corrective steps.

They accurately document all corrective actions, keep testing equipment and supplies in excellent working order, and cooperate with support engineers to troubleshoot and resolve issues.

3. Network Planning Engineer

Network planning engineers look after an organization's internal and external computer networks. They assist a company's numerous departments by setting project goals and duties, as well as updating and maintaining networks.

Working in this job, you will be responsible for analysing the fibre plan's information capacity and developing the network's architecture. You'll examine and improve the network's cost-effectiveness and connectivity factors. You will calculate circuit plans and calculate transmission costs.

4. Customer Support Engineer

Through an Internet-based system, phone calls, and email, customer support engineers reply to consumer enquiries concerning technological problems. They must have excellent verbal and writing communication skills, as well as the ability to work under pressure to solve technological difficulties for both personal and corporate clients.

The customer support engineer records client calls and offers troubleshooting assistance to locate and isolate the problem. They must then identify a solution and guarantee that the client's expectations are realised as soon as possible. To analyse and fix issues, the customer support engineer collaborates closely with quality assurance and technical departments or employees.

5. Electronics Technician

Electronics specialists create electronic components as well as repair, install, maintain, and update existing electronic systems. They may create reports and manuals and work in offices, factories, the telecommunications industry, and other places where electronics are used. They also provide instruction and interpret drawings.

You should have good mechanical skills and enjoy executing activities with your hands to be successful as an electronics technician. Outstanding electronics technicians can solve problems using a variety of resources and are at ease working alone and in groups.

6. Research and Development Software Engineer

An R&D engineer works for a firm and is responsible for research and development. They conduct a variety of experiments and activities using research ideas, principles, and models. R&D engineers not only develop new products but also remodel old ones. Overall, they want to strengthen their company's current technologies and develop new ones in order to boost their industry and market position.

7. Service Engineer

Service engineers are in charge of a variety of tasks both within and outside of buildings, including mechanical, electrical, and public health safety system design, installation, and monitoring. Building services engineers, service engineers, architectural engineers, building engineers, and facilities planners are all names that people in this job have.

The majority of service engineers work in the private sector and are largely responsible for installing and repairing equipment and facilities. One usual task is to come up with answers to difficulties that arise during the installation of new equipment. Another common task is to consult with buildings and businesses that want to enhance their equipment and amenities.

8. Senior Sales Manager

Senior sales managers are in charge of the organization's sales operations. They are in charge of supervising the activities of the junior sales management team. They are in charge of maximising the sales team's potential, developing sales plans, and justifying these goals to upper management. They want to grow the company's customer base and have a significant position in the market. Leadership, organisation, communication, and the capacity to attract excellent sales agents are all abilities that these managers should possess.

9. Technical Director

A Technical Director is a representative of the sponsoring firm who acts as the team's technical point of contact, represents the company's interests, guides the team while they work on the project, and supports technology transfer. They provide subject-matter expertise and serve as the project's point of contact on the industry side. In addition, the Technical Director recruits other key subject-matter experts from within the organisation to provide further guidance to the team on certain project areas.

Work Experience

Work experience can help you obtain a hands-on, practical understanding of engineering systems and the specialised industries in which they are applied. Some degrees include a year of work experience, allowing you to extend your skillset and build a network of contacts. You might also get some job experience by looking for possibilities in the careers sections of company websites or applying for announced internships.

Many international electronics companies have research and development centres in India. Engineers based in the country may be sent overseas to work on projects, thus they must be willing to travel.

Expected Salary Package

In India and abroad, an electronics engineer can pursue a variety of careers. Electronic engineers' pay packages are determined by a number of elements, including their talents, credentials, location of employment, recruiters, and a variety of other parameters. Consider a degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering if you want to pursue a career that is dynamic, engaging, exciting, and demanding, with a lot of job opportunities today and in the future.
