Cody’s Answer
Hello there,
As someone who has dedicated over half a decade to being a Quality Engineer in the aerospace manufacturing industry,
I found immense support and success through certain software tools. Minitab, a statistical analysis tool, proved to be a game changer. Additionally, 3D modeling software and basic ERP systems like SAP were instrumental in my journey. These tools can be a great help to you as well.

Hi Victor,
I will assume that you are referring to manufacturing engineers.
1. Here is a typical day.
- Walk in, sit down at a desk and log in to their laptop to check if they have e-mails from colleagues that need immediate response.
- Walk into the factory to their assigned locations of responsibility and check if there any production issues (e.g. many defects in parts, machine down, etc.).
- Troubleshoot issues using past experience or with help from superiors.
- Attend a meeting where your boss provide some manufacturing goals to achieve for the week/months (e.g reduce defects by 30%).
- Chat with factory workers and their immediate supervisors about any general issues.
- Attend another meeting involving a team effort to solve a problem.
Repeat above steps as needed.
2. Tools: Learn problem solving methods (fishbone analysis, 8D, etc.)
3. Software: Learn a manufacturing-related software for 2D and 3D design that your college offers (e.g. AutoCAD, SolidWorks).
Good luck!

Hi Victor –
I am not certain what type of position you are looking for; however, I would recommend looking at job postings for the position you desire. Ideally, these job postings should have similar skills that are required or needed.
I would then make a list of these required or needed skills and seek some level of training, if necessary.
I wish you the best of luck.
