Question

Duties of mechanical technician?

Answer 1

Mechanical Technician is a broad term and duties vary depending on the particular product the company manufactures, not to mention the internal definition of the job description from company to company.  

In general, Mechanical Technicians assist engineers and designers in bringing ideas into reality as products.  This can include drafters, test technicians and manufacturing support positions.

Answer 2

Technicians basically make sure that what the engineers design is possible to build in the way it will have to be built.

I.E. Make sure something can be mass produced very quickly and assembled by machines, or that it can be put together by a person and not a machine with 7 arms.

Answer 3

I'm a mechanical engineer and i work as a mechanical drafter.

I take rough sketches of ideas and turn them into precise , accurate full scale drawings that can be constructed from.
