Although I'm a degreed mechanical engineer, I'm pretty much a mongrel, because it's fun (ok, maybe not like jvn's fun job but..) I've been working for a small engineering/mfg company,
Titan Inc. since 1987. I get to design and program production test stands and special machines, primarily for the off-highway, truck and fluid power industries(we do Harley too!). It's a great job, and I get to wear a lot of hats (mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic design plus writing software, from concept to debug/runoff/update). Almost every project we do is a new 'animal', plus I get to learn about all the components, sub-assemblies, systems or vehicles our systems test or assemble. I'm especially proud of the fact that, except for some heat treating, and large machine frames, almost everything is done in-house. Best thing about it though is the people I get to work with.
