I'd consider myself a General Practitioner of Mechanical Engineering, at least in my current position.

Some of the tasks I do during the day:

Systems Integration - A few services we sell involve many different mechanical and electrical systems that must be coordinated.

Product Design - We develop new product lines all the time. I may be doing sheet metal, plastics, machined parts, conceptuals, etc., whatever it takes to get it done.

Manufacturing Engineering - We're a small firm, and we don't staff a Manu. Eng., so when questions arise from our Production Dept., we have to answer them ourselves.

Technology Evaluations - Our products are very high tech, and we constantly receive new technology prototypes. We have to decide if they would make a good basis for a new product.

Test Engineer - We frequently benchmark our production units against competitors and ourselves to make sure we maintain a level of quality.

Just thought the view from a different perspective might be nice. I work in a small company, and we have to wear many, many hats.
