Calculation engineers: optimising developments by means of simulation calculations
Calculation engineers use simulation software to carry out computational experiments. Based on the related results, they evaluate existing systems and make precise statements about, for instance, the resilience of materials or the stability of structures. These results also allow a reduction of the required working time and costs, an optimisation of the quality of the practical measurements and an acceleration of the development processes.
Which opportunities do calculation engineers have on the labour market?
Calculation engineers often require an academic degree in a field related to the industry they work in, e.g. in vehicle engineering, automation technology, electrical engineering, food technology or chemical engineering. Moreover, they can further develop their skills and qualifications by completing a postgraduate study programme in mechanical engineering, civil engineering or, again, electrical engineering. In the automotive, chemical, electronics and pharmaceutical industry, calculation engineers currently have the best prospects. Learn more about the areas calculation engineers can work in!
