Mechatronics Engineers are professionals who design, develop and build products that combine mechanical and electronic engineering for a range of practical applications. Mechatronics also incorporates computer, control and systems design engineering and can be used to create intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems. These Engineers are mostly employed in engineering firms.
Candidates will have to go through below given procedure becoming a successful one in this profession.
Mechatronics Engineer Eligibility
The minimum educational qualification for becoming a Mechatronics Engineer is an Engineering Bachelor’s Degree in Mechatronics.

Mechatronics Engineer Job Description
They create engineering systems that automate industrial tasks, develop mechatronic solutions and electronic control systems for existing products or processes, and investigate the cost and performance benefits of mechatronic engineering solutions.
Mechatronics Engineer Career Prospects
After passing this course they have many job scopes in various fields at different places. Mechatronics Engineers can have jobs related to the design, implementation and testing of artificial intelligence systems and smart devices. They mainly work in the laboratories, workshops, processing plants and offices of engineering design firms. Their work is usually split between administrative and organisational tasks; and design and development work. Mechatronic Engineers may be required to travel to view new design ideas or technologies or to present at or attend conferences.
Mechatronics Engineer is closely related to Mechanical and Electrical Engineer; therefore their salary is also near and dear to them. They are given on monthly basis a salary ranging from Rs.25,000 to Rs.40,000. But they can earn more than this with having more work experience.
