Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field that combines mechanics, electronics, computing, and communication technologies to design intelligent machines and systems. Mechatronic systems are found in vehicles, aircraft, manufacturing equipment, and appliances. Mechatronics engineers work in R&D, production, development, and sales to design and integrate mechanical, electrical, and computer systems. Their skills include mechanics, electronics, automation, programming, and the ability to combine technologies. Training involves an engineering degree specializing in mechatronics at the bachelor's or master's level. Responsibilities encompass research, prototyping, testing, production, and maintenance of mechatronic equipment and systems.

MECHATRONICS

1. What is mechatronics ?

Mechatronics is a technology combining mechanics, electronics, computing

and new information and communication technologies (such as the internet).

The combination of these different areas makes it possible to think about a

product differently, from its design to recycling and maintenance. The aim of

mechatronics is to create increasingly intelligent components and solutions

that communicate with each other, to meet customer demands for excellence

and enable the deployment of the factory of the future.

Examples of mechatronic systems include:

- a modern motor vehicle,

- fighter jet,

- ABS, ESP,

- power steering,

- a numerically controlled machine tool,

- autofocus,

- hard drives,

- instrumented ball bearings,

- “smart” washing machines,

Advantages

The strength of mechatronics ultimately lies in its adaptability to juggle both

relatively small applications and much larger applications. Ultimately, it


remains close to sciences such as physics and chemistry to the extent that it

is a mastery of several technologies that we try to assemble together to bring

new functionalities to products that could not work independently.

2. Jobs of mechatronics engineer

There are many professions linked to mechatronics and some are even being

created as industry 4.0 develops. By combining new technologies,

mechatronics generates new challenges, thus creating specific professions.

There is a constant need for mechatronics in the job market and more

specifically for mechatronics engineers specialized in the following fields:

R&D, the production, Development, industrialization of components, the sales,

marketing,

The positions sought are multiple and generally concentrate:

industrial designers and constructors, mechatronics engineer, physics lab

workers, R&D engineer, polymechanics, automation, specialists, engineer in

design office, electronic engineers, polymechanics, applications engineer,

production mechanics, etc

3. Skills and qualities

In terms of qualities, the engineer must have a great open mind to mobilize

teams from diverse disciplines and unite them around a common project. It is

of course necessary to master solid skills in mechanics, electronics, IT and

automation. Of course, the mechatronics engineer necessarily has a field that

he likes more than another, but it is above all the ability to combine all his
disciplines that makes the difference. Proficiency in CAD software is expected,

as is technical English.

4. Training to become a mechatronics engineer.

It is possible to enter the profession at Bac +5 level with an engineering

diploma specializing in mechatronics. Certain master's degrees awarded by

universities are also appreciated by employers, such as the Mechanics and

Sciences master's degree for engineers specializing in mechatronics or the

professional master's degree in mechanical and civil engineering, automation,

robotics, mechatronics specialty.

5 What are the missions of a mechatronics engineer?

The main missions of a mechatronics engineer are to ensure all stages of

connected system design. This includes :

-conduct research to improve the performance, quality and safety of

-equipment;

-set up test phases;

-create prototypes;

-analyze performance and quality results;

-make the necessary technical adjustments;

-determine the modes of production;

ensure maintenance if he works directly on the industrial site;

advise and support the technical and production teams;

draw up a use and maintenance protocol for the customer.
