Out of all the 'trades' electrical engineering has to be the most varied.
You can be designing a new state of the art automated system one day
And fault finding on a 40 year old monstrosity the next.
So what kind of jobs get you out of bed whistling on a morning?
Me, as much as I like new builds, I do love a retro-fit.
I've done 2 recently. One a multi dosing system that was using an old dos computer with multiple circuit boards with miniature relays and IC's (all in the bin now) and an industrial autoclave that had been left to rot for 20 years.
I absolutely loved working out what was what and how to get around it.
Adding as many extra features as you can think of, and shiny new hmi's
This wasn't work, it was unalloyed pleasure.
What's yours?
