Are you searching for a core Electrical Engineering position? You should be developing the following skills:
Circuit Design & Simulation :- Be familiar withMultisim, LTspice or Proteus.
Industrial Automation & PLC Programming : It would probably help if you knew a bit of ladder logic & SCADA systems.
Power Systems Analysis :- Load flow, fault analysis, and grid management are very basic areas of understanding.
MATLAB / Simulink :- This will be very helpful with control systems, power electronics, & system level simulations.
Basics of Embedded Systems :- A little knowledge of micro-controllers, basic C programming, and some IoT could be beneficial.
Electrical Safety & Standards :- Knowledge of IEEE and IEC standards, along with electrical safety procedures and practices would be useful.
Soft Skills:- Finally! This is the most important thing!
You either have or you don’t. Often overlooked, “Communication, Team Work, & Technical Report Writing” can be important.
If you are a student or graduate looking to land thatall-important first job in a core position, get serious about these skills and build your resume around those experiences, not next to those experiences!
