Hey All, looking for suggestions on other job titles/industries for a mechanical engineer to apply to. Currently in the automotive sector in Michigan and ready for a change.
Willing to go remote, otherwise the job needs to remain in Michigan. Mechanical is so broad, I'm having a hard time finding unrelated engineering jobs to automotive! I'd even be happy to move outside of the engineering role, using my technical expertise for something else! Any recommendations?

What do you dislike about auto? Would driverless vehicles still be undesirable? Seems like a hot field where your previous experience would give you an advantage.

From my lay perspective, robotics also seems to be trending.

Been in automotive too long and very jaded by it. I have many friends that work with other auto OEMs and they all have similar experiences, so I don't think the grass is any greener at any of the other OEMs. My major issue with the industry is the vehicle development schedules- they are always too tight to deliver a quality product, leading to a ton of OT and stress. Upfront planning is unorganized due to ever changing industry trends and electronics quick evolution.
Being a global industry, I have night meetings almost every night, after a 10 hour work day. I honestly don't have much of a life M-F and Sunday is spent being anxious for the upcoming work week. It's a great place to get your foot in the door and learn, but really hard to prevent burnout after 10+ years. Ready for a change and to start living life M-S.
