Hi everyone! Continuing my stories about candle production, today I’ll show how we powder-coat candle holders. I built and tuned the setup myself from scrap parts (except the porous fluidizing plate at the bottom that lets air flow evenly so the powder behaves like a liquid). I tested it against a Wagner system—mine worked well, though Wagner is better. The parts went to the oven, and then to candle lovers! https://youtu.be/kmfQtPKZudU

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

We’re hiring for Mechanical Engineering interns for our Concord, MA office. In-progress BS/MS in ME needed. Come join a lovely consulting firm. DM to discuss a possible referral 💥

I will possibly be getting a machinist role through some contacts, and I have no experience in the field and I’m wondering what I could expect to make, when I look up average salaries for a machinist position I see around 65k but that seems too good for my age and experience so I’m wondering what some others in the trade on here are making

I’ve heard a ton about business salaries in the other bowls. Interested in where everyone is with engineering backgrounds. Degree, YOE, Industry, Salary

Hello everyone, I work with GM as Production Group Leader/ Production Supervisor. I am looking to switch. I have masters in manufacturing engineering. With my profile which roles I should be aiming at ?

Hmm. I’m attracted to engineers..

How do I get a job as a Mechanical Engineer if I dont have experience?

I couldn’t get an internship while in school. I have a BS in ME and projects from school under my belt. I’ve also passed the FE exam. I’ve been mostly just doing CAD for a company for the last year by creating minimally dimensioned drawings and moving parts around in assemblies. I want to evolve in my career and be doing more. I worked so hard to earn my degree and I feel like I’m not even using it. But who will hire me?

How many ME jobs did you apply to before landing your current position?

Do you typically apply to jobs that you have are missing some of the qualifications for? For example: Is it acceptable to apply for jobs where you have 70% of the qualifications? Where is the % threshold of not getting considered?

What is everyone’s degree, YOE, field working in, salary, location, and any advice if applicable!

Fellow Mechanical Engineers, where was the best place to look for ME jobs? LinkedIn? Indeed? Others?

Anybody here trying to get into Project Management? If so, what makes you want to get into PM?
