I have 18 years total experience in a specialized subset of mechanical engineering (would say more but I'd probaby be identifiable if I did). Looking to move into a company like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc. Obviously to work on hardware projects. Have contacts at a couple of those companies. I have a PE license (if that even matters) and an MBA. Prior experience in aerospace (civil and defense) and automotive.

Puget Sound only. Would like to be in a management track.

What is reasonable to expect for TC? How would that be broken down for any particular company?

    I know people here are mostly software types. But I was hoping someone would have some good input for a mechanical engineer job.

      Targeting tech in the Puget Sound. Making definite progress but not there yet. Looking at a few options including non-engineering roles.

    Can I DM you? I have a friend who's ME but has very outdated skills when it comes to looking for a new job or going after TC

      Anything structural. Not electrical (though I've been involved in structural aspects of electronic hardware in the past). So validating strength, durability, etc.
