Must Have Skills for getting placed in a Core Company

Though there is no specific algorithm that can guarantee your placement by some skillset, there are some key points that will help you build a good impression in front of the interviewers. Let’s look at the important skill sets that you require in order to get placed in a core company.

rn

Mechanical Engineer

rn

A mechanical engineer should have particular hard skills, including a strong understanding of industry standards, and comfort working with computers, because a lot of time is spent designing, simulating, and testing. Few other core skills required are:

rn

1.CAD/CAM/CATIA/Solid Works/ANSYS

rn

2.FEA

rn

3.Drafting Standards and Geometric, Dimension, & Tolerance (GD&T)

rn

4.Perform Equipment and System Calculations.

rn

5.Work Effectively Under Pressure.

rn

6.Good manufacturing knowledge.

rn

7.Read and Interpret Drawings and Specifications.

rn

8.Good Core subject knowledge like in mechanics, thermodynamics, materials and etc.

rn

ECE/EEE/ENTC Engineer

rn

An electrical engineer is required to be very good at analytical skills and should also possess good communication skills.  A good electrical engineer is someone who has an eye for detail. Some of the major core company skills for an electrical engineer are:

rn

1.Embedded Systems

rn

2.MATLAB

rn

3.IOT

rn

4.VLSI design

rn

5.Programming in any one of language

rn

6.AVR

rn

7.PLC

rn

8.MOSFET’s device characteristics and basic structure.

rn

Civil Engineer

rn

Civil engineers design major construction projects, such as roads, airport, tunnels, dams and bridges. They must possess a very broad skill set, from cost accounting to geology. Some of the major technical skills that any civil engineer must possess are:

rn

1.Complex data interpretation (Trigonometry, Geometry)

rn

2.AutoCAD, Staad Pro and Revit software’s

rn

3.Material Science

rn

4.CAM analysis

rn

5.FEA

rn

CS/IT Engineers

rn

Being a computer science graduate involves identifying the problem and coming up with a technological solution to address it. A good software engineer should possess good problem solving skill and good creative thinking for coming up with different logics for coding.

rn

1.Data Structures and Algorithms

rn

2.OOPS

rn

3.OS, DBMS and Networks

rn

4.C, C++, JAVA and Python

rn

5.Parallel Programming

rn

6.Compiler Design

rn

7.Basics of security, vulnerabilities, and cryptography.

rn

8.Basic web development – hosting your own site with a database (MySQL etc.) on a server.

rn

Bioengineers

rn

Bioengineering is one of the fastest growing markets in the USA. A good bio-engineer should have good analytical thinking, communication skills and creative thinking. Some of the skills a bio engineer must have other than soft skills are:

rn

1.Integration of engineering and medicine

rn

2.Material Science

rn

3.Western blotting

rn

4.Molecular biology

rn

5.Tissue engineering

rn

6.COMSOL, ADINA and MATLAB

rn

“Every engineer is unique in his/her way. Possessing only technical skills or only soft skills will not get you placed in any company, you should have the right mixture of both the worlds.”
