Frequently asked questions

What skills should a mechanical engineer put on a resume?

Mix design tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, ANSYS), manufacturing methods (CNC, lean, 5S, TPM) and quality tools (PPAP, PFMEA, SPC, Six Sigma). Copy the exact names used in the job description, since ATS software matches keywords literally.

How do I add numbers to a mechanical engineering resume?

Use the metrics your plant already tracks: cycle time, scrap or rejection rate, OEE, PPM, downtime, cost per part and savings in rupees. A before-and-after figure, such as "scrap from 3.2% to 1.1%", is the clearest.

Should a mechanical engineer fresher list projects?

Yes. Add your final-year project and any SAE BAJA, Formula Student or design competitions, with what you designed, the tools used and a result. They can carry as much weight as a short internship.
