Frequently asked questions
When is a mechatronics engineer worthwhile instead of separate specialists?
When mechanics, electronics and controls interact closely and interfaces are the risk, for example with drive modules, handling systems or commissioning. For deep specialist tasks such as PCB layout or FEA, specialists are usually faster.
