Design engineer is a general term that covers multiple engineering disciplines:
Electrical,
mechanical and
civil engineering are the basic three.
Architectural engineers, in the U.S., and
building engineers in the U.K., are also examples of design
engineers. The design engineer is distinguished from the
designer/
drafter by virtue of the fact that a design engineer sets the direction of the design effort. The design engineer usually leads the project, directing the designer/drafter as necessary. He/she works with
industrial designers and marketing to develop the product concept and specifications and directs the design effort from that point. Products are usually designed with input from a number of sources such as manufacturing, purchasing,
tool making and
packaging engineering. When the design involves public safety, the design engineer is usually required to be licensed, for example a
Professional Engineer in the U.S. There is usually an 'industrial exemption' for design engineers working on project internal to companies.
