Instrumentation Engineer Duties and Responsibilities
The exact nature of an instrumentation engineer’s job will vary by the employer’s industry. However, several core responsibilities are crucial to nearly all positions. If you become an instrumentation engineer, expect to do the following:
Understand Objectives Instrumentation engineers talk with their employer, client, and colleagues about what needs to be accomplished. For instance, a power generation facility may want to lower its emission levels to comply with government regulations. Time and budget constraints also play a role in the planning process.
Design Equipment With a thorough understanding of the goal, instrumentation engineers then develop suitable equipment or make changes to existing machines or systems. Plans can involve instruments that measure variables, such as pressure or radiation, and may involve complex computer operations.
Test Equipment Did the plan work? You don’t know until you try it out. Instrumentation engineers run many, many tests and analyze the results. They often must monitor over an extended period of time to ensure consistent performance and reliable safety standards.
Troubleshoot Whether there are big problems or simply minor adjustments that would yield better results, instrumentation engineers figure out how to solve any problems – which then involves more testing!
Write Reports After a series of tests or when an adjustment is made, instrumentation engineers may need to write up their findings for others to evaluate. They also may monitor systems on a regular basis and report these results.
Train Employees When new equipment or techniques are implemented, instrumentation engineers are called upon to get employees up to speed on use. This may also involve writing training manuals that workers can use for reference.
Instrumentation Engineer Skills and Qualifications
At the core of the job is technical knowledge that can be used to solve real-world problems. Other abilities hiring managers desire from candidates include:
- Problem-solving – the ability to confront a situation and troubleshoot why things are going wrong is essential
- Creativity – thinking outside the box often leads to novel solutions that increase performance, efficiency, and revenue
- Communication skills – instrumentation engineers need to be able to express their thoughts and the results of their work in both written and oral form
- Collaboration – projects are often a team effort, so it’s important to interact well with others and build off of other people’s ideas
- Attention to detail – overlooking things can result in production and safety problems, so a commitment to accuracy is vital
- Lifelong learning – technology advances quickly, and instrumentation engineers need to keep up with those changes to remain relevant
Instrumentation Engineer Education and Training
Instrumentation engineers typically hold a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a similar STEM discipline. Some employers look for candidates possessing master’s degrees. A graduate degree in business or project management can be a big plus for instrumentation engineers looking to move into leadership positions.
