Duties of Computer Engineering Jobs

Computer engineers are tasked with creating new computer systems. Although they may not always have a hand in the actual building of the computer system, they are responsible for creating the schematics that will be used to build the computer system. They also test the systems they design in order to get a feel for user experience and any flaws that may exist.

Based on the test results of the systems, computer engineers will adapt their design to make it more efficient and user friendly. Many computer engineers design systems that are used in manufacturing processes.

Computer engineers ensure that existing systems will be compatible with new software when it becomes available. One great example is a car’s computer system being compatible with the software that connects a person’s phone through Bluetooth.

Outlook for Computer Engineering Jobs

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that as of May 2017 the average income for a computer engineer was $115,120. Computer engineering jobs should continue to grow in the future, but it depends on what kind of computer engineer you become. For example, hardware engineers are only estimated to grow 5 percent, while software engineers are expected to grow by a staggering 25 percent by 2026!
