Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Intermediate, installer-focus) work with mechanical machinery supported by information technology in dynamic environments using a variety of measurement and computer equipment and tools. They manage complex machines, adjust, find errors, and eliminate them; know the principles of operation of hydraulic, electrical and other devices; and carry out the measurements and interference with the fabrication processes. They know how to use computer programs and control the steering of various processes. Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Intermediate, installer-focus) are able to maintain, listen, observe, perform screenings, and carry a sense of professionalism with staff and any outside parties.

Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Intermediate, installer-focus) work in the installation and maintenance of mechatronics components and systems for manufacturers in the plant construction and engineering sectors, for system operators and in service sectors, and for service providers in a wide range of branches of trade and industry. Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Intermediate, installer-focus) carry out their work at various places, mainly at plant assembly sites, in workshops and in connection with service operations. They are qualified to work autonomously on the basis of technical documents and instructions and carry out their work in compliance with the relevant provisions and safety regulations. They often work in teams. They coordinate their activities with upstream and downstream operations.

Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Intermediate, installer-focus) work to combine electronic, mechanical, computer and control skills at the workplace.

Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Basic, fitter-focus) work to combine electronic, mechanical, computer and control skills at the workplace. They work with complex high-performance manufacturing systems and are able to analyze, troubleshoot, and repair systems to maintain process efficiency. They must understand and analyze the technical specifications of mechatronic systems, subsystems, modules, and components; perform scheduled and preventive maintenance to detect and prevent problems; use troubleshooting skills to identify and prevent possible problems and failures, and to systematically and intelligently make repairs; incorporate relevant technical literature into the understanding of system operation and coordinate efforts with other technicians involved in installing or maintaining equipment or components; install, repair, adjust, and test equipment and components to ensure that systems function properly; communicate with machine operators, and operate equipment to detect equipment problems, analyze malfunctions, and verify system problems; and observe and incorporate safety standards and regulations required for safe operation of the system.

Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Basic, fitter-focus) are engaged in the assembly and maintenance of complex machines, plants, and systems in the mechanical engineering sector or in organizations which purchase and operate such mechatronic systems. They carry out their work at various places, mainly at plant assembly sites, in workshops and in connection with service operations. They are qualified to work autonomously on the basis of technical documents and instructions and carry out their work in compliance with the relevant provisions and safety regulations. They often work in teams. They coordinate their activities with upstream and downstream operations.

Mechatronics Technician/Engineers (Basic, fitter-focus) apprentices will receive a more comprehensive education than mechatronics technicians with a
