Hello ladies and gents,
We recently extended an offer to a new EE grad. We work in a small office (6 people not including sales staff who work at a kiosk). Though the new hire will initially be making less than most in the office, we are writing in a pay bump after one year that will have him...
Hello ladies and gents,
We have launched a new product. Up until now, our sales have all been online or at a local kiosk, however we have recently started selling at retail locations. The problem, as you can see from the picture, is that the box hangs askew. On the left size is a...

For example, I have an SMC solenoid valve selected...
Hello all, just wondering if any engineers here had an opinion of working in Australia. I'm originally from the states, but I have been working as a mechanical engineer in Japan for a number of years. I'm getting a bit tired of the long hours, general restrictiveness and basically just looking...
Hello,

While the 2d drawings have been sufficient so far, I think making assembly...
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the upcoming change of the EN954-1 standard to the ISO13849-1 standard. I read an article stating that there will be a 3 year extention, and then another article stating there will NOT be a three year extention. Then another article said...
Hello,
I have an interview coming up with AIDA engineering. I was wondering if anyone knew of similar sized international press manufacturers who might be considered their competition. I checked GlobalSpec and it came up with 500+ industrial press manufacturers. Any help would be...
