Question/Discussion Engineering support
I'm a manufacturing engineer with a background in both running machines as a programmer/ operator and managing machining/ assembly operations.
With this background I have been exposed to a whole lot of machinists who don't believe engineers need to be involved in the machining process and I'm struggling to disagree with them as long as the assumption is that the shop only does machining work.
Wanted to get your thoughts on the role you guys see for an engineer in a machining only type shop and whether an engineer truly adds value as an engineer or of an experienced machinist offers significantly more value.
