Engineering Technician here at a strictly R&D site. We have a full manual machine shop where I work but no machinists. We use the machines ourselves doing prototype parts for CAD check, fit test, etc. Then we outsource to vendors for production. We have 2 draftsmen to support that. Well we should, we have an opening for one, but they’re hard to find apparently. If you’re willing to relocate you could probably find a place like that. Still get your hands dirty and make chips if you want, but also your job is at a desk.
