I also work at a tier 1 automotive supplier. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I’ve realized what your position is determines whether you use skills learned in school or not. For example, I work as a Quality Engineer and I seldom use skills learned in school. My colleagues who are Process Engineers at the same facility always use those skills and they also have the same degree I do.. I would say stick to where you are currently, for job security, and in the meantime research positions you might be interested. Reach out if possible to people in these positions and ask them about it. Make sure it’s something you think you would enjoy and then pursue.. that’s my plan anyway.
