FAQS
What is a product engineer?
A product engineer is a software professional who plays a role in the creation, enhancement and testing of products or improvements to existing ones. In addition, they are also involved in every step of the product development process.
What are the main responsibilities of a product engineer?
The key responsibilities of a product engineer encompass designing and developing products, conducting research and analysis. Some engineers also formulate technical specifications collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, testing and resolving issues with prototypes ensuring product quality and compliance as well as providing support during production and launch phases.
What qualifications and skills are required for a product engineer job?
For individuals aspiring to become a product engineer, it is generally expected that you possess a degree in product engineering or a related field such as engineering or mechanical engineering. Strong analytical abilities, problem solving skills and technical expertise are essential. Proficiency in computer aided design (CAD) software alongside knowledge of product development processes can also prove advantageous.
Once you have a degree you could look for roles as a junior product engineer or a quality control specialist to gain experience, before taking the next step into product engineering.
What industries can product engineers work in?
Product engineers have opportunities across an array of industries such as automotive, technology, consumer goods, aerospace, medical devices as well as manufacturing.

How does a product engineer differ from a software engineer?
While both roles are involved in the development process, their areas of specialisation vary. A product engineer focuses on design, development, and production of products, focusing less on implementation and more on solving the users’ problems, building from scratch when required. A software engineer works differently in that they will build solutions based on the technical problem given, focusing on best practices, and building from prior work – they consider security, risk and how to scale a project more. Each has a part to play depending on the stage of a products development.
