You are a designer, not a manual worker who operates machine tools and repairs molds. It has nothing to do with men and women.
Non-standard equipment mainly needs to learn the common mechanical structure and various standard parts, mainly relying on experience, that is, working hours, how many pieces of equipment have been made to improve the technology, and then ask the boss for a high salary, but at the bottom of this line, drawing is enough, and ordinary workers can also learn.
I suggest you go to the medical device industry, because medical devices need theoretical calculation, and you need to calculate accurate torque, inertia, service life and so on. Many old engineers can only rely on experience. If this motor is not powerful enough, just change it to a bigger one. They can't do theoretical calculation, motion simulation, force analysis, etc.
I am not a senior. I switched to mechanical design halfway. If I can choose again, I will switch to IT. Is the salary high? Of course, the salary of mechanical designers engaged in research and development is also very good. Since you are interested in machinery, don't change careers. Come on, Q User: Mr. Li.
