Howdy all,
Go easy on me as I have gone back and forth about posting this, but I figured I would shoot my shot.
Background:
I do not have an engineering degree (one of my great regrets in life). I have an above average engineering skillset developed throughout my life but mostly in my current role.
Essentially, I function as the engineer for the laboratory (aerospace metallurgy). Current title is R&D/SME. In addition, I do all of our tooling design, CAD drawings, 3D printing, technology change management, conference topic presentations, etc.
The issue:
I am ready to move on from this company after 7 years (not encouraged by the current direction by our C-suite) and into a pure engineering role. Obviously, I cannot get anyone to take a look at me because I do not have an engineering degree.
The ask:
If anyone knows of a role in the DFW area (I live north of the DFW) that would be willing to take a chance on me, please let me know. Might consider a relocation for the right offer.
-OR-
If anyone has any advice on breaking through this wall other than "go get a new degree", that would also be appreciated. A new degree just isn't in the cards right now or near future.
Thanks in advance.
