In automotive, you will wind up designing a spring tensioner, not being a chief designer on a car (at least not any time soon).

I'm a mechanical engineer and my current title (since 2013) is Senior Technical Advisor. I have lead R&D projects on everything from cryogenic sealing for 2000 HP liquid nitrogen pumps to microbial influenced corrosion mitigation.

Prior to that I was a design engineer, team lead, engineering manager, product line manager... I like my current role and way less stress than dealing with a team of millennials...
