An Engineer... likes to become USA Engineer

I worked on hydraulics a few years, and had the same problem, though we never had enough to do, is not the problem with you or your knowledge or the place where you are at. I would check here first: http://nasajobs.nasa.gov/

Thanks, but I am still a green card and having second thoughts of becoming a US citizen which would be a requirement to become a federal employee?!

Another thing is my skills are too much concentrated on hydraulics although I have a degree in electrical engineering (which was just maybe 20 % used... not much high tech methods). I stepped down to a technician level just to be able to have a job... but quite disappointed to learn that my level(as a hydraulic man...) is way way above (honestly) of anyone in the company(making hydraulic components/parts in a critical applications)... You may think I am boasting but it is not my nature.

BTW how could you edit a starting thread?... cant?!

I have no idea how to help you regarding the job but with regards to editing the original post, you can write to mgaulin. He's the programmer for CR4. However, you'll need to be registered to qualify for this type of help.

It's free and easy so there's no reason not to register. Plus, you get the several benefits accorded a member of CR4 (not monetary unfortunately ).

Are you in the U.S in a city, easiest to write up every companies names and addresses where they work with hydraulics and you make appointments for a personal meeting to apply for a job(No problem if simple) but if you tell them why you are looking for the job maybe you work 6 month then they for sure will hire you.

About the citisenship: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

Fill out the applications, they will tell you what to do, because in each state, they have different regulations, but the applications are the same for every.

I guess... maybe 2(?) years...

Thanks again, and I am qualified to apply by now but just havent decided yet whether to push through just to gain more possible benifit of becoming a citizen.

Why I like to edit because I feel uncomfortable to discuss some technical issues(but very much willing to clarify and maybe give some possibly credible opinion) regarding my present work but not antagonizing my employer/company which might result to a bad situation for me... or for them too(maybe). You know there are company policies...

Pressure Drop

It´s not the same everywhere, if your were in Cali, they would expect from you to talk Spanish.I think, if you were US citisen now, you probably also could have a bigger paycheck by the end of the month.

If you want to work in industry, only your experience and education and your references will matter in the US -- there are no regulations regarding licensing if you are working for an equipment manufacturer or production facility. Licensing requirements only apply if you want to independently market yourself as a professional engineer and be able to sell your engineering to the public (which includes Corporations). Some states may have licensing requirements if you want to work for the government. You can even work for companies which market professional engineering and you can work for them as an engineer but you cannot be wholly responsible for the design and you cannot "stamp" drawings -- you would have to work under the authority and responsibility of a licensed engineer who ultimately stamps the drawings -- the licensed engineer must also independently do all the required calculations to insure that your design meets necessary engineering qualifications, but that does not mean that you cannot set out the design -- it just means that he cannot accept your calculations nor can he "check" your calculations -- he must do them himself to be sure that the proper formulas and assumptions are made.

Oh, that was nice Guest! Thanks a lot. I am losing hope as to how can I still possibly upgrade my "simple" knowledge in hydraulics which is one of the reasons of migrating. And I will be patient enough... to find some other good companies... with more challenging hydraulics applications... and of course good pay.
