Responsibilities
Engineers for technical computer science develop computers as well as automation and communication systems for technical tasks. In addition, they control and optimize computerized industrial operations, e.g. in the field of automobile production. For this purpose, they combine the areas of computer technology, microelectronics, measurement technology, control, regulation and communications technology as well as remote data transmission and programming technology. They build and maintain computer networks and systems. For customers, they program custom solutions if they can not be bought on the market. In the software field engineers for technical computer science are e.g. responsible for the development of operating systems. Among other things, these are adapted to the respective company structures, but are also dedicated to the analysis, control and monitoring of these systems. In addition, they advise customers on the selection and adaptation of hardware and software systems, install them on site and train users.
Typical Places of Work
Computer engineering engineers find employment in companies that develop, manufacture and distribute hardware and software for technical systems.
Salary
The salary level for Engineer – technical computer science in Germany is:
from 4604
up to 5819 EUR per month

Why is?
Engineers and engineers for technical informatics develop and program technical applications and computer systems, such as microcomputers for devices of consumer electronics or for the monitoring, control and regulation of industrial plants. They also build computer networks, ensure their smooth operation or create information systems.
Hardware and software development
In hardware development, engineers for computer engineering design and construct computer and process control systems, such as on-board computer and control systems for vehicles or mobile robots, as well as control systems for digitally networked production lines. In doing so, they devote themselves to the conception of analog and digital circuits. You master the programming of customized microprocessors. Also, they are involved in the development of firmware, i. the software, e.g. embedded in "consumer electronics" such as digital cameras or DVD players, in machinery and equipment or measuring systems. When they are active in component management, they support the areas of research and development in terms of component selection, work on development and sample processes of assemblies and are responsible for component test reports and the approval process of components.
In software development, they adapt systems individually to the respective production conditions or organizational structures of a company. For example, if the dimensions of the car doors punched out on computer-controlled machines deviate from those specified by an automobile manufacturer, engineers in engineering informatics locate the bug in the CAM program and correct it. Basically, they develop all types of user programs that control, monitor and optimize industrial processes. They design models that describe the respective technical system and design solutions to detail problems.
Further uses
In addition, engineers in engineering can also work in other fields: Databases, organize the data collection or build data transmission and computer networks. They also take into account security and performance management as well as network interfaces. You work in the network or system administration and IT organization, advise customers, train and support users.
