I thought of compiling all the various designations engineers get in IT companies, their meaning and the type of job engineers perform at various designations. I'm sure it would help many CEans working in IT companies, will work in IT companies or just curious about the hierarchy in IT companies.
Let's get started. Feel free to ask for the designation you wish to know more about and let's build up an interesting discussion. I'll set the ball rolling.
Member Of Technical Staff: (MTS)
This designation is usually awarded to fresh graduate engineers in the first year of their work experience in the company. The actual designation may be different in various companies (as we'll discuss in this thread).
Meaning: As the name suggests, it's the destination given to engineers who are a part of Programming, Coding, Quality Engineering or sometimes Networking Teams.
Type Of Job, roles & responsibilities: The MTS are put through training on various domains for the first 1-3 months of their professional career. Once trained, they are made to join the ongoing or new projects. They are given simpler responsibilities like coding, testing, networking according to their skills. They are also responsible for providing support to the clients. The MTS will also be asked to attend calls with clients and answer any questions asked by the clients. Their responsibilities usually do not include review of other team-mates' work.

What is the role and responsibility of system analyst??
@durga ch • 08 Apr, 2011
system analyst role is mainly maintenance role. It involves health monitoring of system and underlying boxes, troubleshooting . It as well involves solution enhancement based on current performance of the system, submitting reports and representing the system in business meetings thus passing through the business requirements to the developers.

Hi,
I am working in a machinery manufacturing industry and have recently got some new responsibilities of handling export import and banking documentation as well. Whereas I am doing technical work too as per my bachelor's degree in mechanical.
What designation should I keep on my visiting card which can justify these job role.
Please help
@Kaustubh Katdare • 01 Jul, 2018
@Ankul - Ideally it should be the designation assigned to you by our employer. You haven't told us your current (or previous) designation and years of experience you have.
Your job seems to be managerial one, and it could have any designation from "xyz Manager" or "VP of xyz".
More information is needed about your industry experience, previous designation, etc.
@Ankul Oriya • 01 Jul, 2018
Currently I have been assigned as junior engineer. With 2year exp. But now I have given the mentioned work too.
My employer has asked me about designation that's why I have asked the question
@Kaustubh Katdare • 01 Jul, 2018
@Ankul - please continue the discussion in the new discussion that you've created.
