I have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I'm about to start in a new job (2nd one in my life so far), the salary is good the company's name will be great reference in the future, I can learn a lot here -- BUT
I'm so terrified. I didn't think they would hire me. I am a fresh graduate really, I have worked only 1 year since getting my diploma.
Hell I didn't even match with the expectations of the job's description.
They just thought that the work I had been doing for that shallow 1 year, is like super useful for what is ought to be done in this position. I used to be a technical inspector on elevators (most of the time, it is just writing down the missing "directions of use" tables, and requires almost no higher education).
At this new job, I'm about to create safety concepts of servo steering systems, perform safety analyses, and validate the results.
I know shit about this..... I have already accepted the job. What do?

I suppose you'll get some training first

I hope too. The company is ThyssenKrupp Presta, only here in Hungary they have a pool of 600 engineers, so I suppose there are quite a lot of trainings. It's just that I don't hit the basic qualifications of the job, which were the follows:
M.Sc. in mechatronics/electrical engineering
Reliable software and hardware knowledge
Good command of English both verbal and written
Experience in development of embedded system
Experience in safety related project
Knowledge of safety analysis methods
Except for english, I don't have shit for this

I suggest that you go on libgen right now and start reading on those topics then.

Another option is to stay around for a week or two and see if you can manage. If you can't I believe that talking to a senior engineer about your lack of qualifications and seeing if they can arrange something for you is better than getting fired.

I'm in the same position dude, I've just got a job with a shit load of responsibility, based upon what I've done at uni. I'm scared I'm going to flop, but it'll set me up for life if I don't.

Why dont you have masters?
>>
>>9026709
A lot of companies overstate the minimum qualifications. I'm not sure why they do this, but it's very common practice, and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have something to do with limiting the hire's ability to negotiate a competitive salary. I think you'll be fine. It's also easier and cheaper to train college graduates than it is to find an engineer who's actually qualified.

that gives some confidence, thanks

Don't worry OP, the more experience you get in the workforce the more you'll realize how little the "required knowledge" matters. As long as you're willing to learn and work hard, you'll get the training and help you'll need from coworkers. If you fuck up a couple of times, learn from those mistakes and keep it moving.

Thanks, that is new info

I am planning to do one, it's just that I have had enough of learning for now (after a continuous 16 years of education....)
But right now I'm 23, so even if I had started the masters asap, it would be my 2nd semester now, and wouldn't have gotten even to the interview of this job. So I guess it's not worth it sometimes

try your best.
