Once you procure the required qualifications for becoming a Computer Science Engineer, a myriad of options are open to you. There are multiple projects you can undertake throughout this line of work, and there are many other fields you can branch out to as well.

• Reliability Engineer: The reliability engineer conducts key responsibilities to guarantee that plant operations run smoothly. The reliability engineer identifies and manages risks that might result in operating and security concerns. The reliability engineer creates analytical techniques using acquired data to correctly identify the hazards that might affect system functionality. The reliability engineer, for instance, will start interactions with trained technicians to complete FMEA on critical equipment. Analytical findings can be utilized to create a plan for efficiently scheduling maintenance tasks. As a result, the factory may increase its output without losing product quality or operational safety. The reliability engineer is responsible for managing the hazards that an item faces during its complete life cycle. Since an asset's product lifecycle expenses are usually calculated before it is used, reliability engineers may offer value throughout construction of any new or extra assets.
• Network Engineers: Network engineers are the technical specialists in charge of setting up, maintaining, and providing technical assistance to customers on networked computers. Either operating systems are dealt with by network engineers. They conduct hands-on construction and maintenance duties on networking devices such as gateways, switching, and connections on the actual hardware. On the software side, system designers use complicated computer software to monitor network activities and configure network infrastructure. They are in charge of maintaining and improving network security through installing firewalls, as well as resolving issues as they emerge.
• Technical Architects: Technical Architects are a remarkable union, possessing both sophisticated technological and organizational expertise. They play vital roles in the software employment market. A technical architect supervises the formulation and construction of IT structures and serves as a link among the technology and commercial aspects of an organization. A technical architect, also known as an IT Systems Architect, is a system design procurement expert who designs, maintains, and implements IT processes for a young business or IT firm. A technological architect is in charge of overseeing IT project schedules. As a result, they must be familiar with all elements of any system, both from a commercial and technical one. They serve as a conduit between management and designers or programmers.
• Security Architect: A security architect is in charge of creating security architecture to protect a company's computer system against virus and hacker breaches. After these frameworks are in operation, the security architect will verify and analyze the overall structure regarding potential flaws. To properly test the proposed, an external unethical hacker may be required to conduct a comprehensive vulnerability exam to guarantee that it is safe against external assaults. A security architect must have a comprehensive grasp of an organization’s processes to determine who has exposure and what weak areas may exist. Following a comprehensive evaluation, suggestions are presented to update and enhance the safety mechanism using both software and hardware. After that, user policies and procedures are established, observed, and implemented. Finally, safeguards are in place to defend the computer system if an unauthorized user tries to obtain access.
• System Architect: System Architects are responsible for the design, configuration, operation, and management of communications and computer software, which include equipment, programming, software platforms, internet and intranet connections, firewalls, databases, and cybersecurity. To assess a corporation's computer demands, they look at its size, assets, contextual features, intended user experience, and finance. System Architects are responsible for the entire design and maintenance of an IT system and must be educated in this field. System Architects can find work as independent consultants or in small, medium, and big businesses and organizations.
