I am currently working as a Mechanical Design Engineer at one of the Silicon Valley Tech companies.



Recently, I was interviewed by Apple for the Manufacturing Engineer role.



The process is almost done and I think that there will be an offer most definitely.



I just have a lingering doubt/concern that if I take this role, I will not be able to revert back to a Mechanical design engineer role in the future as the places to where I will apply will consider me a manufacturing engineer and not a mechanical design engineer. The job at apple is very similar to what I am doing at my current place but the title is different.



So my question is: Will taking up a job as a manufacturing engineer effect my job prospects to mechanical engineering roles in the future?



Also:
Will companies like Apple entertain my requests if I ask for a slight change in the job title to something like "Mechanical Engineer, Advanced Manufacturing"?



Further details on the Apple role:



This role basically involves Architecting (system-level design) of the manufacturing lines, giving specifications to the vendors in China who build the equipment, reviewing them, validating them. Depending on the individual doing the job, he/she can dig very deep into the technical review and can also suggest very specific parts and designs. So, in a way, this role also has a design component to it. It is quite interesting and I feel is challenging.
