A mechanician is an engineer or a scientist working in the field of

mechanics of materials
. Names other than mechanician have been used occasionally, such as mechaniker and mechanicist.

The term mechanician is also used by the

Able Ratings.[1]
The rate was only applied to certain technical specialists and no longer exists.

In the

Telecom New Zealand in 1987, "Mechanician" was a job classification for workers who serviced telephone exchange switching equipment. The term seems to have originated in the era of the 7A Rotary system exchange, and was superseded by "Technician" circa 1975, perhaps because "Mechanician" was no longer considered appropriate after the first 2000 type Step-byStep Strowger switch exchanges began to be introduced in 1952 (in Auckland, at Birkenhead
exchange).

It is also the term by which makers of mechanical

automata
use in reference to their profession.
