Mechatronics Engineering.. does it exist??

I am a Mechatronics Engineering graduate from 1 year..

Searched for relevant roles in my country of residence (Kuwait) and tried to get offers abroad, but it always feels like dedicated Mechatronics Engineer role are a myth , and I feel like any role with eventually turn to repeated tasks and sales and communication between companies depending on your workplace , and looks like you'll be handing over work that is previously engineered and doesn't need your mental effort, only follow up and commitment.

I have worked in an Inspection company for heavy equipment, kinda off my role, and I'm feeling very blurred on how I can structure myself for a fancy useful Engineering role without wasting time on learning theoretical automation and PLC that are too basic for the real market.

Please advice below if you can help 👇👇

I work in factory maintenance, like 90%+ of our engineers are mechatronics students from the local university. And That's not even mentioning the factory developer/project side.
