Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Manufacturing Engineers
- Minor : Mechanical Manufacturing Engineers
Summary
Camera manufacturing engineers are technical professionals who perform processing, assembly, adjustment, and inspection of parts in the manufacturing of photographic equipment such as cameras.
Description
Camera manufacturing engineers (excluding production engineers) are involved in the production of parts that require high precision, such as optical lenses and shutter mechanisms. Specifically, they perform metal processing, resin molding, lens grinding, finishing processes, optical adjustments after assembly, and functional inspections. They manage quality using inspection equipment, analyze causes of defects, and consider countermeasures. Specialized knowledge is required, including creating machining programs using CAD/CAM and evaluating dimensions and performance using precision measuring instruments.
Future Outlook
With the increasing demand for camera modules in smartphones and other devices, the need for precision optical component processing technology will be maintained. However, as automation of domestic manufacturing progresses, the proportion of manual labor is decreasing. On the other hand, personnel with precision assembly and adjustment skills for high-value-added markets will continue to be in demand.
