Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Electrical and Electronic Drafters create drawings such as circuit diagrams and wiring diagrams for electrical equipment and electronic devices using CAD or by hand. Based on instructions from designers, they produce accurate drawings and serve as a bridge between manufacturing and construction departments.
Description
Electrical and Electronic Drafters create wiring diagrams, circuit block diagrams, control panel layout drawings, etc., based on specifications and calculation results prepared by designers. They use CAD software (such as AutoCAD and EPLAN) to create and revise drawings, accurately entering dimensions, standards, and annotations. The created drawings are shared with manufacturing and construction departments, contributing to defect prevention and process efficiency. In recent years, the adoption of 3D CAD and BIM tools has also progressed.
Future Outlook
With the increasing sophistication of electrical and electronic devices, demand for circuit design and wiring design remains stable. The spread of BIM and 3D CAD, as well as expansion in IoT and EV fields, requires advanced drafting skills.
