Summary
Electrical Product Inspectors inspect and evaluate the specifications, quality, and safety of electrical and electronic equipment.
Description
Electrical Product Inspectors are specialists who evaluate the performance and safety of electrical and electronic equipment. They primarily use measuring instruments such as oscilloscopes and multimeters to conduct insulation resistance measurements, withstand voltage tests, functional tests, etc. Inspection items are determined based on product specifications and standards such as JIS and IEC, and they perform defect determination, root cause analysis, and report creation. They contribute to product quality assurance through coordination with production lines and reporting to quality management departments. In recent years, automated inspection equipment and AI-based image inspection are being introduced, requiring measurement data analysis skills and system operation abilities.
Future Outlook
With the high functionalization of electrical and electronic products and increasing quality demands, the need for precision inspection technology is steadily increasing. Inspection demand for IoT devices and automotive electronic components is expected to rise, and as automation and AI inspection technologies advance, skills in measurement data analysis and system operation will be required.
