Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Technician responsible for the manufacturing process of electron tubes (vacuum tubes), performing glass sealing, electrode assembly, evacuation, performance inspection, and more.
Description
Electron tube manufacturing engineers handle a series of processes related to vacuum tube manufacturing. They perform glass tube forming and cutting, electrode material deposition and placement, glass sealing processes, evacuation using vacuum pumps, and quality inspections such as leak tests and emission measurements. They improve yield through the operation and maintenance of manufacturing equipment and the management of process parameters, while maintaining product reliability. High-precision work and safety management are required, and working in clean rooms as well as team collaboration are also important.
Future Outlook
Although demand is declining due to the widespread adoption of semiconductors, niche demand remains for aviation radio, high-power transmitting tubes, and audio equipment, keeping technician demand stable.
