Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technicians who assemble parts that constitute internal combustion engines (gasoline engines or diesel engines) and perform operational inspections.
Description
Internal combustion engine assemblers assemble various parts such as cylinder blocks, pistons, crankshafts, and cylinder heads in a specified order and torque, and inspect and adjust them to meet performance standards. They read assembly drawings, confirm dimensions and tolerances using measuring instruments, and after assembly, conduct startup tests, leak inspections, and vibration and noise checks. The work is mainly team-based on the manufacturing line, and they also engage in quality control and process improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
With the electrification of automobiles progressing, demand for internal combustion engines is expected to gradually decrease, but demand for maintenance and renewal of industrial machinery and existing equipment will continue.
