Industry & Occupation

Engineering & Manufacturing

Classification

Summary

General-purpose electronic computer assemblers are manufacturing technicians who assemble parts of computer main units and peripheral devices, perform wiring, soldering, and operation tests.

Description

General-purpose electronic computer assemblers assemble parts such as motherboards, chassis, power units, and input/output devices based on drawings and procedures. They implement ESD (static electricity prevention) measures and use soldering irons and torque drivers for wiring and fixing. After assembly, they conduct operation tests and performance inspections, and adjust or correct defective areas. Work in clean rooms or team line production is common, and they collaborate with quality control and production technology departments for process improvements.

Future Outlook

While mass production in Japan is shifting overseas, demand for assembly technicians continues for high-end, small-lot specialized equipment and customized products. With advances in automation and robotics, advanced skills and quality management abilities are required.
