Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that assembles parts of acoustic equipment such as microphones, and performs adjustments and inspections.
Description
Microphone assemblers combine various parts such as the microphone housing, diaphragm, and cables, completing the product through tasks like soldering and screw tightening. After assembly, they adjust acoustic characteristics, perform operation checks and appearance inspections, and confirm compliance with specified quality standards. The work is often conducted in line operations or cell production methods, requiring precise adherence to procedures and a consistent production speed. In recent years, while automation equipment introduction is progressing, demand is also increasing for skilled workers with high-precision assembly techniques involving fine adjustments.
Future Outlook
Although microphone demand is on an increasing trend due to the spread of IoT and voice recognition technology, job openings for domestic assemblers are expected to remain flat to slightly decrease due to the expanding ratio of overseas production. Skilled workers with high-precision assembly techniques and automation equipment operation managers will continue to be in demand.
