Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that places and fixes electronic components on printed wiring boards (PCBs), solders them, and assembles circuits using mechanical devices.
Description
Printed wiring board circuit assemblers mount electronic components on printed wiring boards based on design drawings, and complete circuit boards using soldering, reflow, and inspection equipment. Work includes manual operations as well as operating machines such as pick-and-place devices, reflow ovens, and inspection microscopes to produce boards that meet quality standards. The work is centered on manufacturing lines, and improvement proposals for manufacturing efficiency and defect reduction are also required.
Future Outlook
Demand for printed circuit boards for IoT and automotive electronics will continue to expand, but as automation and labor-saving technologies are introduced, the value of personnel with advanced machine operation skills and quality improvement proposal abilities will increase.
