Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Potentiometer assemblers are manufacturing workers who precisely assemble, adjust, and inspect measuring instruments such as potentiometers (voltmeters).
Description
Potentiometer assemblers assemble parts according to circuit diagrams and assembly drawings, performing tasks such as soldering, screw tightening, and torque management. After completion, they use dedicated calibration equipment to adjust deviations from standard voltages and inspect measurement accuracy. They record measurement data, correct or report defective products, and are required to maintain a clean work environment as well as manage safety and quality.
Future Outlook
While automation and IoT advancements will lead to replacement by automated assembly lines, demand for skilled workers with micro-precision assembly skills is expected to remain.
