Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Job involving evaluating the electrical and physical characteristics of sensor elements using measurement devices for product quality control and development support.
Description
Sensor element testers use electronic measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, LCR meters, and spectrum analyzers to measure and record the electrical characteristics, temperature characteristics, and frequency characteristics of sensor elements before and after manufacturing. They analyze measurement data to determine compliance with specifications and identify defects, providing feedback to quality control and research and development departments. They are also responsible for calibrating measurement devices, preparing samples, setting measurement conditions, and creating result reports. Work often requires clean rooms and controlled temperature and humidity environments.
Future Outlook
Demand is increasing due to the expansion of IoT and automotive sensor markets. Introduction of AI-utilizing automated measurement systems is advancing, requiring personnel with advanced data analysis capabilities.
