The field of
electronics has a lot of career choices and job opportunities in sales,
creativity and technical aspects of the industry. In order to land a job in the
electronics sector, you are required to have the appropriate education. Once
you start gaining work experience, you can enjoy a long and fruitful career.
Common jobs and
electronics careers
Electronics engineers
bear responsibility for a host of technologies ranging from television sets to
GPS (Global Positioning Systems). Electronic devices such as computers are also
worked on by most electronics engineers. The skills required for a career in
electronics include signal processing, control systems and communications.
Usually, all electronics engineers have a specialty attached to their title.
For instance, those working for a country’s military forces are called aviation
electronics engineers. The field of electronics also have positions for
analysts who are responsible for controlling the electronic systems of a
variety of equipment.
Electronics
assemblers
As an Electronic
Assembler at Level 1, you will have to combine electronics so as to match the
specifications of a product. A diploma from high school is needed if you’re
looking for such a job. Electronics assemblers must possess adequate knowledge
on the concepts, procedures and practices that are commonly used in the field.
They must also have knowledge about the product they are working on along with
the ability to pre-set guidelines and follow instructions.
Electronics
technicians
Level 1 Electronics
Technicians must construct, test and maintain the components of electrical
systems. A diploma from high school is essential for this kind of job. Those
who have completed apprenticeships and/or received specialized training have a
chance of exploiting job opportunities with high salaries. Electronic
technicians are expected to carry a number of jobs like repair and service of
both business and household electronic equipment. This equipment includes
televisions, computers and radios. Sometimes, electronic technicians are made
to work within a particular field like serving the manufacturing, medical,
telecommunications or military sector.
Electronics engineers
who specialize in repairing home electronics such as televisions, video
cameras, stereos, CD and DVD players, etc. may work in their own shops or take
orders for their services that they can carry out at the homes of their
clients. Bench technicians are the ones who work in their shops while field
technician is the term given to those who visit clients’ homes to repair
equipment. Common duties of both kinds of technicians include the installation
of equipment, tuning of the devices to achieve enhanced visual or sound output,
making and answering service calls and replacing defective parts.
Qualification
required for an electronics career
Individuals
interested in pursuing a career in electronics must lay their foundation stones
in high school. Classes must be attended in mathematics and science during
school and courses in chemistry and physics must be taken in high school.
Higher education will be of great benefits and you must also attend
apprenticeship programs so as to improve your understanding of the subject.
Some positions in the electronics field require advanced oral and written
skills, so an associate’s degree or a Bachelor’s in Science will enable you to
land jobs in recognized and reputable institutions.
