Are you the go-to person when someone’s television breaks? Do you love to tinker with wires and circuits? A job as an electronics technician gives you the opportunity to apply your love of electronics to a real-world career in advanced manufacturing.

An electronics technician doesn’t perform the same job every day. Instead, you’ll show up to a different task with every new work day. Your job will be to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair electronic equipment used in manufacturing processes. The electronic equipment is very diverse, which means that your days will be varied and exciting. Your problem solving skills will be put to work as you study diagrams, read gauges, and take measurements in order to repair malfunctioning machines. You’ll use your own set of tools to fix the machines, running tests to make sure that they’re back up in working order when you’ve finished.

You’ll work under a maintenance supervisor, and depending on the size of the company, you might be working on a team of other electronics technicians. It’s important to be able to communicate with others, especially through written language, as you’ll be filing reports detailing the problems you fixed.

Electronics technicians are expected to use the principles of electronic technology daily so it’s important to have a good knowledge base. A Technical degree is the best way to learn the principles, but there are also apprenticeship and training programs.
