Electronic Drafters

Job Description: Draw wiring diagrams, circuit board assembly diagrams, schematics, and layout drawings used for manufacture, installation, and repair of electronic equipment.

Electronic Drafters spend a lot of their time Drafting, Laying Out, and Specifying Technical Devices, Parts, and Equipment. They are naturally good at Oral Comprehension, Oral Expression, Written Comprehension, and Near Vision. Electronic Drafters are typically characterized as being Conventional and Realistic. They are usually very knowledgable about Design, Mechanical, and Mathematics and are skilled at Reading Comprehension and Active Listening.
