Electronics technician for devices and systems
Are you interested in electronics? Do you value individuality? Standard solutions are not your thing? Then a device and system electronics technician could be the right academic appointment for you. In this job, you will develop individual ideas and solutions for every task and every customer request. In the electronics workshop at the University of Oldenburg, for example, devices and systems are developed, electronic circuits are designed and samples and unique items are built for research and teaching.
What does an electronics technician for devices and systems actually do?
Electronics technicians for devices and systems work in the development and manufacture of components, devices and systems as well as in service.
They install and configure programmes, program interfaces, work with English-language documents, test components, devices and systems and create technical documentation, sometimes in English.
They select mechanical, electrical and electronic components, customise them, assemble them into systems and coordinate their work with upstream and downstream areas. They often work in teams.
Electronics technicians for devices and systems are qualified electricians as defined by the accident prevention regulations.
How does the training work?
In the first few weeks, the apprentices acquire mechanical skills and knowledge of working with various materials.
In the electronics workshop, skills and knowledge of electrical engineering/electronics are taught in accordance with the job description.
In addition to the practical training at the university, the apprentices attend the BBS Wilhelmshaven.
Part 1 of the final examination is carried out shortly before the end of the 2nd year of training. The result accounts for 40% of the final result.
The apprenticeship usually lasts 3 1/2 years and ends with part 2 of the skilled worker examination.
What requirements do I need to fulfil?
As a prerequisite, you should have a good secondary school leaving certificate or a higher school qualification. Good performance is particularly important in the subjects of maths and physics, but also in English. You should have an interest in electromechanics/electrical engineering as well as the ability to think logically and abstractly.
Who will train me?
The responsible trainer is Jens Arne Jenn, but the colleagues in the electronics workshop will also accompany the training.
