From printed circuit board assembler to surface-mount technology machine operator

10 of the 18 essential skills of a surface-mount technology machine operator are already essential for a printed circuit board assembler — about 56% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from printed circuit board assembler in the whole taxonomy.

These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a surface-mount technology machine operator does

Surface-mount technology machine operators use surface-mount technology (SMT) machines to mount and solder small electronic components onto printed circuit boards to create surface-mounted devices (SMD).

8 skills

Essential for a surface-mount technology machine operator and not for a printed circuit board assembler. Note that the taxonomy describes activities rather than tools, so some of these may be things you already do under a different name.
