What does an electronics engineer do? 

Electronics engineers primarily design, maintain and develop electronic systems and their related components. Keeping in mind the end users and client needs, an electronics engineer also dabbles with quality control and testing of the electronic components. Being an in-demand job, opportunities for electrical and electronic engineers are extremely common in the defense, telecommunication and robotics fields. From charting out the initial design to testing the prototypes and working on the manufacturing stage, an electronics engineer is vital in the complete development lifecycle of electronic system components. With the end goal to maximise production streams, they work hand-in-hand with technicians to meet their work targets with utmost safety. 

You might hire an electronics engineer to:

  • Develop and maintain devices that come under the category of engineering electronics
  • Satisfy client needs by providing customer support for queries about electrical engineering
  • Inspect, test and improvise system functionality for circuits and appliances that come under the electronics engineer's scope of work
  • Identify technical issues in electrical systems and find the best solutions to overcome the same
  • Ensure that safety guidelines and industry standards are maintained through the development lifecycle of the electrical component
