The profession is a radio engineer. Radio engineering: specialty or vocation? Features of the profession. Professional qualities of a specialist

Radio technician - specialist in the assembly, configuration, testing and operation of radio engineering systems and devices. The profession is suitable for those who are interested in physics, mathematics and drawing (see choosing a profession for your interest in school subjects).

Features of the profession

A radio technician is a household, colloquial designation of a specialist in instrument making. The official name of the specialty is radio apparatus engineering.

This profession is related to the profession of radio mechanics. The difference is that a radio technician knows how not only to repair electronic devices and systems, but can also design them independently.

If for the repair and maintenance of radio electronics, primary vocational education is usually (although not always) sufficient, then hardware engineering requires at least a secondary specialized education (technical school level).

A radio technician can be responsible for organizing and assembling radio technical devices and systems, and adjusting them according to existing technology and technical documentation. It can also participate in the development of new models of devices, their calculation and design.

Electronic technology is constantly evolving through the efforts of such specialists and development engineers. But the development technologies themselves do not stand still. For the design of devices, for planning the assembly and installation technology, modern specialists use special computer programs, the so-called computer-aided design systems.

Newly developed devices, assemblies and systems are always subject to certification tests. This is also done by radio technicians.

The profession of radio engineering, like any other, leaves a special imprint on a person. For example, a radio technician has a special relationship to the devices that surround us in everyday life. He, like no one else, can appreciate the quality of a TV or DVD-player. Unlike an ordinary TV lover, a radio technician is able to appreciate not only the image quality, but also the beauty of engineering, the build quality.

As a rule, people come to this profession, since childhood, fascinated by radio electronics, enjoying the design of radio transmitters or robots, hours of fiddling with boards, parts and working with a soldering iron.

Workplace

A radio technician with a diploma of secondary vocational education can work in production, in a design bureau, repair shops, etc. as an installer, controller of electronic devices, technologist and even an electronic engineer.

How do you think this specialty is in demand in the present and near future? Is it possible at least some kind of employment in the vastness of our homeland?
Of course, it is in demand - someone has to maintain radio communication on antediluvian equipment in the army.

Do you think a radio technician would be better?

03.07.2013, 21:51

But at the same time I would like to work with computers, computer equipment. Therefore, I chose the specialty "Radio Engineering".

Hmm, we chose a good specialty, it's a pity that most of these "specialists" cannot distinguish a diode from a resistor at work: mad :.

03.07.2013, 22:04

artsite1.0, and what qualifications will be?

03.07.2013, 22:13

a radio technician in cellular and telephone networks earns as a very good programmer, and the head does not think so much and the brain does not wear out, and the eyes from the computer do not break, and there will be no hemorrhoids. So everything is OK. RTF himself finished. I was very pleased with the past 5.5 years, very much! (by the way, the modeling and design of circuitry on a computer was very useful, absorbed everything like a sponge, and repeatedly came in handy in life, they made a special robot on an android and also a game machine :) ...) In addition, in radio engineering, military special equipment will have air defense and radar, there the lieutenant starts from 120 thousand rubles, so if grandmas are needed, you can rush there. The work is dust-free.

04.07.2013, 00:15

Good day! Who are you, kind members of the forum, will you advise me to go to study? Namely, to say whether I made the right choice of specialty. I don't want to be a pure programmer - that's not mine. But at the same time I would like to work with computers, computer equipment. Therefore, I chose the specialty "Radio Engineering". How do you think this specialty is in demand in the present and near future? Is it possible at least some kind of employment in the vastness of our homeland?
Or spit on everything and become me a gore programmer, an undersystem administrator))? Any points of opinion will be interesting, but without flooding :)

Now my little brother gets a job in the police, in the technical department. He graduated from FIS and regrets not being radiotech. If you love pieces of iron, that's it. And the specialty is generally in demand, in the cop at the young lieutenant's salary is under fifty dollars. And in general there is a lot of equipment, it is necessary to maintain / repair it. A competent hardware specialist is always in the price.

P.S. And about the sysadmin and programmer, it depends purely on the desire. It will be interesting on your own, no one bothers to master.

04.07.2013, 00:41

It is interesting, of course, that two professions are compared in general from different "weight categories". Both a programmer and a radio engineer cannot always combine these two hypostases. The programmer may not even know how to depict, for example, an amplifying stage on a composite transistor or how to correctly calculate and wind a low-frequency transformer. However, a radio engineer cannot always correctly write a program for calculating the current strength for a section of the circuit at a given voltage and resistance.
In general, I mean that you have to go to study in the specialty, to which profession the soul lies. If you study without interest, then you can fly out from the first or, at most, from the second year, without completing your studies at all. Or become an awesome specialist who, as a result, after graduating from university (institute, academy), will go to the store as a sales manager.
And you can get an interesting profession of a radio engineer and, if you want to increase your knowledge and your applicability, go to the programmer.
In addition, you can go into business after training.

I have two diplomas:
microelectronics (manufacturing of microcircuits) and programmer

As I received my first diploma, there was nothing to do. I went to the polytechnic.
Shas I work as a programmer for the bourgeoisie ...

In this life, there is generally an imbalance in earnings. You can not really own any specialty and cut a decent babos, but you can be an excellent specialist and get a penny. It's all about the level you managed to jump to, and this is also useful when a person already practically knows that there is a lot of freebies, but, on the other hand, there is no freebie at all;)

TS, it is not the name of the specialty that is important, but the ability to own it.
In 90% of cases, people do not work for whom they studied. The value of our education is not in "specialties", but in the social circle and (if taught) knowledge / skills to find and apply the necessary information.

I am a radio technician by education. Goreradio technician in essence. It would be better if I went to a programmer. But in my youth, somehow the task of entering wherever you want, I did not know how to solve.

As I later understood (and according to the head of the department, when I congratulated on graduation), radio engineering is the most difficult specialty in the Polytechnic. It was boring all five years. The most interesting things that I went through in high school were HTML, TurboPascal, English, Boolean logic and digital devices (multiplexers, etc.), modulation, demodulation, radar.

Much of the study is about radio signals in their mathematical form. Graphs, integrals, differentials, various transformations. And of course, the simplest devices and circuits that work with these signals and are part of complex microcircuits. But many disciplines were not clear to me. For example, automation. It seems that they should learn something that is automatically executed, something related to programming and maybe to robotics. In fact, these are super-clever formulas for transforming something into something ...

A radio technician is a strong specialist and is in demand in many industries. If you are passionate about it, you will find a worthy place. The question is if you like it. I didn't like it. I liked and love information technology. And I made my real choice after graduation.

You should study this specialty if you really, really, really want to know:

How a high frequency signal is converted to sound (low frequency signal) and vice versa.
- how an electronic thermometer works
- how a television signal is encrypted and decrypted
- how noise in signal transmission is removed
- how the sound amplifier works
- how they work and why are microcircuits needed
- how the radar works
- about electrics (transistors, capacitors, resistors, stages, filters, amplifiers, inductors, etc., etc.)
and many other interesting things.

At the university, amid the full-scale boredom in study, there will be answers to these questions. Moreover, they are divided into technical and mathematical parts.

We have a radio factory in the city. Average salary 40-45tr. Average in the city 23-25. And still friends of acquaintances successfully produce and sell some capacitor installations: crazy:
In general, in addition to the specialty, you also need a smart one.

A radio technician is a household, colloquial designation of a specialist in instrument making. The official name of the specialty is radio apparatus engineering.

Like any other technology, electronic equipment is undergoing changes, it is being improved. To assemble an electronic device, you need to perform a lot of manipulations. Installation operations (electrical connection of individual elements of equipment) are final. This procedure is performed by radio technicians.

They are engaged in the assembly and tuning of radio devices and electronic equipment. The radio technician installs external radio components on the boards (special diagrams with designated places of fastening of parts and the location of wires), performs node assembly and electrical installation according to wiring and schematic diagrams, assembles units on the chassis and inter-node electrical installation, using soldering, gluing, wire and printed wiring.

Personal qualities

This profession is for those who like working with equipment, digging into small details. For the attentive and diligent.

Education (What you need to know?)

Fundamentals of radio and television technology, principles of operation and operation of equipment, rules for repairing, tuning and adjusting radio and television equipment, rules for using control and measuring devices.

The most important thing in this work is to understand how the processes occur within this or that apparatus, to be able to think logically. After all, radio magnetic waves and radio beams are invisible and intangible things, however, you need to be able to imagine their movement and propagation.

Place of work and career

It is not difficult to find a place - radio engineering services are needed today at any medium or large enterprise. These are factories producing various equipment (from household appliances to military ones), scientific research institutes, medical institutions, video and audio salons, television studios. Many college graduates go to work in the rapidly developing field of cellular communications, where there is a lack of specialists who understand radio electronic equipment.
