Career paths in this area

Electronics Engineering Technician SOC 17-3023
Electronics engineering technicians build, test, maintain and troubleshoot electronic systems beside engineers — circuits, instrumentation, controllers and the equipment they live in. ⚠ A two-year degree with a $78,190 median: the strongest wage-to-training ratio on this site.
Production Technician and Assembler SOC 51-2092
Assemblers and production workers build what a factory makes. It is one of the largest groups of manufacturing jobs in the country, and the usual way into the industry. ⚠ No credential is required to start. Florida's 150- to 500-hour courses help you get hired at better plants, earn a soldering certification, and start the climb to technician, inspector or supervisor.
Electrical/electronic engineering technologies. The electronics assembler (EEV0010, 10 technical colleges) and electromechanical assembler (EEV0752) courses are electronics completion points, and electronic assembly is the one growing specialty in this family (BLS, +5%).
Semiconductor Technician SOC 51-9141
Semiconductor technicians make microchips: they work in cleanrooms, running and maintaining the tools that pattern, etch, deposit and package silicon. ⚠ A small occupation growing much faster than average, and Florida pays it almost $11,000 above the national median. Florida's programmes are new: an 18-credit cleanroom certificate that stacks into a calculus-based A.S.
Electrical/electronic engineering technologies. Valencia's Semiconductor Engineering Technology A.S. is built on its electronics courses: circuits (EET2036C), digital systems (CET2114C), and semiconductor devices and circuits (EET2141C).
