> Assemble or modify electrical or electronic equipment, such as computers, test equipment telemetering systems, electric motors, and batteries.

- **SOC code:** 51-2022.00
- **Canonical URL:** https://singulariki.com/roles/role-51-2022-00
- **Also known as:** Assembler, Electrical Assembler, Electronics Assembler, Transformer Assembler, Assembly Worker, Electronic Assembler, Factory Assembler, Manufacturing Assembler
- **Frame:** "AI exposure" means task overlap (how codifiable the work is), not jobs lost or a forecast. Every figure below is traced to a named public dataset.

## What this work is

**Core tasks** (O*NET):
- Read and interpret schematic drawings, diagrams, blueprints, specifications, work orders, or reports to determine materials requirements or assembly instructions.
- Assemble electrical or electronic systems or support structures and install components, units, subassemblies, wiring, or assembly casings, using rivets, bolts, soldering or micro-welding equipment.
- Inspect or test wiring installations, assemblies, or circuits for resistance factors or for operation, and record results.
- Adjust, repair, or replace electrical or electronic components to correct defects and to ensure conformance to specifications.
- Position, align, or adjust workpieces or electrical parts to facilitate wiring or assembly.
- Mark and tag components so that stock inventory can be tracked and identified.
- Explain assembly procedures or techniques to other workers.
- Clean parts, using cleaning solutions, air hoses, and cloths.
- Drill or tap holes in specified equipment locations to mount control units or to provide openings for elements, wiring, or instruments.
- Measure and adjust voltages to specified values to determine operational accuracy of instruments.
- Complete, review, or maintain production, time, or component waste reports.
- Distribute materials, supplies, or subassemblies to work areas.

## AI exposure & outlook

- **AI task-overlap index:** 24th percentile (Low) across all occupations — composite of current-era exposure studies (ai-exposure-index-v1).
- **Overall AI exposure (Felten et al.):** 31st percentile (Low) — source: felten_aioe.
- **LLM task exposure, γ (OpenAI / Eloundou):** 20th percentile (Low) — source: eloundou_gamma.
- **Frey–Osborne (2013, historical computerization estimate):** 89th percentile — kept separate from current-era studies.
- **Remote-capable (Dingel–Neiman):** no — task structure, not who actually works remote.
