Using visual cues, computer software programs and diagnostic tools, electronic field service engineers conduct routine or scheduled inspections of machines and equipment. They test components using measuring devices, such as multimeters, to determine whether parts are faulty. Advanced electrical and electronic knowledge allows them to troubleshoot and solve issues, which may be explained in repair manuals or through work orders issued by the company. Electronic field service engineers may need to clean, replace or install parts to maintain smooth operation of machinery and equipment. Show less
