Electronics & electrical
I'm an IPC-certified electronics technician (J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610) with an A.A.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology. Day to day that means X-ray, AOI and visual inspection of circuit board assemblies, SMT and through-hole rework, and electro-mechanical builds. Before that I trained on and supported semiconductor fab equipment. Below are the skills I use, where I've used them, and reference notes I've written up.
Building boards and assemblies, and proving they meet the standard.
Measuring first, then fixing the actual fault.
Supporting semiconductor tools where contamination matters.
Enough code and CAD to design, simulate and talk to hardware.

A step-by-step method for measuring key-off current draw with a multimeter and narrowing it down to a single circuit.
What the IPC-A-610 acceptability standard covers, how its product classes and inspection conditions work, and the solder defects that come up most often at the bench.
