• Development of an electronic product, selection of components and materials
• Acceptance of printed circuit boards
• Assembly of electronic components and modules
• Acceptance of electronic components and modules
• Electronic documentation and document workflow in the development and manufacturing of electronics
• Standardization and certification of equipment
• Standardization and technical information on advanced technologies used in the production of enclosures and interconnections
• Handling electronic components, materials and other products, etc.
