What are the insights from working as an instrument technician?
Thread Content
Having worked in instrumentation for over a decade, I have many thoughts, both positive and negative. What’s most frustrating is that, as you said, no one believes you.
Some insights on working with instruments: 1. To work with instruments, one must understand the manufacturing processes; otherwise, one will constantly be deceived； 2. To develop instruments, it is necessary to work in collaboration with other specialties; otherwise, their effects or functions cannot be fully realized ； 3. When designing instruments, it is necessary to pay attention to fault tolerance in order to minimize issues caused by errors made by others ； 4. It’s important to understand that one’s work on instruments may not be recognized by others, after all, they don’t know much about instruments ； 5. When working as a meter technician, one needs to consider their own career goals, as the paths for advancement in this field are relatively limited.
To be a meter technician, one needs to have a broad mind as well as a commitment to continuous learning. Being an instrument maker is a form of cultivation. . . Written from the heart
I’ve just started in this field and am learning humbly. . . . . .
Have a clear conscience, be diligent, and study hard*
Hehe, actually no matter how experienced one is, there are always problems that cannot be solved. That’s why having the right mindset is important; one also needs to put effort into solving those unsolvable problems and explain things clearly to the technical staff on site, so as to avoid misunderstandings
No matter how clearly it’s explained, they still don’t understand; they remain unaware. :lol
Always learning*, while also having to deal with accusations from the operators
After experiencing hardship and fatigue, one learns to be tactful; one should not always stick to theoretical values.
It updates quickly, so one must keep learning* and apply theory to practice.
