Coil winders, tapers, and finishers

The work of coil winders, tapers, and finishers can be divided into three connected but independent work surfaces. The first is winding work and equipment tending: reviewing work orders and specifications to determine the required materials and the types of parts to be processed, operating or tending winding machines to wind coils for resistors and transformers and for electrical equipment such as forms, motors, and generators, selecting and loading materials such as workpieces, objects, and machine parts onto the winding equipment, adjusting the equipment and tending the run to a cycle time, and stopping the machine and using tools to remove the finished part. The second is end, insulation, and coating treatment: using hand tools to terminate, reconnect, and trim materials such as wire, insulation, and coils, using pliers and wire strippers to cut, strip, and bend the wire ends at the coil ends, using sheet insulation to line the slots and inserting the coils into the slots, and using hand tools to apply solution or varnish to wound electrical parts and bake them. The third is inspection and testing and maintenance records: using measuring devices to inspect and test wound electrical parts such as motors, armatures, and stators and recording the test results, using hand tools to disassemble and assemble motors and to repair and maintain electrical parts and machine parts, and recording production and operating data on the required forms.

Operate or tend winding machines to wind wire into coils for electrical components and electrical equipment, and complete end treatment, insulation, and inspection and testing

Read the work order and specification → select and load materials and workpieces → wind and tend to the cycle time → cut, strip, and bend the ends → insert insulation and apply coating and bake → electrical test and record

Wind usable coils to specification and complete electrical testing and traceable production and test records

Check the work order and materials → load and set the winding parameters → wind and tend the run → end and insulation treatment → inspect or electrical test → record data and hand over

Work order and specification check records, winding parameter and first-article confirmation records, end and insulation treatment records, electrical test and measurement result records, coating and baking records, equipment inspection and anomaly handling records, and shift handover records.

Common adjacent positions include motor and power tool repairers, aircraft structure, surfaces, rigging, and systems assemblers, electrical and electronic equipment assemblers, engine and other machine assemblers, timing device assemblers and adjusters, and machine feeders and offbearers. On boundaries: motor and power tool repairers focus on fault diagnosis and repair; aircraft structure, surfaces, rigging, and systems assemblers focus on aviation structures and systems; electrical and electronic equipment assemblers cover a broader range of component assembly; engine and other machine assemblers lean more toward complete mechanical and electrical combinations; timing device assemblers and adjusters focus on precision timing devices; machine feeders and offbearers mainly feed equipment and remove finished products; this occupation centers on forming and finishing coils and is responsible for their electrical performance and traceable records.

Wind wire steadily into qualified coils under safety and specification constraints and leave reviewable production and test records

Work to a cycle time at the winding and test stations in a manufacturing workshop; equipment guarding, hazardous energy isolation, and electrical testing follow employer and applicable regulatory requirements

Based on the work order and specification, winding parameters, wire gauge and turns, end and insulation condition, electrical test results, and equipment and safety procedures

Motor and tool repair focuses on repairing, maintaining, and installing motor circuits and switches, and the sample includes Electric Motor Winder; winding and repair can overlap, and fault repair and coil manufacturing are not treated as mutually exclusive classifications.

Read the work order, load materials, wind and tend, end and insulation, electrical test and record, escalate anomalies

Electrical and electronic equipment assemblers cover a broader range of component assembly and complete-unit connection; this occupation's output centers on the finished wound coil and its electrical test results

Work order and specification check records, winding parameter and first-article records, end and insulation treatment records, electrical test results, coating and baking records, equipment inspection and anomaly records

Feeding and offbearing center on material flow, while this occupation centers on coil forming and inspection records; duties may overlap, and authority cannot be inferred from the name alone.

Safety first; guards must not be bypassed for hazardous operation on one's own, and for applicable internal maintenance or jam clearing, energy must first be controlled through procedure; electrical exposure, testing, and re-energization follow the actual qualification procedures, and workstation posture and persistent discomfort are escalated according to assessment. US 1910.212 requires appropriate machine guarding at the point of operation and at in-running and rotating parts, and hand tools cannot replace guarding; guards must not be removed or bypassed for hazardous operation on one's own, and maintenance disassembly follows the actual control procedure, and not all disassembly is treated as prohibited. US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean work may be performed energized at will. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal.

This page presents task and output boundaries and does not constitute any position authorization or electrical work permit statement

The O*NET new entrant education requirement is 57% high school equivalent, 41% postsecondary non-degree certificate, and 2% below high school, not incumbent education or Chinese hiring; JobZone1–2/SVP below 6 is a preparation grouping, not a uniform individual duration. The US OOH Assemblers and Fabricators parent group usually requires a high school equivalent and several months of on-the-job training, and advanced assembly requires experience or training, with some employers requiring specialized training or an associate degree; electrical and electronic assembly in aviation and defense and similar fields may require soldering certification, which cannot be turned into a uniform qualification for all coil winders.

Chinese position classification and specific training authorization must be checked against the workpiece, equipment, and tasks, and this round did not check a one-to-one equivalent detailed category and does not substitute a classification entry point for that check. NBS2025 Tables 2 and 5 manufacturing C non-private 113,594 / private 76,055 yuan per year is the whole-category annual average wage background for manufacturing units by main activity, not the median, starting pay, or monthly pay for coil winders; the precise Chinese national occupational wage, regions, and a one-to-one mapping were not obtained this round.

The conclusions apply only to the O*NET and BLS bases and periods labeled on this page

Cross-position comparisons cannot rely on name similarity alone; workpiece type, winding method, test requirements, and safety requirements differ, and similar tasks do not mean the positions are interchangeable

Six recurring occupational judgments: whether winding parameters, wire gauge, and turns meet the specification; whether end stripping, bending, and insulation insertion are sound; whether electrical test and measurement results meet standard and are documented; whether equipment guards and hazardous energy isolation are in place; whether repetitive motion and awkward twisting postures are controlled; and whether production and test records are traceable.

Judgment one: whether winding parameters, wire gauge, and turns meet the specification

Check wire gauge, turns, tension, and layer arrangement against the work order, confirm the first article before batch winding, and stop the machine to adjust when a turn deviation or uneven layering appears rather than covering it up with later trimming.

Judgment two: whether end stripping, bending, and insulation insertion are sound

Handle the ends to the specified strip length and bend angle to avoid damaging the wire or leaving burrs; fit the insulation sheet and slot by process and do not force it in, which can crush the wire.

Judgment three: whether electrical test and measurement results meet standard and are documented

Complete measurement and electrical testing to procedure and record the results; when a deviation or insulation anomaly appears, isolate the item first and report it rather than writing the test record as a pass.

Judgment four: whether equipment guards and hazardous energy isolation are in place

US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority. US 1910.212 requires appropriate machine guarding at the point of operation and at in-running and rotating parts, and hand tools cannot replace guarding; guards must not be removed or bypassed for hazardous operation on one's own, and maintenance disassembly follows the actual control procedure, and not all disassembly is treated as prohibited.

Judgment five: whether repetitive motion and awkward twisting postures are controlled

Editorial human factors check: assess force posture, repetition intensity, and duration, prioritize checking engineering improvements such as workstation and tools, and then arrange task rotation or breaks on site, escalating persistent discomfort promptly. The NIOSH general risk guidance supports assessment of repetition, force, posture, and duration, intensity, and frequency, and is not an incidence rate or personal diagnosis for this occupation. Engineering elimination, substitution, and tool and workstation changes come first, with management controls such as rotation and rest as a supplement, and PPE cannot replace more effective measures; the specific plan is determined by the actual assessment, and no uniform break duration is given.

Judgment six: whether production and test records are traceable

Write the work order number, material batch, winding parameters, test results, anomaly handling, and time clearly so that others can review under what conditions this coil was wound and tested.

Coil winders, tapers, and finishers wind wire into coils used in electrical components (such as resistors and transformers) and in electrical equipment and instruments (such as field cores, forms, armature cores, motors, generators, and control devices). The typical closed loop is reading the work order and specification, selecting and loading materials and workpieces, winding and tending to the cycle time, cutting, stripping, and bending the ends, inserting insulation and applying coating and baking, and electrical testing and recording data; equipment guarding, hazardous energy isolation, and electrical testing must follow applicable regulations and employer rules.

This page follows the exact occupation basis of O*NET-SOC 51-2021.00 (Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers; page updated in 2026): this occupation winds wire into coils used in electrical components (such as resistors and transformers) and in electrical equipment and instruments (such as field cores, forms, armature cores, motors, generators, and control devices). The interest code is RC (realistic, conventional), the preparation level is Job Zone 1-2 (little or some preparation), and SVP is below 6.0; the education distribution on the page shows 57% of respondents answering that a high school diploma or equivalent is required, 41% answering that a postsecondary certificate is required, and 2% answering below high school diploma (the page shows only these three bands); the occupation page does not mark Bright Outlook for this code. The new entrant education questionnaire is not incumbent education; there are 11 tasks, 7 core and 4 supplemental, and the tasks do not grant electrical work authority.

The OEWS2025 national annual wage 10/25/50/75/90 percentiles are 37,540/42,050/48,220/58,770/63,300 US dollars, and the hourly wages are 18.05/20.21/23.18/28.26/30.43 US dollars. The 50th percentile is the median, and the on average abbreviation on the page is not used to derive a mean. Percentiles are not entry-level starting pay; region, employer, shift, seniority, and employment form must be checked specifically.

The National Bureau of Statistics 2025 average annual wage of urban unit employees in manufacturing is 113,594 yuan for non-private and 76,055 yuan for private (released 2026-05-15). This is an industry average reference for manufacturing employers, not this occupation's median, starting pay, or take-home income. This round did not obtain a Chinese national wage distribution corresponding exactly to this occupation.

BLS Table 1.2 SOC51-2021: 2025 employment 12.9 thousand → 2035 projection 12.4 thousand, net change -0.5 thousand, change -4.0%, and annual average openings 1.2 thousand; the self-employment share is listed as "—" and is not filled with 0 or given a specific share. Openings include growth and replacement of transfers and exits, not a net annual increase; a national projection is not personal hiring or an AI cause. O*NET2025 industry manufacturing 92% and other 8% is an employment structure, not industry wages.

The O*NET software catalogue has 3 categories: motor testing, drawing display, and winding control; Hot2025 has 0 listable hiring terms for the United States, which cannot be used to infer no software demand, a zero mention rate, or zero AI adoption. The original context percentages are respondent categories, not a guarantee for every position; 100% daily common PPE does not mean everyone must wear every listed item simultaneously.

Communication and collaboration｜43% take part in face-to-face discussions every day and 52% at least once a week but not every day; 42% consider collaborating with a work group or team extremely important, 24% very important, and 13% important. Hand work and physical effort｜87% use hands continuously or almost continuously to handle and feel tools and workpieces; 83% perform repetitive motions continuously and 16% about half the time; the work combines fine hand work with equipment tending. Accuracy and autonomy｜92% consider being exact or highly accurate extremely important; 46% have a great deal of freedom to make decisions, 17% some freedom, and 36% limited freedom. Environmental exposure and working conditions｜57% are exposed to contaminants (gases, dust, odors) every day and 29% at least once a week but not every day; 53% are exposed to distracting or uncomfortable noise every day; 41% may be exposed to minor burns, cuts, or bites every day. Protective and safety equipment｜100% wear common protective or safety equipment every day (safety shoes, protective glasses, gloves, hearing protection, hard hats, and so on); the specific equipment and machine guarding are determined by the employer's hazard assessment and the equipment instructions. Time and pace｜39% face strict deadlines every day and 45% at least once a week but not every day; the winding cycle time and downstream delivery constrain each other. Scope of responsibility and impact｜44% have very high responsibility for the health and safety of others and 14% fairly high responsibility; defects in turns, ends, and insulation affect downstream assembly and complete-unit reliability. Workplace and working environment｜Mainly a manufacturing workshop (industry distribution: manufacturing 92%, other industries 8%); 44% are indoors without environmental control every day, 16% every week, and 29% never in a controlled indoor environment, so it cannot be said uniformly that the environment is controlled. Boundaries and authorization｜Equipment guards, hazardous energy isolation, and electrical testing are assessed and configured by the employer under applicable regulations and rules; guards must not be bypassed for hazardous operation on one's own, and for maintenance or jam clearing hazardous energy must be isolated through the applicable procedure, with testing and maintenance beyond one's duties escalated through process. 86% report a typical 40-hour week and 14% more than 40; a context answer does not equal legal authority. US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean work may be performed energized at will. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal.

The six directions share electrical and mechanical common sense, fine operation, working to documents, and quality record habits. The main difference is the object: repairers handle fault repair, aviation assembly handles aviation parts using the corresponding process documents, electrical and electronic assembly covers many kinds of parts, machine assembly leans toward complete units, timing devices deal with precision mechanisms, and feeding and offbearing focus on material flow; this occupation mainly forms and finishes coils. There is no same-basis evidence to rank these directions by document strictness or level of responsibility.

The comparison basis is the public tasks, work objects, and outputs of this occupation and the listed adjacent occupations; the fixed occupation links are used for locating, and the comparison is an editorial compilation and does not constitute authorization or mutual recognition of qualifications.

The table below compares positions and occupations adjacent to this occupation: motor and power tool repairers, aircraft structure, surfaces, rigging, and systems assemblers, electrical and electronic equipment assemblers, engine and other machine assemblers, timing device assemblers and adjusters, and machine feeders and offbearers. The four columns respectively answer the same kinds of questions: what this direction does, where the key difference from this occupation lies, and what kind of person is better suited to choose it.

Motor and power tool repairers focus on fault diagnosis and repair, with damaged or to-be-maintained motors and tools as their object; this occupation centers on winding wire into qualified coils to specification and documenting the electrical test results.

People willing to do troubleshooting and repair suit that direction; people willing to wind steadily to specification and check piece by piece suit this occupation.

Mainly fault diagnosis, repair, and trial run records.

Motor and power tool repairers

Aircraft structure, surfaces, rigging, and systems assembly centers on assembling and aligning aviation structures and control systems, using the corresponding dimensional, torque, and traceability documents; this occupation centers on coil forming, end and insulation treatment, and inspection. Different product requirements cannot be used to rank them high or low.

People willing to work to strict documents in an aviation assembly environment suit that direction; people willing to do coil winding and electrical testing suit this occupation.

Mainly aviation assembly and inspection and traceability documents.

Aircraft structure, surfaces, rigging, and systems assemblers

Electrical and electronic equipment assemblers cover a broader range of component assembly, wiring, and complete-unit connection; this occupation's output centers on the finished wound coil and its electrical test results, with a relatively focused process.

People willing to do multi-process component assembly and wiring suit that direction; people willing to go deep and precise around a single process suit this occupation.

Mainly component assembly and wiring and complete-unit test records.

Electrical and electronic equipment assemblers

Engine and other machine assemblers lean more toward complete-machine mechanical and electrical combination and final assembly; this occupation centers on coil forming and finishing as an upstream process.

People willing to do complete-unit assembly and final assembly debugging suit that direction; people willing to do upstream precision winding suit this occupation.

Mainly complete-unit assembly and final assembly test records.

Engine and other machine assemblers

Timing device assemblers and adjusters focus on assembling and timekeeping adjustment of precision timing devices, with high demands on tiny tolerances and feel; this occupation centers on winding, electrical performance, and insulation treatment, and its output is not timekeeping accuracy.

People willing to do tiny-part assembly and adjustment suit that direction; people willing to do winding and electrical testing suit this occupation.

Mainly assembly and adjustment and timekeeping inspection records.

Timing device assemblers and adjusters

Feeding and offbearing centers on supplying equipment with material, removing finished products, and handling; whether winding parameters and electrical performance belong to a given position is still checked against the actual duties and authorization.

People willing to do production line feeding, handling, and machine watching suit that direction; people willing to take responsibility for winding parameters and electrical testing suit this occupation.

Mainly feeding and output and handover records.

Machine feeders and offbearers

Editorial transfer suggestions: repair adds fault diagnosis and trial runs, aviation assembly adds product documents and torque inspection, electrical and electronic assembly adds wiring and multi-part assembly, complete-unit assembly adds final assembly debugging, timing devices add assembly and timekeeping adjustment, and feeding and offbearing adds material pacing. Fine operation and record habits are transferable, but applicable training, qualifications, and position authorization must be checked separately, mutual recognition of existing qualifications is not guaranteed, and re-certification is not uniformly required.

Students and career changers preparing to enter

First build solid skills in winding parameters, end and insulation treatment, and electrical testing, then learn to use drawing display, parameter recording, and test data organization tools; do not treat generated content directly as winding parameters or test criteria, and do not skip checking the workpiece condition and the actual equipment readings.

Positions responsible for winding and tending

Editorial trial candidates: work order parsing and drafts of checklists and parameter records, checking material version, units, and on-site readings; the first article and the formal parameters are confirmed by the actual responsible person, and no model accuracy rate was obtained.

Positions responsible for end, insulation, and coating treatment

It is suggested to let tools assist in retrieving process points and summarizing end and insulation records; the actual stripping, bending, insulation insertion, and baking must be performed and recorded by authorized personnel according to the on-site process, and the effect must be verified in the specific scenario.

Positions responsible for electrical testing and equipment maintenance

It is suggested to use tools within a controlled scope to assist in summarizing test, inspection, and spare parts records; measurement, electrical test determinations, hazardous energy isolation, and maintenance must still be completed by positions with the duty and training according to procedure.

Keep technical capability, actual adoption, and position outcomes separate: work order parsing, checklists, and record drafts are possible assisted uses suggested on this page; this round obtained no research on generative AI adoption rates or effects for this occupation. Task pages, keywords, and the exposure index cannot prove that enterprises have made sustained investment, nor can they be used to infer income or position counts.

The three work surfaces are an editorial generalization of tasks, and the proposed recording tools await verification and cannot be proven by a catalogue to have changed the production line or obtained authority.

Editorial candidate: generate a checklist summary from legitimate work orders and historical parameters, check against the original version and for omissions, and do not change equipment parameters directly.

On-site parameters, the first article, and anomalies are checked under the actual safety and quality procedure and adjusted and restored by authorized persons, not operated from a checklist.

Editorial candidate: end and insulation records and handover drafts, measuring actual errors, omissions, and review time, without claiming it is already automatically correct.

End and insulation and process transfer decisions follow the real duties and authorization; a stage or winding title does not confer all quality release authority.

Editorial candidate: drafts summarizing tests, inspections, and spare parts, checking equipment and material versions and actual readings, and not an automatic test determination.

Confirm that hazardous energy has been isolated through procedure and that guards are intact, confirm that measurement and electrical testing are performed to procedure and judged by a position with the corresponding duty, and take responsibility for test and maintenance records.

This page suggests trying work order parsing, checklists, and record drafts and checking them against the original documents; without on-site readings and authorization, the output cannot be used to determine wire gauge, turns, end quality, electrical tests, or equipment anomalies.

Insufficient evidence: no generative AI adoption rate or effect sample for this occupation was obtained this round. This round obtained no enterprise adoption rate or actual effect sample for generative AI in this occupation. The existence of recording tools and hiring keywords cannot prove that generative AI has been adopted; whether it can be used must be verified on the specific production line.

Openings include growth and replacement of transfers and exits, not a net annual increase; a national projection is not personal hiring or an AI cause.

It cannot be inferred that way. The core tasks of this occupation are mainly winding, end and insulation treatment, electrical testing, and equipment tending: judging turns, tension, and layering condition, judging whether the ends and insulation meet standard, and judging whether test results are usable and stopping the machine and escalating on anomalies all require on-site training and responsibility.

Tools do not grant parameter, test, maintenance, or re-energization qualifications and do not exempt the supplier from responsibility across the board. US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean live work is optional. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal.

US OSHA333 (the main button of this question), 147 hazardous energy, and 212 guarding are in the actual risk and path entry points, each limited to applicable scenarios and not a uniform Chinese electrician license or a NIST authorization.

This round obtained no reliable evidence of a disappearance year for this occupation and provides no timetable; changes in actual process equipment, safety, and test requirements can be checked.

Editorial note on this page

Suggested priority order: first build solid skills in winding parameters, end and insulation treatment, and electrical testing, then learn tools for drawing reading and organizing parameters and test data; at the same time limit the use of generative AI to work order parsing, checklists, and record drafts, and do not use it to replace turns and treatment quality judgments, electrical test conclusions, or equipment anomaly handling.

O*NET51-2021.00 tasks; the training order is an editorial suggestion, not the order proven by the 0 Hot entries or NIST; NIST is only a voluntary general governance framework.

The five steps below are the editorial compilation process given on this page to explain who is responsible at which stage; they are not a mandatory process prescribed by a source and do not replace the employer's own and applicable regulations' equipment, electrical, and safety management requirements.

Clarify the workpiece, wire, and insulation system and acceptance requirements for this winding run, as well as the baseline and escalation path for equipment guarding, hazardous energy isolation, and electrical testing.

Editorial use awaiting verification: try work orders, parameter inspections, and test summaries from legitimate raw materials, checking accuracy, omissions, and total review time, and without verification do not substitute them for formal parameters or test conclusions.

Reviewed by the individual and the shift team: whether material and specification match, whether the first article is confirmed, whether end and insulation treatment and electrical test results meet standard, and whether equipment guarding and isolation are implemented.

Document the work order number, material batch, winding parameters, test results, and anomaly handling; keep additional authorization and operation records for electrical testing and maintenance.

Personnel with actual training, duty, and authority check testing, maintenance, and machine stop and restart, and tools do not transfer obligations; supplier responsibility follows the specific rules and is not exempted across the board.

Automatically generated parameter or determination suggestions may lack qualifications such as material batch and equipment and tooling condition; adopting them directly without checking the site and actual equipment readings increases the risk of winding defects and electrical unreliability.

Rely only on the work order and specification, equipment and instrument readings, the first article, and test results; for uncertain points, review the site and the original records first, and keep the checking process and conclusions.

Work orders, test data, and production line parameters may involve customer and product information, and uploading them to an external service may cause leakage and compliance risk.

First check the legitimate use and upload authorization for customer products, personal information, and work order materials, then choose an approved system; de-identification and a controlled platform are not automatically lawful, so keep access and export records.

If the tool, model, prompt, work order, and drawing versions are not recorded, generated parameter lists or test summaries may not be reproducible, and later review cannot confirm which version of the material the conclusion was based on.

Record the tool and model version, work order and drawing version, generation time, input scope, and reviewer; recheck the related conclusions after a version or material change, and do not reuse records that are not bound to their inputs.

Drawing quality conclusions directly from automatically summarized test data can hide batch differences and basis issues such as equipment condition and sampling method.

Write the determination criteria, sampling method, data source, time, and deciding person clearly, label the applicable scope of the conclusion, and keep the original records.

When the process is split into the tool producing parameters or conclusions and a person clicking to confirm, a gap easily appears where nobody is responsible for winding quality, electrical test conclusions, and equipment safety.

In the process, clarify the executor, reviewer, and authorizer for each stage, and make the records able to answer who made this judgment and on what basis.

Confirm that the work order, wire, insulation system, safety baseline, and escalation path have been written down.

Read the work order and specification and select and load materials and workpieces onto the winding equipment

Winding work and equipment tending

Work order parsing and checklists can assist; loading and first-article confirmation remain the responsibility of people

Confirm that the winding parameters and first article have been checked to specification.

Operate or tend the winding machine to wind coils

Parameter records can assist; the feel for tension and layering remains the responsibility of people

Confirm that end and insulation treatment is completed to process.

Cut, strip, and bend the ends and insert insulation

Process point retrieval can assist; the actual treatment and self-check are still performed by people

Confirm that coating and baking conditions meet the process and are documented.

Apply solution or varnish to the wound part and bake it

Data summarization can assist; test determination remains the responsibility of people

Confirm that hazardous energy has been isolated and verified through procedure.

Ledgers and inspection checklists can assist; isolation and maintenance work are still performed by people

Confirm that the work order, parameters, tests, and anomalies are fully documented.

Record production and operating data and hand over

Records and handover

Record templates and dashboards can assist; anomaly judgment and reporting remain the responsibility of people

This page suggests trying work order parsing, parameter records, and test data organization within a controlled scope to verify accuracy and traceability; it does not claim on that basis that tools have significantly changed the whole industry. Winding quality, end and insulation treatment, electrical test conclusions, and equipment and personal safety must still be the responsibility of authorized personnel.

Industry average reference (urban non-private manufacturing): 113,594 yuan per year (2025, released 2026-05-15)

This item is the National Bureau of Statistics average annual wage of urban non-private unit employees in manufacturing published by industry sector; it is an industry average proxy, not this occupation's median or starting pay, and personal income in a given region cannot be derived from it; this page labels the proxy nature throughout and explains its statistical object and coverage.

Industry average reference (urban private manufacturing): 76,055 yuan per year (2025, released 2026-05-15)

Non-private and private are different unit survey populations, and the average difference cannot separate unit, position, hours, and personnel structure effects, so it does not yield a wage difference for this occupation.

Broader basis boundary: this page does not establish a one-to-one equivalence between a Chinese occupational detailed category and US 51-2021.00, and it cannot be asserted on that basis that no related official classification or statistic exists.

Different statistical releases have different classification bases, coverage, and data periods, and this page does not mix them or convert between bases.

Advertised price basis: recruitment platforms and enterprise notices give offers for a specific position in a specific period

Manufacturing relates to this occupation's motor, electrical component, and coil manufacturing tasks, so it can serve as a broad-basis background for manufacturing employers. Employers in other industries such as repair services cannot apply these two figures; advertised offers or adjacent occupations are not used to fill in occupational percentiles.

Statistical coverage: 2025 legal entities with 5 or more persons in urban areas, excluding self-employed individuals and freelancers; wages are pre-tax gross wages and include withheld personal social insurance and housing provident fund contributions. Whether project-based personnel are counted should be checked against the statistical object and is not uniformly excluded.

When comparing different opportunities, first confirm the employment form, shift, piece-rate method, protection, and equipment conditions, and only then discuss income differences; otherwise institutional differences are misread as position differences.

Data period: the 2025 national average annual wage of urban unit employees, released 2026-05-15; the statistical period and the release date are listed separately.

Different data periods affect comparability, and this page does not splice across periods or write a given year's industry average as an occupational median.

Conclusions and gaps: this page registers two verifiable industry average proxies, the statistical basis, and the position mapping boundary for mainland China, and does not give a monthly salary range or percentiles for this occupation

This round did not obtain a Chinese national occupational wage distribution corresponding exactly to O*NET-SOC51-2021.00, which does not mean that officials never published one or that related positions do not exist in China; the industry average is only an employer industry background.

Position mapping boundary: this page does not establish a one-to-one equivalence between the US code and a Chinese occupational detailed category

The related duties may fall under sequences such as motor manufacturing and transformer, inductor, and electronic component manufacturing, household appliance and power tool manufacturing, and industrial equipment repair and remanufacturing, and must be classified by the actual position duties and workpiece type; a Chinese page name does not constitute a Chinese equivalent occupation or wage mapping.

Recording tools may change specific processes but cannot fill in the Chinese occupational wage basis not obtained this round; the degree of adoption and any wage cause require independent evidence.

Duty and authorization boundary: electrical testing, equipment maintenance, and hazardous energy isolation authority follow the applicable jurisdiction and enterprise rules; equipment guarding and personal protection are configured by the employer under the hazard assessment, and testing and maintenance beyond one's duties must be stopped and escalated through procedure, and the two cannot substitute for each other.

Junior high or high school education plus on-the-job training

Winding, taping, and finishing operation direction

Editorial suggestion: education can be one condition of the target position, and the direction must also be checked for training, experience, and authorization; this page has no recruitment survey supporting a uniform education-to-position sequence.

Secondary vocational school or technical school majoring in electromechanical or electrical fields

Winding parameter and process direction, electrical testing and inspection direction

Editorial capability check: equipment and measurement and electrical test training and actual authority are checked position by position, and there is no representative hiring evidence from this round to show uniform conditions.

Training and assessment related to electrical safety and equipment operation

Equipment and safety management direction, maintenance and remanufacturing direction

Editorial check suggestion: check electrical safety and equipment operation training and authorization against the target workpiece, equipment, tasks, and actual jurisdiction; this round did not obtain a uniform Chinese hiring threshold, and US OSHA is not a uniform Chinese licensing condition.

Authorization requirements for hazardous energy isolation, equipment guarding, and electrical testing

Equipment and electrical safety management direction

Editorial compilation: equipment maintenance and electrical testing must follow employer and applicable regulatory requirements, and this page does not write any training or foreign certificate as a legal qualification.

Motor manufacturing and electrical component manufacturing enterprises

Editorial compilation: mainly batch winding, taping, finishing, and electrical testing, usually arranged by production line pace and shift.

Household appliance and power tool manufacturing enterprises

Editorial compilation: mainly small motors, windings, and complete-unit assembly support, delivered to product standards and pace.

Industrial equipment repair and remanufacturing enterprises

Editorial compilation: mainly disassembly, assembly, and rewinding of motors and windings and trial-run repair, delivered according to customer equipment condition and safety requirements.

Mainland China pay reference: industry average proxy and the occupational-level gap

The National Bureau of Statistics 2025 average annual wage of urban unit employees in manufacturing is 113,594 yuan for non-private and 76,055 yuan for private (released 2026-05-15). This is an industry average reference for manufacturing employers, not this occupation's median, starting pay, or take-home income. This round did not obtain a Chinese national wage distribution corresponding exactly to this occupation.

Compare the specific employer's main industry, real employment form, shift and piece rate, protective equipment, and training; motor manufacturing or repair is an industry and business scenario, not an employment form. NBS2025 Tables 2 and 5 manufacturing C non-private 113,594 / private 76,055 yuan per year is the whole-category annual average wage background for manufacturing units by main activity, not the median, starting pay, or monthly pay for coil winders; the precise Chinese national occupational wage, regions, and a one-to-one mapping were not obtained this round.

Publication information of the Occupational Classification Compendium of the People's Republic of China (2022 edition)｜https://www.mohrss.gov.cn/

This page does not provide a monthly salary range or city ranking for this occupation in China; the editorial suggestion is to check the workpiece, region, employment form, winding and end and insulation and electrical test duties, and equipment and safety conditions, and this round has no estimate of the magnitude of income differences.

Mainland China (manufacturing employer industry reference, with the occupational-level wage gap retained)

Insufficient evidence: this round did not obtain a Chinese national monthly salary distribution for this occupation; 113,594 / 76,055 yuan are the 2025 manufacturing non-private and private industry averages, not an occupational median or starting pay.

Manufacturing urban non-private units (industry average proxy)

OEWS employed wages exclude self-employment, and EP employment coverage is checked separately; the self-employment share table for this occupation shows "—" and is not filled with 0. The national Median is not a mean or starting pay, and precise industry, regional, and shift data were not fully obtained this round; the parent assembly industry median serves only as background.

Direct answer: the OEWS2025 national median annual wage is 48,220 US dollars and the median hourly wage is 23.18 US dollars, with annual 10/90 percentiles of 37,540/63,300 US dollars.

No. The exact SOC51-2021 median is a statistical position for the employed group, and the 10th percentile of 37540 US dollars is not starting pay; the editorial suggestion is to check the target region, industry, shift, training authorization, and the actual offer, and not to infer personal entry pay.

OEWS usually converts annual values at 2080 hours, not a person's actual paid hours; the official annual and hourly medians are not used to infer one's own monthly pay, overtime, or after-tax income.

The percentiles and median come from the BLS OEWS 2025 wage data shown on this occupation's O*NET page (exact 51-2021.00 occupation basis); a percentile is a statistical position and does not represent an individual ability level.

Compare the specific offer's equipment and products, shift and hours, parameter and test responsibility, training, and benefits; this round did not obtain the independent wage effect of each factor.

48,220 US dollars per year (median)

This percentile is used to understand the lower part of the distribution and is not used to judge entry-level wages.

The median is the midpoint of the distribution and cannot be treated as an arithmetic mean, the actual wage of most people, or an individual's starting pay.

This percentile describes the upper part of the distribution and cannot be used to infer the income of a machine setup position or a team leader.

The O*NET interest code for this occupation is RC: realistic describes activities using equipment, tools, and materials, and conventional describes activities carried out to specification and records. Work activities such as inspecting equipment and materials, getting information, moving objects, and identifying objects and events support this task interpretation; the code describes the orientation of occupational activities, not the personality distribution of practitioners or an individual fit judgment.

Evidence level: O*NET occupational activities and RC interest orientation; it does not represent the personality proportions of practitioners, individual assessment scores, or hiring standards.

The current O*NET page lists 12 work styles, including attention to detail 83, dependability 70, and caution 52 as Impact indicators. The indicators describe the important influence of the occupational way of working and are not individual assessment scores or hiring thresholds. In actual experience, observe whether you can hold to the specification, quality, and safety boundaries under repetitive operations.

Occupational styles can serve as editorial observation clues, and this round did not obtain Big Five predictive validity for winding performance; check specification and record behavior and do not draw a causal conclusion that personality affects steady output.

Evidence level: the 12 occupational work styles and Impact on the current O*NET page; this round did not obtain Big Five predictive validity research for this occupation.

Watch out for: putting finishing this batch first ahead of stopping the machine to adjust parameters or handle an anomaly exposes problems at the level of electrical performance and equipment safety.

O*NET occupational content interest RC, R92/C53/I21/E7/S2/A0, not practitioner proportions, individual assessment scores, or hiring success rates.

This round did not obtain research on the predictive validity of MBTI type for performance or fit in this occupation; do not rank positions or infer performance from type, and still check with specific tasks and work output.

This round did not check all employer hiring rules, and this page does not make hiring judgments based on MBTI; the applicable predictive validity for this occupation was not obtained.

This round did not obtain Enneagram fit validity for this occupation and does not screen by type; legitimate fictional paper work orders and parameter records can be used to check measurement and anomaly communication, while actual machines require training and authorization separately.

Evidence level: editorial note, not an occupational fact supported by a source.

Watch out for: Enneagram interpretation easily slides into personality diagnosis, and this page does not use it to judge fit.

This occupation's actual requirements for equipment, electrical, and measurement knowledge are clear: the O*NET knowledge list is mainly education and training, English language, mathematics, administration and management, production and processing, mechanical, design, and computers and electronics; the ability list is mainly arm-hand steadiness, manual dexterity, control precision, near vision, finger dexterity, problem sensitivity, selective attention, deductive reasoning, oral comprehension, and oral expression, 52 items in total.

O*NET provides knowledge and skill importance; this round did not obtain an IQ hiring threshold for this occupation and does not convert knowledge importance into an individual intelligence threshold.

Watch out for: relying on personal experience for the long term without capturing parameters, end treatment, and test records exposes risk in changeovers, shift changes, and quality traceability; fixing the process and documentation is the sustainable approach.

This occupation's protection and precision requirements stand out: O*NET work context shows 100% wearing common protective or safety equipment every day, 92% considering being exact or highly accurate extremely important, 87% using hands continuously or almost continuously, 83% performing repetitive motions continuously, 57% being exposed to contaminants every day, 53% being exposed to noise every day, 41% possibly being exposed to minor burns, cuts, or bites every day, and 44% having very high responsibility for the health and safety of others.

Evidence level: O*NET work activities and work context are official occupational data; this page draws no causal conclusion about the relationship between emotional intelligence and occupational performance.

Watch out for: removing or bypassing equipment guards to catch up on output, or clearing jams and doing maintenance without isolating hazardous energy, harms both personal safety and compliance.

Boundary: all of the above are task and work context descriptions and editorial suggestions for this occupation and do not constitute a personality diagnosis, hiring prediction, or career destiny judgment; no assessment score can replace completing one full run of winding, end treatment, and electrical testing under supervision.

The editorial fit clue is willingness to check repeated operations to specification and hold the safety line; O*NET occupational content interest RC, R92/C53/I21/E7/S2/A0, not practitioner proportions, individual assessment scores, or hiring success rates.

Motor and power tool repairers

Suitable signal: willing to do electrical and mechanical fault diagnosis and repair.

Caution signal: the repair direction centers on fault diagnosis and repair; whether it involves batch winding and first-article confirmation depends on the specific position scope.

Aircraft structure, surfaces, rigging, and systems assemblers

Editorial suitable signal: willing to check component connections and fasteners against the real aviation product assembly documents, keep records, and complete the corresponding training; specific standards are checked position by position.

Caution signal: aviation assembly uses process and traceability documents applicable to aviation products, and the corresponding standards and assembly training must be added; this page has no same-basis evidence comparing which occupation has stricter document requirements.

Electrical and electronic equipment assemblers

Suitable signal: willing to do multi-process component assembly and wiring and complete-unit connection.

Caution signal: electrical and electronic assembly has more diverse objects; winding depth and test responsibility vary with product and position and cannot be ranked uniformly.

Engine and other machine assemblers

Suitable signal: willing to do complete-unit assembly and final assembly debugging.

Caution signal: that direction leans toward complete-machine mechanical and electrical combination and does not produce wound coils.

Timing device assemblers and adjusters

Suitable signal: willing to do tiny-part assembly and timekeeping adjustment.

Caution signal: timing mechanism assembly and timekeeping adjustment have different products, measurement, and processes, and the corresponding training must be added; tolerances are not ranked uniformly as larger or smaller.

Machine feeders and offbearers

Suitable signal: willing to do production line feeding, handling, and machine watching.

Caution signal: feeding and offbearing center on material flow, and when combined with winding or electrical testing, training and authorization must still be checked separately.

This page does not decide fit from a single personality trait. The editorial suggestion is to check the workpieces, equipment, and division of work at motor, transformer and inductor, or repair and remanufacturing sites position by position; this round did not quantify the differences, and parameter, quality, and safety checking can be observed under legitimate teaching conditions.

Hand work, repetition, and contaminant percentages do not prove introvert fit, and the fixed checklist is an editorial suggestion; check shift handover and anomaly communication, and do not give hiring predictions based on introversion or extroversion.

This round has no introvert-extrovert performance comparison evidence and does not judge an extrovert advantage or disadvantage; the editorial suggestion is to observe actual records of parameter explanation, specification checking, handover, and anomaly coordination.

This round did not obtain research on MBTI type fit or performance validity for this occupation, so no ranking of which type is more suitable is provided.

The O*NET interest code RC describes realistic and conventional occupational activity orientations and does not represent practitioner personality proportions or constitute an individual fit conclusion; paper samples can be used to experience and check your own preferences.

This round did not obtain validity research on personality traits predicting performance in this occupation, and trait scores are not used to decide hiring or fit; use observable specification checking, anomaly records, and authorization boundary behavior as feedback.

Mathematics knowledge 66, control precision 56, and perceptual speed 44 support measurement checking and are not an individual IQ or mathematics admission score; quantity understanding is observed through units, turns, and record tasks.

The NIOSH general risk guidance supports assessment of repetition, force, posture, and duration, intensity, and frequency, and is not an incidence rate or personal diagnosis for this occupation. Engineering elimination, substitution, and tool and workstation changes come first, with management controls such as rotation and rest as a supplement, and PPE cannot replace more effective measures; the specific plan is determined by the actual assessment, and no uniform break duration is given.

Deciding investment based on the Enneagram is not recommended. This round did not obtain Enneagram fit validity research for this occupation, so check with specific tasks and record work.

Use the complete paper materials on this page to judge: check specifications and records for the W-07-v2 A/B/C items, distinguish defects from unknowns, and write pending release and E-01 escalation handover. Observe whether you are willing to complete these checks repeatedly; paper work does not prove real winding or electrical test proficiency.

People who are willing to check item by item to specification and steadily complete fine repetitive operations, who can hold the quality and safety steps under output pressure, and who are willing to document parameters, tests, and the handling process for review.

People who find it hard to accept their parameters and records being reviewed, who tend to remove or bypass equipment guards under output pressure, or who pay insufficient attention to physical discomfort from repetitive motion and equipment anomalies.

Use the fictional materials in the on-page entry, qualification, and career development section to complete one run from reading the work order through winding, end treatment, and electrical test recording, then judge whether you are willing to repeat this.

Boundary: the six risk cards below are generalized from this occupation's tasks and work context to explain what will be encountered and how it can be controlled, without stating occurrence rates or accident probabilities; the applicable scope of each measure must be confirmed separately against the applicable jurisdiction, employer rules, and equipment instructions.

Direct answer: the risks this occupation most needs to judge in advance come from four places — winding parameters, wire gauge, and turns deviating from specification causing batch electrical non-conformance, end stripping, bending, and insulation insertion being unsound causing insulation or continuity defects, serious injury from rotating parts catching and from unexpected startup during jam clearing and maintenance, and cumulative human factors injury from highly repetitive wrist motion and awkward twisting postures; runaway electrical test determinations and untraceable records are also long-term problems.

O*NET supports the task context; US 147 for maintenance hazardous energy, 333 for electrical work exposure, 212 for machine guarding, and the NIOSH general human factors guidance each support their applicable scope, and the specific Chinese qualification procedures were not fully checked this round.

Positions responsible for winding work and equipment tending

If wire gauge, turns, or tension and layering are not set to specification, or the first article is not confirmed, batch resistance or inductance deviation, rework, and scrap result.

Editorial specification check: check wire gauge, turns, and tension against the approved work order and check the first-article record, stop and escalate anomalies under the real safety and quality procedure, and adjust and resume production only under actual authority.

Winding by feel and skipping first-article confirmation; leaving coils with uneven layering for the next process to trim.

Positions responsible for end and insulation treatment

Damaging the wire during stripping, bending, or insulation treatment can cause continuity or withstand voltage problems, which may be found in self-check, electrical testing, or later assembly; it is not assumed that all defects are exposed only after assembly.

Check strip length, bend angle, and insulation sheet fit to process, use suitable tools to avoid damaging the wire, and self-check and document to procedure after treatment.

Forcing the strip with unsuitable tools; forcing the insulation sheet into the slot to avoid redoing the ends.

Positions responsible for electrical testing and measurement

Inconsistent test conditions or non-conforming items not isolated let non-conforming items flow to the next process or the customer, causing rework and reputation loss.

Test and record under approved conditions, isolate and report non-conforming and insulation anomalies, and document the deciding person and standard; electrical exposure scenarios must be checked against the real qualification procedure. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean live work is optional. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal.

Writing the test record as a pass first and testing later; marking a non-conforming item without isolating it.

Positions responsible for equipment cleaning, jam clearing, and maintenance

Rotating parts and in-running points not isolated as the guarding requires, or hazardous energy not controlled before jam clearing and maintenance, can cause serious injury such as catching, shearing, crushing, or electric shock.

US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority. US 1910.212 requires appropriate machine guarding at the point of operation and at in-running and rotating parts, and hand tools cannot replace guarding; guards must not be removed or bypassed for hazardous operation on one's own, and maintenance disassembly follows the actual control procedure, and not all disassembly is treated as prohibited. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean live work is optional. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal.

Just pressing the stop button and reaching into the equipment to deal with tangled wire; using a tool to hold an interlock so the equipment keeps running.

Positions responsible for repetitive fine operations

Long periods of highly repetitive wrist and finger motion, awkward twisting postures, and a fixed workstation can cause cumulative musculoskeletal discomfort and injury.

The NIOSH general risk guidance supports assessment of repetition, force, posture, and duration, intensity, and frequency, and is not an incidence rate or personal diagnosis for this occupation. Engineering elimination, substitution, and tool and workstation changes come first, with management controls such as rotation and rest as a supplement, and PPE cannot replace more effective measures; the specific plan is determined by the actual assessment, and no uniform break duration is given. Persistent discomfort is reported through the on-site occupational health channel, and one neither self-diagnoses nor substitutes rest for engineering controls.

Enduring a whole shift by tolerance without making workstation or break adjustments; treating persistent wrist pain as normal.

Positions responsible for production and test records

Missing work order, material batch, parameter, test, or anomaly records can hinder quality traceability, cause identification, and proof of execution, and it is not asserted that other evidence could never locate the cause.

Record the work order number, material batch, winding parameters, test results, anomalies, and time on the form so that the record can be reviewed by others and unfinished items are explained at handover.

At shift handover only saying verbally that a few items have some problems; not entering test results in the record and just attaching a sticky note.

US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority.

Boundary: the three directions and four capability stages below are an editorial compilation of a capability development structure, not a uniform enterprise rank system, and they promise no promotion timeline; authorization matters involving electrical testing, equipment maintenance, and hazardous energy isolation must be confirmed separately against the applicable jurisdiction, employer rules, and equipment instructions.

Can take part in building the process, equipment, electrical test, and protection systems

Editorial path suggestion: first become familiar with workpieces, equipment, and safety requirements under supervision, then gradually take on parameter checking, first articles, inspection, and anomaly records as training and authorization allow; this is not the statistics of the most common path nationwide. The three bands shown in the O*NET new entrant education survey are 57% high school or equivalent, 41% postsecondary non-degree certificate, and 2% below high school, JobZone1-2; the specific Chinese position conditions are checked separately.

The certification page still could not be found this round, which cannot be used to infer that no industry qualification exists at all; check training and authorization by duty, and US electrical exposure must be checked against 333 separately, as 147 does not represent all electrical clauses. US 1910.147 covers maintenance that could cause injury from unexpected startup or release of stored energy, with applicable conditions and exceptions for normal production; an authorized employee must have real duty training, and a title does not automatically authorize. Stored energy is eliminated, disconnected, restrained, or made safe, and isolation and de-energization are verified before work, not uniformly zero energy; a stop button is not isolation, and re-energization follows procedure with verification of equipment, personnel clearing, and notification, so an anomaly disappearing does not automatically grant re-energization authority. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean work may be performed energized at will. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal. The specific Chinese qualification details were not fully checked this round, and the US qualified person concept is not transplanted as a Chinese certificate.

The United States (O*NET basis) and mainland China are described side by side, and the two have different rule systems

Education, position training, certification, and authorization are checked separately. The current O*NET certification page shows that no certifications were found, which does not mean no industry qualification exists at all. Equipment maintenance energy isolation and electrical test determination must be checked against the covered duties, training, and employer procedure; personal protection arrangements are based on the actual hazard assessment. None of these can replace another. US 1910.333 applies to scenarios exposing electrical hazards: in principle energy is disconnected first, and special conditions without de-energization must be verified by the employer and still carry safety procedures, so testing does not mean work may be performed energized at will. If de-energization was not locked or tagged through procedure, the circuit is still treated as energized, and a qualified person must verify that it cannot restart and use test equipment to confirm no voltage or backfeed or induced voltage; exposure to a circuit not de-energized is handled only by a qualified person with the required protection, and an ordinary winding title does not automatically confer qualification. Re-energization requires a qualified person to check tools and devices and clear and notify personnel through procedure, and it is not restored merely because measurements look normal.

United States: this occupation's preparation level is Job Zone 1-2, SVP below 6.0, and the new entrant education requirement questionnaire on the page shows 57% of respondents answering that a high school diploma or equivalent is required, 41% answering that a postsecondary certificate is required, and 2% answering below high school diploma (the page shows only these three bands); the employer's machine guarding and hazardous energy control obligations are assessed item by item under applicable occupational safety regulations, and a position title itself does not grant lockout/tagout authority.

For Chinese positions, check the occupational classification and the applicable training, operation, and maintenance requirements against the specific workpiece and tasks. This page does not establish a detailed category corresponding one-to-one with US 51-2021.00 and does not map a foreign certificate or industry wage into a Chinese legal qualification.

This page does not guarantee that any training will be recognized by a specific employer and does not replace the specific judgment for hazardous energy isolation, electrical test determination, or non-conforming product handling.

On hiring samples: this page does not use recruitment platform offers as a wage basis and does not write a single job posting as a uniform threshold; the education, workpiece type, shift, and protection requirements in hiring conditions vary by enterprise and region.

On position titles: such positions may use names such as coil winder, taper, finisher, armature winder, and motor winder, and comparisons should be based on the actual workpiece, equipment, duties, and authorization rather than the name.

Direct answer: the BLS Table 1.2 (2025—2035, SOC 51-2021) projection: 2025 employment about 12,900, 2035 about 12,400, change -4.0%, and annual average openings about 1,200. The projection includes self-employment and replacement demand, and openings are not net new positions; it contains model assumptions and error, is not a hiring guarantee for any enterprise, and is not an AI causal conclusion.

2025—2035 (BLS projection, SOC51-2021)

The projected change is -4.0%, a decline projection; it is not a year-by-year actual value or an AI attribution, and it cannot replace verification of a specific employer's positions.

It is a US national basis projection that does not distinguish region, industry, or employment form, and it cannot be used to infer the number of positions in a specific enterprise or city.

The study provides an occupation-level generative AI exposure index for comparing task exposure across occupations and does not provide position growth or decline projections.

It is an exposure measure rather than an adoption or automation rate; the cross-economy basis differs from national statistical bases and cannot be converted directly into US or Chinese position changes.

2025 wage data (released 2026-05-15)

The National Bureau of Statistics 2025 average annual wage of urban unit employees in manufacturing is 113,594 yuan for non-private and 76,055 yuan for private (released 2026-05-15). This is an industry average reference for manufacturing employers, not this occupation's median, starting pay, or take-home income. This round did not obtain a Chinese national wage distribution corresponding exactly to this occupation.

An industry average proxy cannot replace this occupation's median or starting pay; this page does not use hiring samples or adjacent position offers to fill the occupational-level gap and lists the occupational-level gap alongside the proxy values.

This page is compiled from public official sources: O*NET-SOC51-2021.00 supports identity and tasks; OEWS2025 supports national wage percentiles; BLS Table 1.2 supports the 2025—2035 employment projection. BrightOutlook not being marked does not represent hiring probability. Chinese wages are given only as a manufacturing industry reference with the occupational-level gap retained; the comparisons, AI uses, and paper exercises are editorial design.

This round actually checked the O*NET occupational tasks, context, education, 12 styles, and 3 software items, the BLS exact projection and national wages; the OOH parent 51-2000 industry wages serve only as background, and the NBS2025 manufacturing C unit wages are not occupational wages. US OSHA147/212/333/132 and the NIOSH guidance are checked separately and are not treated as Chinese procedures.

The search for this round was updated 2026-10-09; still missing are precise Chinese wage, employment, and mapping, representative hiring, precise US industry, region, and shift data, specific Chinese occupational health and special operation qualifications and all employer qualifications, AI adoption and effects and personality-performance research, and transition success rates.

The occupational information and the editorial process do not grant machine stop and restart, internal maintenance, or electrical test and release qualifications; check against the real procedure, authority, and assessment, and the background wage is not a personal income commitment.
