| description | The Conducere-MIT Collaboratory conducted a Manufacturing Workforce Preparation assessment (MWP) for photonic integrated devices, particularly bio-photonic devices. Leveraging data from O*NET and expert interviews, the team identified the need for two manufacturing technician positions, the Photonic Integrated Circuit Technician and the Functionalization Technician. The team identified tasks, skills, and competencies that are critical and needed at entry for manufacturing technicians producing photonic integrated devices. While tasks between these positions are expected to vary somewhat, the skills and competencies needed to be successful are not expected to vary much. Additionally, needed skills and competencies will likely differ for technicians working predominantly with automated equipment and technologists who conduct their work more manually. Much of what technicians need to be able to do will be learned on the job.
This report first shares what photonic integrated devices are and summarizes our findings relevant to the market for this emerging technology. The report then details role, task, skill, and competency findings for the technician positions, and provides insight into equipment, education, recruiting, hiring, and training. |
