solderer

Circuit board worker

A solderer is a person who solders—that is, someone who joins metal parts together using a melted filler metal.

The term applies both to hobbyists doing electronics work at home and to professionals in manufacturing, plumbing, or metalwork.

The solderer carefully attached each component to the circuit board.
