Second shift adds $1.50/hour; third shift adds $1.75/hour. Differentials are paid during first-shift training.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform bench and automated testing of electronic assemblies using approved procedures, engineering documentation, schematics, and wiring diagrams.

• At experienced levels, diagnose circuit failures through measurements and signal tracing, isolating faults to individual components and supporting repair and verification.

• Record test results, document failures, complete computer-based transactions, and communicate findings to engineering, manufacturing, quality, and other shifts.

• Learn product-specific test setups and processes, support test equipment upkeep, and contribute to training and process improvements as appropriate to level.

Qualifications by Level

LevelRequired Technical ProfileTechnician IUnderstands basic electronics and Ohm’s law; can use a digital multimeter; preferably has oscilloscope exposure. Has strong computer skills and the ability to learn schematics, test procedures, and automated test setups. Recent technical graduates and candidates with transferable electronics experience are welcome.Technician IIHas hands-on electronics testing experience and can interpret schematics to troubleshoot circuit boards down to individual components. Must demonstrate diagnostic work beyond removing and replacing an entire failed board.Technician IIIHas advanced component-level troubleshooting experience and broad understanding of electronic products, from circuit card assemblies through complete system or box builds. Can diagnose complex failures independently and develop expertise across an assigned product line.LeadMeets Technician III technical expectations and brings prior lead or supervisory experience. Can guide technicians, support technical troubleshooting and training, and coordinate shift activities.| | | |

The original Technician III posting lists 10+ years of related experience. The intake emphasized demonstrated troubleshooting depth and product expertise; flexibility on the stated experience requirement remains unconfirmed.

Education and Transferable Experience

An associate’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline is preferred. Relevant military electronics training or practical experience can substitute for a degree. Relevant technical certificates may also qualify candidates.

Strong sourcing backgrounds include military avionics, military electronics maintenance, missile-system electronics, circuit board testing and repair, commercial electronics, telecommunications, and digital electronics. Evaluate candidates by the actual circuits, instruments, schematics, and diagnostic tasks they have handled.

Computer science or IT experience can complement an electronics background. Computer proficiency is especially important for test applications, documentation, data handling, and production transactions.
