Electronic Technician III

Electronic Technician IIIs (ET III) provide technical support required to maintain simulators and related training devices. An ET III applies basic knowledge and experience to solve training device problems, including those that are typically able to be solved solely by reference to maintenance manuals or similar documents.  They are fully qualified, trained, and knowledgeable in the support, maintenance, and operation of training devices. Electronic Technicians document discrepancies using reporting forms as required.

ET IIIs are key personnel on the Program. Key personnel are those personnel whose aggregate technical and professional experience is essential to successfully support the device.  Key personnel are fully qualified both managerially and technically, who by virtue of meeting indicated qualifications and rate, can reasonably assume the most intricate and difficult jobs associated with maintaining TS/E in a FOC and managing their assigned workforce.
