ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN IV-GM

The Engineering Technician IV position will support the Sensors and SONAR Systems Department of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport which is responsible for a full
spectrum of engineering and research efforts pertaining to Sensors, SONAR, Undersea Warfare and Autonomous Vehicles.

Engineering services are required for analyses, in-service engineering, prototype development, test and evaluation, and system engineering services in
support of Towed, Hull and Sensor System programs. Towed Systems include developmental and in-service towed arrays, tow cables, towed array
handling systems and associated signal path components. Hull and Sensor systems include hull mounted arrays, transducers, hydrophones, acoustic
windows, outboard electronics, array structures and associated cabling.

The qualified candidate will have 4 years of work related experience in electrical/electronic systems. The Engineering Technician will perform non routine assignments of substantial variety and complexity, using operational precedents which are not fully applicable. Such assignments, which are typically parts of broader assignments, are screened to eliminate unusual design problems.

Responsibilities for this position include:

• Developing, fabricating, delivering, updating, testing and maintaining special prototype and test hardware.
• Integrating the prototype and testing hardware into laboratory and shipboard environments.
• Developing or revising integration plans, and providing all materials, cables, connectors, mock-ups, equipment, test devices, tools, commercial software, shipping containers, and consumables required for proper hardware integration.
• Updating and maintaining hardware documentation including Hardware Development Plans for changes incorporated through specification changes, testing, and conversion requirements.
• Analyzing hardware faults, performance loss, degraded performance, intermittent operational anomalies, requirement deviations, and insufficient operability to determine the root cause, generating alternative solutions and producing recommended courses of action.
