Role Definition
We are seeking a skilled Electronics Repair Technician to perform depot-level, component-level repair of military avionics displays and control units for platforms including C-130J, F-35, Apache, and Blackhawk. This hands-on bench position requires the ability to troubleshoot circuit card assemblies down to individual components using schematics, test equipment, and diagnostic procedures. You will use oscilloscopes, freeze spray, and multimeters to identify defective resistors, capacitors, ICs, and other components on complex multi-layer PCBs. This is NOT an IT or computer support role - we need technicians with electronics repair experience who are comfortable with a soldering iron and reading circuit diagrams.

Use oscilloscopes, multimeters, function generators, and spectrum analyzers to isolate faults to specific components
Read and interpret electronic schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical manuals
Perform continuity checks, voltage measurements, and signal tracing on populated circuit boards
Identify defective resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, ICs, and connectors
Document repairs using depot-level maintenance procedures
Work at an electronics repair bench with ESD controls
