Open Position Request Number R-71-23

CLASSIFICATION : Electronics Technician, Maintenance III ; CBA Rate $34.35/HR

GRADE: Non-Exempt; Regular Full-time

LOCATION: Test Site C-80 (DeFuniak Springs), Eglin AFB FL

POSTING DATE: Internal Applicants (7/20/2023)

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: The Electronics Technician Maintenance III applies advanced technical knowledge to solve complex problems that typically cannot be solved solely by referencing manufacturers’ manuals or similar documents. Examples of such problems include determining the location and density of circuitry, evaluating electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, and incorporating engineering, changes. Work typically requires an understanding of the interrelationships of circuits, exercising independent judgment in performing such tasks as making circuit analyses, calculating wave forms, installing wiring in aircraft for T2 Modifications, and tracing relationships in signal flow, using complex test instruments such as high frequency pulse generators, frequency synthesizers, distortion analyzers, and complex computer control equipment. Work may be reviewed by supervisor for general compliance with accepted practices. This position may provide technical guidance to lower-level technicians. May be given the responsibility for a system isolated from the direct higher-level supervisor. Will usually be required to provide guidance, training, and work direction to lower-level technicians.

GENERAL DUTIES: The Electronics Technician, Maintenance maintains, repairs, troubleshoots, modifies and installs various types of electronic equipment and related devices such as electronic transmitting and receiving equipment (e.g., radar, radio, television, telecommunication, sonar, laser, electro-optics, infrared, telemetry, and communications systems, and navigational aids); personal and main frame computers and terminals, industrial, medical, measuring, and controlling equipment; and industrial robotic devices. The successful incumbent applies technical knowledge of electronics principles in determining equipment malfunctions, and applies skill in restoring equipment operation, evaluates performance and reliability of prototype or production mode, and recommends changes in circuitry or installation specifications to simplify assembly and maintenance. Must be qualified to operate, maintain, repair, and modify complex state-of-the-art electronic, electro-optical and electro-mechanical equipment. Must be systems oriented and have the ability and knowledge to consolidate component sub-systems and assemblies into a workable system.

OTHER DUTIES: Additional duties may be assigned to support contract/mission support requirements in job related areas such as PIPR, Security and Safety, TMDE, HAZMAT, etc. as required. Will be used through cross-utilization to support other systems in the Explosive Test Facilities as required. Reports to a site supervisor.

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS: Must be a technical or service school graduate in electronics and have five years’ experience as an Electronic Technician. Must possess a general knowledge of electronic component characteristics to aid in the selection of replacement components and devices. Knowledge of other trades such as the mechanical skills necessary to repair and modify servo systems, pedestal-drive systems, waveguide installations, and optics associated with laser and camera systems a plus. Must be thoroughly familiar with the operation of test instruments such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, frequency measuring equipment, and other related measurement instruments.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS: Ability to provide support for test missions and task work on offshore facilities is a plus. Overtime, TDY, and offshore mission support are required to meet mission/task requirements. Should possess a good understanding of arena setup and testing. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance. Supports E-OMS operational objectives; observes company Quality, Safety, Environmental, Security and Administrative policies; supports Process Improvement.

WORK ENVIRONMENT: May perform work assignments in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment. Some tasks and assignments such as the installation; operation; and maintenance of mobile systems, aircraft systems, or range instrumentation will require work performance in outside environments in heat or cold with exposure to the conditions typical of various work locations.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Required to climb, bend, stoop, lift up to 50 pounds, pull, or carry heavy items.
