About The Position

The Aircraft Mechanic I (Avionics) position requires a combination of experience in repairing engines, sheet metal, structural, hydraulic, electrical, power train, and general mechanical systems of moderate difficulty to meet assigned missions. This role involves troubleshooting malfunctions in aircraft structures, landing gear, flight surfaces, controls, anti-icing, pneudraulic systems, engines, auxiliary power units, and ventilation/heating systems. The mechanic will repair, replace, and rebuild aircraft structures and functional components using various tools and equipment.
