About The Position

The Detector Test Technician III performs electronic testing to evaluate and troubleshoot built-to-order semiconductor radiation detectors. The role executes procedures to measure and calculate signal continuity, contact and contact resistance, and leakage current; acquire amplitude signal spectra; and determine the optimum bias and shaping time for each unit. The technician also recommends detector reworks and evaluates and tests special detector builds. The technician tests and qualifies standard and special detector models to meet product quality and delivery requirements, performs specialized source-based measurements for ISOCS-related products, and recommends next steps in accordance with the Detector Escalation Policy. The expected testing rate is at least four units per day. Additional work includes assembling detector accessories; counting and transacting inventory using SAP; maintaining accurate records and timekeeping; testing, repairing, and modifying preamplifiers; cross-training to provide backup in other essential functions; and serving as a liaison with external departments as instructed. The technician may assume temporary leadership under a manager's direction, train and mentor others, collaborate with Engineering on projects, and interact with customers.
