Electrical Engineering Techinician - Point Mugu, CA

F3EA Inc

About The Position

F3EA is seeking an Electrical Engineering Technician to support the development, integration, testing, and sustainment of Blue Water Instrumentation (BWI) capabilities at the Point Mugu Sea Range. This role directly contributes to closing critical gaps in Over-the-Horizon maritime instrumentation, telemetry relay systems, command-and-control experimentation, and range safety support. The technician will operate in a hands-on R&D and test environment, supporting electrical system builds, wiring, integration, and troubleshooting across laboratory and field environments. This position is designed for a technically proficient individual who can take electrical designs and turn them into functioning, field-ready systems. This position is focused on hands-on electrical integration and execution in an R&D environment, where speed, precision, and technical competence directly impact mission success. The role bridges engineering design and operational capability—ensuring electrical systems are built, integrated, and perform reliably in real-world test conditions.
