About The Position

The Electronics Technician II supports the testing, troubleshooting, repair, and modification of complex microwave RF, analog, and digital electronic systems used in high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. This intermediate-level position works under the technical guidance of senior technicians and engineers while performing assigned tasks with limited day-to-day supervision. The Electronics Technician II conducts component-level fault isolation, executes established test procedures, documents results, and supports equipment integration, verification, and configuration-control activities. The successful candidate will have foundational RF/microwave and digital electronics experience and demonstrate sound judgment regarding when to seek guidance or escalate technical issues.

Foundational hands-on experience testing and troubleshooting electronic systems, preferably within aerospace, defense, or another high-reliability environment.
Demonstrated ability to read and interpret schematics, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, test procedures, and technical manuals.
Experience using general-purpose electronic test equipment, including digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers.
Experience performing troubleshooting, testing, adjustment, and operational verification of electronic assemblies; component-level troubleshooting experience is strongly preferred.
Working knowledge of RF and microwave principles and components, including filters, amplifiers, mixers, couplers, and waveguides.
Working knowledge of analog and digital electronics, including discrete components, integrated circuits, logic circuits, and power supplies.
Ability to perform structured fault isolation using technical documentation and applicable test equipment.
Ability to follow detailed test procedures and accurately record, analyze, and interpret test results.
Familiarity with computer-based test systems, data-acquisition tools, and automated test software.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with ERP, CMMS, electronic work-order, or configuration-management systems.
Ability to work within ISO, AS9100, or similar quality and configuration-management systems.
Ability to work independently after initial instruction while recognizing when technical guidance or escalation is required.
Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, problem-solving ability, and written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to obtain and maintain customer- or contract-required certifications for equipment operation or site access.
U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance as required by contract.
Commitment to safety, security, quality, ethical conduct, and continuous improvement.

Nice To Haves

Previous exposure to RF/microwave, communications, sensing, or other complex electronic systems is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

Troubleshoot electronic assemblies and subsystems to the component level, including faults involving diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, and RF devices.
Read and interpret schematics, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, specifications, test procedures, and technical manuals to identify faults in RF, analog, and digital circuits.
Determine appropriate corrective actions and create or update work instructions for component replacement and printed circuit board rework performed by authorized personnel.
Set up and operate RF/microwave and general-purpose electronic test equipment, including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, power meters, function generators, and logic analyzers.
Conduct functional, performance, and acceptance testing in accordance with approved procedures and technical requirements.
Assist with the calibration and operational verification of test equipment, test configurations, and associated systems.
Support the integration and modification of microwave RF modules, power supplies, control circuitry, electronic assemblies, and associated cables and harnesses.
Perform limited teardown and reassembly required to access assemblies, install or remove line-replaceable units, and verify equipment operation.
Accurately record test data, troubleshooting results, repair actions, and configuration changes in maintenance logs, work orders, and electronic tracking systems.
Follow established processes for discrepancy reporting, nonconformance documentation, corrective actions, quality assurance, and configuration management.
Assist with the preparation and revision of work instructions, test procedures, checklists, and related technical documentation.
Use computer-based test systems, automated data-acquisition tools, ERP/CMMS applications, configuration-management systems, and standard business software.
Comply with company, customer, and regulatory requirements involving ESD controls, RF exposure, high voltage, hazardous materials, security, and export controls.
Support audits, inspections, continuous-improvement activities, and efforts to improve safety, quality, cost, schedule, and operational efficiency.
May be assigned responsibility for the routine status, organization, and upkeep of a laboratory, test area, or equipment set.
Understand basic budget constraints involving consumables, test equipment, and maintenance activities. Identify and escalate conditions likely to exceed established funding or resource limits.
Work primarily in laboratory, shop, test, and production environments, including secure or restricted-access areas.
Safely work around active RF equipment, high-voltage power supplies, energized systems, and sensitive electronic assemblies while using required PPE and ESD controls.
Frequently stand, walk, use hand tools, and work at benches or test stations. Duties may require bending, kneeling, reaching into equipment, using a ladder or step stool, and pushing or pulling carts or equipment stands.
Occasionally lift, carry, or move electronic assemblies, tools, and test equipment weighing up to 35–40 pounds.
Work overtime, alternate shifts, or weekends when necessary to support program schedules and mission requirements.
Perform other duties as assigned.
