About The Position

The Electronics Technician Maintenance III (Device/Equipment Maintainer) applies advanced technical knowledge to solve complex electronics and equipment problems that generally cannot be resolved by relying only on manufacturer manuals or similar documentation. Work may involve locating and evaluating circuitry, assessing electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, applying engineering changes, analyzing circuits and waveforms, and tracing signal flow using complex test instruments and computer-control equipment. Work may be reviewed by a supervisor for general compliance with accepted practices, and the position may provide technical guidance to lower-level technicians.

The Device/Equipment Maintainer resolves difficult operating problems by configuring equipment, circuits, or channels to work around issues, and by developing unusual system configurations that allow test programs to run without disrupting ongoing work. The role maintains specialized electronic computer-based equipment and devices used for data entry and retrieval in jet-engine maintenance and production, including task-specific tablets, laptops, engine data downloaders, display devices, and terminals. The position also provides technical assistance to lower-level operators and helps programmers, systems analysts, and subject matter specialists resolve problems.

The position supports employee network access processing, assists the Network Administrator, repairs and maintains local computers and servers, supports users of Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office products, troubleshoots systems, performs local software updates, and provides help desk support for email and computer- or printer-related issues. Other tasks may be assigned. This is a temporary position with an estimated end date of May 27, 2027, and a term not to exceed 180 days. The role is located at NOLA 159th FW CRF.
