Electronics Technician Maintenance III (CBSP) SATCOM
About The Position
The Electronics Technician Maintenance (ETM) III applies advanced technical knowledge to solve complex problems that typically cannot be solved solely by referencing manufacturers' manuals or similar documents. Examples of such problems include determining the location and density of circuitry, evaluating electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, and incorporating engineering changes. Work typically requires an understanding of the interrelationships of circuits, exercising independent judgment in performing such tasks as making circuit analyses, calculating wave forms, and tracing relationships in signal flow, using complex test instruments such as high frequency pulse generators, frequency synthesizers, distortion analyzers, and complex computer control equipment. Work may be reviewed by supervisor for general compliance with accepted practices. This position may provide technical guidance to lower level technicians. The ideal candidate will have ten (10) years of experience performing overhauls and repairs on any of the following shipboard electronics systems: Commercial Broadband Satellite Program (CBSP), Digital Modular Radio (DMR), Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT), High Frequency (HF), Radio Frequency (RF), High Frequency Radio Group (HFRG), Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN), Electronic Support Measures (ESM), or Naval Shipboard Antenna Systems.

- Complete understanding of electrical safety, raw AC/DC power handling, and Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP/RF radiated power) protection.
- Ability to read, interpret, and execute steps in System Operational Verification Test (SOVT) documents.
- Proficiency in reading and interpreting shipboard installation drawings (IRD, SID, SHIPALT, LAR).
- Demonstrated experience with shipboard hardware installation, high-standard cable management, and conducting thorough physical inspections.
- Hands-on proficiency in configuring and verifying settings on Cisco routers and network switches.
- Experience configuring and managing cryptographic equipment, specifically the KG-175 TACLANE.

- Understanding SATCOM architecture (ship/shore), SATCOM modem settings.
- Ability to deliver detailed technical documentation and final system status reports.
- Competent in operating a Digital Multimeter for AC/DC power verifications and DC-bias troubleshooting.
- Competent in operating a Spectrum Analyzer for setup, signal display, and analysis of measurements.
- Competent in operating a Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) for troubleshooting SATCOM links.
- Capability to use a LAN Cable Tester for Ethernet cable verification.
- Proficient with terminal emulators (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) and GUI-based management interfaces.
- HS Diploma
- Ability to communicate effectively in English, both verbally and in writing.
- Ability to interface effectively with all levels of technical and management personnel.
- Must maintain a Secret US DoD security clearance.
