About The Position

The COLT Test Technician / Depot Sustainment Operator – Maintenance II is the primary custodian of the Common Organizational Level Tester (COLT) and is responsible for the repair, calibration, and sustainment of COLT hardware, associated test kits, and TPS (Test Power Supply) cables used in depot-level support. This is an SCA (Service Contract Act) position governed by the Department of Labor. Blends advanced electronic-maintenance expertise with hands-on operator responsibilities. The incumbent troubleshoots, repairs, and certifies equipment, enforces ESD controls, updates records in SAP-PM, ensures compliance with DFARS, MIL-STD-810/461, and ISO-9001, and provides technical guidance to junior technicians and depot operators. Coordination with Test Engineers is required to schedule maintenance windows that minimize impact on test campaigns, and the role supports continuous-improvement initiatives and safety audits.

Requirements

Familiarity with calibrated test equipment (high-precision digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, frequency counters).
Knowledge of CCA (Circuit Card Assembly) architecture and troubleshooting.
Experience using SAP Plant-Maintenance (PM) for work-order creation, tracking, and parts requisition.
Competence with standard test-equipment software (e.g., LabVIEW, Tektronix VDI).
Understanding of ESD control procedures and ability to enforce them.
Ability to pass a background investigation and obtain a DoD Secret clearance if required.

Nice To Haves

Ability to read, interpret, and modify schematic diagrams, wiring diagrams, and technical manuals.
Willingness to work primarily indoors in climate-controlled labs and test bays, tolerating moderate noise and occasional bright light.
Ability to lift ≤ 25 lb (occasional lifts up to 50 lb with assistance) and use required PPE (safety glasses, ESD wrist strap, hearing protection).
Prior experience on COLT or comparable high-end test equipment.
Demonstrated experience with ESD-safe workstations and ionization equipment.
Experience implementing engineering change notices (ECNs) for avionics test systems.
Familiarity with Lean Six-Sigma, Kaizen, or other continuous-improvement methodologies.
Certifications such as Certified Electronics Technician (CET) or IPC 7711/7721 (rework & repair).
Proficiency with ADIS (Automated Diagnostic Information System) for fault retrieval and reporting.
Hands-on experience repairing and testing TPS cables and maintaining test kits for depot sustainment.

Responsibilities

Perform preventive-maintenance inspections, functional tests, and calibrations; diagnose faults using schematics, service manuals, and ECOs (Engineering Change Order); replace/repair boards, modules, connectors, and firmware.
Disassemble, inspect, and repair COLT test kits (signal generators, load banks, adapters); re-term or replace internal components; verify performance against test specifications.
Conduct continuity, insulation-resistance, and dielectric-strength testing on TPS cables; splice, re-terminate, or replace cable sections per MIL-STD-810/461 requirements; update cable-status records.
Resolve complex malfunctions (intermittent signal loss, timing anomalies, undocumented failure modes); lead (RCA) and document findings in Maintenance Action Reports (MAR).
Review and apply engineering change notices (ECNs) and hardware/firmware updates to COLT, kits, and cables; verify functional and safety compliance before release.
Execute depot-sustainment work orders for kits and TPS cables; perform functional acceptance testing after repair; ensure proper labeling, packaging, and storage of repaired assets.
Team with Engineers, and depot operators on schematic interpretation, ESD best practices, and repair techniques; review rework for SOP compliance.
Update equipment logs, calibration certificates, and maintenance records in SAP & ADIS; ensure adherence to DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement), MIL-STD, and ISO-9001 requirements.
Enforce grounding straps, ionizers, and controlled humidity; conduct safety briefings and participate in periodic safety audits.
Identify reliability trends, propose corrective actions, support Performance Management Team (PMT) events, and contribute to SOP revisions and training material.
Liaise with Test Engineers to schedule maintenance windows that minimize impact on test campaigns; provide rapid response for emergency repairs.
