About The Position

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking a Test Technician to join their Sykesville, Maryland team. In the Mission Systems sector, you’ll join their experts in developing systems and solutions that keep our world safe. The candidate must be able to apply electronics principles in the fabrication, test, and troubleshooting of complete components, assemblies, devices, circuits, and systems. The Test Technician will perform acceptance test procedures that verify equipment function. This includes, but is not limited to: determining the methods and techniques for effectively monitoring various tests and measuring electrical performance on complex systems; selection, set up, calibration and operation of complex and special equipment and facilities over a broad spectrum of technologies; verification and validation of product and paperwork configuration, test processes and test equipment/setup configuration and calibration; measuring, collecting and recording of electrical performance data including analysis and evaluation of the data, experimental models, resultant data, etc. that verifies the reliability and validity of the desired function, preparing accurate and complete test reports of all recorded data; programming and verification of devices; troubleshooting of systems, devices, processes and/or test set-ups to locate and repair defective areas; assisting engineers in creating designs and/or developing circuits, processes and operations that assure proper function of product and test equipment per design specifications by working from general block diagrams, rough outlines of basic circuits, oral instructions, schematics, etc; making necessary calculations to obtain or compare data as required; developing, constructing and testing highly complex components, assemblies, devices, circuits and systems; developing and constructing experimental and prototype devices, models and systems working from very general information; performing repairs and calibrations as necessary; performing initial procedural tests on new and/or changed equipment; making modifications/calibrations as required to achieve desired results; must be capable of adapting to changing assignments and requirements; development of processes, test specifications and revision notices; performing integration of software and hardware through debugging, writing code and modifying systems; performing maintenance and integration of peripherals and networks. This position will be filled for 4th shift which runs 7am to 7pm (Friday-Sunday only).
