About The Position

An Engineering Technician IV provides support to the engineering and design staff by performing a variety of more complex or non-routine assignments during the installation, maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, calibration, testing, fabrication, construction, and operation of diverse electronic/mechanical equipment and systems in accordance with engineering specifications. The ideal candidate will have knowledge of telemetry antennas and associated sub-systems. Job duties include, but are not limited to, operations, maintenance, and sustainment engineering support of telemetry tracking systems, data transmission, and network systems under general technical guidance. Real-time support duties include establishing end-to-end connectivity for voice, video, and data communications. The candidate will monitor real-time missions for abnormalities and troubleshooting issues as they arise utilizing RF spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other electronics and communications test equipment. This role requires a working knowledge of local and wide area networks (LAN/WAN) and hands-on experience terminating and testing coaxial, network, and fiber optic cabling. The candidate must be able to work independently as well as part of a team, making critical decisions in high-pressure situations. Duties include performing preventative maintenance on all equipment in accordance with established procedures (Local Work Cards), operating procedures, tech manuals, and other official documentation, as well as creating trouble tickets using the Maximo database to track work performed. Regular communication with customers and counterparts through email, phone, virtual, and in-person meetings is expected. The candidate must be able to work overtime, including weekends, as well as varying shifts and site locations to accommodate mission support objectives. Some travel may be required.
