P-8 Avionics Technician II

V2X•Point Mugu, CA

About The Position

The P-8 Avionics Technician II maintains assigned T/M/S aircraft electrical generators, load banks, starters, relays, batteries, actuators, circuit breakers, switches, weapons release and control systems, and aircraft instruments. The position also includes serving as a member or leader of an aircraft conventional weapons load team. Frequent direct manual lifting of weights greater than 50 pounds is required to meet daily flight schedule requirements. The technician applies advanced technical knowledge to solve complex problems that cannot typically be resolved solely by consulting manufacturers’ manuals or similar documents. This includes locating and evaluating circuitry, assessing electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, incorporating 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. The technician may provide technical guidance to lower-level technicians and direct Level I work-center personnel to perform specific maintenance actions. The role provides technical support to electronic, structural, and mechanical project T/M/S engineers and customers. The technician prioritizes work to meet the Daily Flight Schedule, makes entries in aircraft logs and records, attends shift-change maintenance meetings, and performs as a QASO. This posting is part of an ongoing talent pipeline and is not tied to an active opening; qualified candidates will be contacted when the role becomes available.
