About The Position

This posting is part of V2X’s ongoing talent pipeline and is not tied to an active opening. Qualified candidates will be contacted when the role officially becomes available. The Aircraft Electronics Technician III maintains assigned T/M/S aircraft electrical generators, load banks, starters, relays, batteries, actuators, circuit breakers, switches, weapons release and control checks, aircraft instruments, and conventional weapons loading activities. The position requires frequent direct manual lifting of weights greater than 50 pounds to meet requirements on the daily flight schedule. The technician applies advanced technical knowledge to solve complex problems that generally cannot be resolved solely by consulting manufacturers’ manuals or similar documents. The work includes locating and assessing circuitry, evaluating electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, incorporating engineering changes, analyzing circuits and waveforms, tracing signal flow, and 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 or II work-center personnel to accomplish maintenance tasks. The role provides technical support to electronic, structural, and mechanical project T/M/S engineers and customers; prioritizes workload to meet the Daily Flight Schedule; makes entries in aircraft logs and records; attends shift-change maintenance meetings; and performs as a QASO.
