Responsibilities

Inspect, repair, modify, and test aircraft components in accordance with FAA regulations, Repair Station Manual requirements, approved technical data, and customer specifications.
Performing complete operation evaluation, disassembly, repairs, reassembly, test, diagnoses, and correction of problems.
Test and calibrate parts and mechanisms to meet tolerances and product specifications; repairs as necessary
Utilize precision measuring instruments, hand tools, specialized fixtures, and test equipment to support repair and overhaul activities.
Ensure all repairs and testing meet established FAA, quality, safety, and airworthiness requirements.
Identify, document, and report unserviceable, unsafe, or nonconforming conditions.
Support internal audits, customer audits, FAA inspections, and regulatory requirements as needed.
Collaborate with inspectors, engineers, supervisors, and other technicians to resolve technical issues and meet production and customer delivery requirements and turnaround times
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment in accordance with 5S and continuous improvement practices.
Participate in technical training and maintain required certifications, qualifications, and repair station authorizations.
Perform advanced electrical troubleshooting, fault isolation, diagnosis, repair, overhaul, modification, and functional testing of aerospace components and systems.
Diagnose complex electrical and electromechanical discrepancies to the component and circuit level, identifying root causes rather than simply replacing suspected components.
Analyze electrical faults using wiring diagrams, schematics, engineering drawings, technical manuals, manufacturer maintenance instructions, and other approved technical data.
Utilize and interpret readings from digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, insulation resistance testers, hipot equipment, specialized test fixtures, and other electrical/electronic test equipment as applicable.
Troubleshoot circuits involving power distribution, switches, relays, sensors, motors, actuators, connectors, wiring, and other electrical and electromechanical devices.
Perform continuity, resistance, voltage, current, insulation, and functional testing to verify component performance and isolate discrepancies.
Develop logical troubleshooting approaches for intermittent, complex, and difficult-to-reproduce electrical failures.
Identify trends, recurring failures, and unusual component conditions and communicate findings to engineering, quality, and supervisory personnel.
Accurately document troubleshooting steps, test results, defects, corrective actions, and final test results in work orders and maintenance records.
Determine when additional technical support, engineering assistance, or approved data is required to complete a repair.
Demonstrated experience troubleshooting electrical, electronic, or electromechanical systems, preferably in an aerospace, aviation, industrial, military, or similar technical environment.
Ability to independently interpret and work from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, engineering drawings, technical manuals, and troubleshooting procedures.
Strong understanding of electrical fundamentals, including voltage, current, resistance, continuity, grounding, short circuits, open circuits, and circuit protection.
Demonstrated ability to use electrical test equipment and interpret test results to isolate faults.
Ability to apply a systematic, root-cause approach to electrical troubleshooting rather than relying solely on component replacement.
Ability to diagnose complex or intermittent electrical discrepancies and determine appropriate corrective action.
