2d•$40,003 - $64,006•Onsite

About The Position

The Technician I will support production and prototype/development RF testing in an antenna test range. The role includes configuring the range for RF operation; installing and assembling test tooling and antennas; setting up and calibrating the range; executing documented tests; and processing and plotting required data. The technician will document and certify test operations, maintain required records, and coordinate range setup and teardown through an internal scheduling system. The position also involves preventive maintenance and other range maintenance, troubleshooting circuits to the component level, assembling electronic circuits, and performing cause-and-effect analysis. The technician may read and document schematic diagrams, conduct special tests with limited engineering oversight, and monitor, analyze, reduce, record, and calculate test data. The role requires teamwork with other technicians and engineering groups, maintaining a regular and predictable schedule, and supporting a safe, efficient, and productive work environment. This is an on-site role requiring work in person five days during each normally scheduled week. Work may take place in an office, laboratory, cleanroom, or production-floor environment. The scheduled shift is 10 PM to 6 AM, Sunday night through Friday morning, with a 15% pay differential. Travel or local commuting between company campuses and other locations may be required. A DoW Interim Secret clearance is required to start and must be maintained; applicants must also be willing and eligible for submission for any applicable higher-level clearance or access if program requirements arise.
