About The Position

The Test Technician II performs technical testing and troubleshooting work in an onsite aerospace manufacturing environment. The role sets up and operates test stands, configures equipment for special tests, records and interprets test results, and identifies and isolates equipment failures.

The technician collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and other team members, communicates work status and shift handoffs, and performs tasks under detailed written or verbal instructions. The position also involves entry-level troubleshooting, calibration, or modification of hardware, fixtures, and software; supporting project teams; prioritizing tasks and managing workflow; resolving problems and maintaining documentation; evaluating non-conformances; and fabricating hardware, tools, equipment, or prototypes from drawings or sketches.
