About The Position

The Traveling Aircraft Mechanic II (Avionics) performs the full range of military tactical aircraft maintenance and maintains, repairs, and modifies aircraft structures and structural components of moderate difficulty. This role involves maintaining and repairing aircraft components including flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components. The mechanic applies technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems to determine equipment malfunctions and restore equipment to operational status. They also apply comprehensive technical expertise to solve moderate to complex problems by interpreting technical documentation such as blueprints or manufacturer's manuals, and require a working knowledge of technical publications. The incumbent receives technical guidance from supervisors or higher-level technicians, may occasionally lead teams through complex aircraft tasks, and may make entries in aircraft logs and records. Prioritizing workload to maintain schedules on assigned projects is essential. Responsibilities include removing and installing aircraft subsystem assemblies and components, servicing and lubricating aircraft and subsystems, preparing aircraft for inspections and maintenance checks, performing scheduled and special inspections, and performing limited maintenance operational checks. Troubleshooting aircraft systems using special tools and test equipment, and performing operator maintenance on tools and ground support equipment are also key duties. The role requires a thorough knowledge of aircraft mechanical component troubleshooting, repair procedures, and parts replacement, as well as knowledge of electrical theory and unique aircraft tools. Participation in maintenance test flights and operation checks is required. A working knowledge of technical publications and the Government STAMIS for making entries in aircraft logs and records is necessary. The mechanic inspects all required aeronautical type maintenance performed by Aircraft Mechanic I. Specific certifications may be required, such as an FAA Powerplant License or a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Powerplant License, or a minimum of five years documented experience as a Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (FEDS) operator. DoD EPA Refrigerant Processing Certificate Section 608 Technician Certification (Universal) or Minimum Type II may also be required. The role may involve duties as a Foreign Object Elimination/Foreign Object Debris (FOE/FOD) Program Administrator, non-crew member duties, or crane operator duties requiring specific experience and compliance with OSHA regulations. Aircraft condition evaluations (ACE) inspection duties may also be performed. Use of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) may be required.
