Electro Mechanical Technician Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Practical experience in PCB/wire harness soldering, strong mechanical aptitude, and familiarity with workshop tools (drill press, hand tools, taps/dies).
• Security Clearance Required: Secret , but candidates can start as uncleared. In the instance that an uncleared candidate is selected, candidate must complete paperwork sent by Amentum’s PERSEC team upon offer acceptance. Once the candidate completes everything required and PERSEC has submitted them for clearance processing, they may start with Amentum in an uncleared capacity. PERSEC will then “hand them off” to the FSO. However, since it takes quite some time for NRL’s badging and building access, the program may submit that paperwork as soon as the offer has been extended.
