Electronic Technician - 3rd Shift (onsite)

About the role

The role involves performing electrical tests and troubleshooting on subassemblies, assemblies, and systems for conformance to specifications. Responsibilities include understanding and applying the theory of operation to determine faulty products, following prints, schematics, and verbal/written instructions, operating environmental test chambers, developing test data, preparing test reports, rejecting assemblies that fail tests, and preparing for simple mathematical calculations.

Responsibilities

• Performs electrical tests and troubleshooting on subassemblies, assemblies, and systems for conformance to specifications.
• Understands and applies the theory of operation of the unit under test to determine faulty products due to design, workmanship, environmental, and component defects.
• Reads, understands, and accurately follows prints, schematics, sketches, work from test procedures, and verbal or written instructions.
• Operates environmental test chambers located in dedicated program areas as required to assure workmanship and product performance as required.
• Develops test data to resolve performance problems in connection with the product under test.
• May perform soldering and/or mechanical assembly, as many electronic tests are performed with incomplete circuits.
• Prepares test reports as required.
• Rejects assemblies that fail to conform with test specifications; indicates on proper documents the phase of the test that the assembly failed and indicates what alterations are needed to eliminate the defect.
• Performs simple mathematics, such as determining power consumption, gain efficiency, signal noise ratio, etc., to determine acceptability and locate and record discrepancies on various types of subassemblies.
• Collects data, prepares/maintains records, using either written or electronic media, as required and/or directed by supervision.
• Moves material as directed.
• Determines acceptability, locates, and records discrepancies on various types of subassemblies; uses direct reading instruments, gauges, meters, measuring devices such as continuity meters, specialized mechanical or optical measuring or testing devices, and/or stereo microscopes.
• Stops, starts, and controls equipment as necessary.
• May be required to perform soldering and/or mechanical assembly, as many electronic tests are performed with incomplete circuits.
• May be required to perform simple mathematics, such as to determine power consumption, gain efficiency, signal noise ratio, etc.
• May be required to perform basic soldering and/or mechanical assembly, as many electronic tests are performed with incomplete circuits.
• May be required to perform simple mathematics, such as to determine power consumption, gain efficiency, signal noise ratio, etc.

Requirements

• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
• Must read, understand, and accurately follow prints, schematics, sketches, work from test procedures, and verbal or written instructions.
• Must operate environmental test chambers located in dedicated program areas as required to assure workmanship and product performance as required.
• Must develop test data to resolve performance problems in connection with the product under test.
• Must prepare test reports as required.
• Must reject assemblies that fail to conform with test specifications; indicate on proper documents the phase of the test that the assembly failed and indicate what alterations are needed to eliminate defect.
• Must collect data, prepare/ maintain records, using either written or electronic media, as required and/or directed by supervision.
• May be required to move material as directed.
• Must determine acceptability, locate, and record discrepancies on various types of subassemblies; standard, microelectronic and/or hi-rel; using direct reading instruments, gauges, meters, measuring devices such as continuity meters, specialized mechanical or optical measuring or testing devices and/or stereo microscopes.
• May be required to perform simple mathematics, such as to determine power consumption, gain efficiency, signal noise ratio, etc.
• May be required to perform basic soldering and/or mechanical assembly, as many electronic tests are performed with incomplete circuits.
• May be required to perform simple mathematics, such as to determine power consumption, gain efficiency, signal noise ratio, etc.
