Electronics Technician - 3rd Shift - ***Premium Posting***
About the Role
Electronics Technicians perform electrical and electronic testing in accordance with test procedures and present results for inspection to demonstrate satisfactory equipment operation. Technicians operate various meters such as: multimeters, megohmmeters, signal generators, function generators, impedance bridges, oscilloscopes, and power meters. They perform cable testing for continuity and insulation resistance of installed cables and operate shipboard electronic systems to support testing.
Technicians troubleshoot, repair, adjust, and operate complex electronic systems and resolve technical problems with engineering and supervision. They are encouraged to improve how testing is prepared and executed through a continuous improvement program. Electronics Technicians complete and maintain training to perform the duties of “Safety Technician,” which requires making systems and components safe for trade work utilizing Lockout Tags Plus procedures.
Technicians may perform work on energized equipment if required and must understand and comply with the Electric Boat Safety Manual and technical manual operating requirements. Candidates must be willing to obtain and maintain radiological dosimetry and may be required to perform work within radiologically controlled areas. Candidates must obtain and maintain a security clearance. After qualification and clearance, candidates may support test executions during sea trials to operate, troubleshoot, and repair, if necessary, various electronic systems.
