FAA Engineering Technician

About the role

Performs highly complex tasks and has in-depth knowledge for specific production processes required for the manufacture, assembly, repair or modification of products. Is accountable for the manufacturing and/or testing of new and/or prototype products. Work guided by diverse procedures, processes and/or technical methods of varying complexity. Incumbents have some freedom to select best methods and procedures to follow to complete assignments. Tasks are complex in nature where considerable judgment and initiative are required in resolving problems and making recommendations. Decisions/actions may have an impact beyond the jobs immediate work unit or team. Work conducted under general Supervision. Situations not covered by standard processes, procedures and methods are referred to expert resource. May provide functional guidance to others performing similar work and/or act as team lead. May demonstrate work methods to new employees.

Responsibilities

• Directs and succeeds specific work skill (know-how) to group members.
• Works under the direction of managers or with engineers to manufacture and/or test prototype and/or new customer products.
• Provides functional guidance to others performing similar work and/or acts as team lead.
• Demonstrates the abilities to produce useful engineering solutions for assigned problems in an independent manner.
• May provide training programs for customers and provide direction to employees on the work and/or test methodologies.

Requirements

• Five to ten years of relevant experience.
• Specifically, 4+ years of electrical hardware engineering experience.
• Ability to interpret test failures on test panels, then take that failure data and troubleshoot to the root cause of the failure.
• Knowledge of module / component level analog / linear circuits including signal conditioning, data conversion (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog).
• Experience troubleshooting to the component level on CCA’s when exposed to abnormal environmental conditions (heat and cold cycles).
• Lead resolution of hardware anomalies root cause and corrective action at board and box levels.
• Advanced solder certification.
• Comprehensive knowledge and working experience in Ohm's Law.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics or equivalent work experience.

Benefits

Physical Demands: Duties of this position are performed in a manufacturing environment with occasional to frequent exposure to elements such as noise, dust, chemicals, operating machinery, temperature extremes, etc. Duties of the position require periodic light physical effort and exertion including prolonged repetitive motions requiring manual dexterity, precise hand/eye coordination, sitting in confined workspaces, using tools and equipment, as well as, moving and handling materials. Duties may require periodic heavy manual labour including lifting objects. Duties require extended periods of sustained visual concentration on detailed documentation and product assemblies. Above demands are to be carried out within the local existing Health and Safety guidelines.
