Senior Electronics / Avionics Technician

About the role

This is a hands-on technical role supporting the testing, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance of complex electronic and electro-mechanical avionics hardware in a production and MRO environment. The position focuses on bench-level execution using established procedures and technical documentation—not engineering design or software development. You’ll work in a climate-controlled, OSHA VPP Star-certified facility alongside skilled technicians, manufacturing engineers, and test engineers to keep production and repair operations running safely, efficiently, and at the highest quality standards.

This role supports advanced avionics systems used on commercial and military aircraft, including the Boeing 737/787 and platforms such as the F-18, F-35, Harrier, and Apache. It offers long-term growth opportunities within operations, technical leadership, and training.

Responsibilities

• Perform hands-on setup, testing, troubleshooting, repair, and overhaul of complex electronic and electro-mechanical equipment.
• Execute testing using established procedures, schematics, and technical documentation, including Engineering, Manufacturing, and Component Maintenance Manuals.
• Conduct functional, vibration, and thermal cycle testing (based on assignment).
• Troubleshoot equipment at the component and system level using schematics and diagnostic tools.
• Test, calibrate, adjust, and maintain measuring and indicating instruments to defined standards.
• Monitor process performance and product quality, responding quickly to production or repair issues.
• Adjust approved process parameters (within engineering guidelines) to maintain quality and prevent downtime.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Test Engineers to communicate observed issues, trends, and “watch items.”
• Train and support junior technicians as assigned.
• Follow all safety, quality, and regulatory requirements in a high-reliability aerospace environment.

Note: This role is focused on execution and technical support. It does not include product design, software development, or engineering ownership.

Requirements

• High School Diploma or GED
• 2-year technical degree/certificate in Electronics, Avionics, Electro-Mechanical Technology, or similar OR 2+ years of equivalent hands-on industry experience
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, drawings, and technical procedures
• Comfortable working with electronic test equipment and physical hardware
• Ability to lift/move up to 35 pounds
• Willingness to work overtime or shift schedules as required
• Must be at least 18 years of age

This role may require access to U.S. export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon proving U.S. Person status (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee).

Skills

• 6+ years of hands-on experience as an electronics, avionics, or electro-mechanical technician
• Experience supporting production, manufacturing, MRO, or repair environments
• Familiarity with aerospace, defense, or regulated industries (preferred)
• Comfortable using a PC to access documentation, drawings, and instructions
• Strong team skills and willingness to mentor less-experienced technicians
