Solid understanding of RF, analog, and digital circuit behavior
Skilled in troubleshooting point‑to‑point wiring and aircraft harness assemblies
Experience with continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, and pin‑to‑pin verification
Proficient in isolating and repairing faults at the component and system level on complex avionics equipment
Skilled in interpreting technical data packages, including interface control documents (ICDs), test procedures, and wire routing diagrams
Familiarity with advanced RF testing: impedance matching, signal path loss, VSWR, antenna performance
Working knowledge of fiber optic systems, termination, inspection, and loss testing
Ability to interface with engineering teams to provide feedback during system validation and test development
Lab & System Expertise
Deep knowledge of airborne systems such as radar, electronic warfare (EW), comm/nav/ident, and flight control computers
Extensive use of avionics test sets, avionics data loaders, mission planning systems, and / or reprogramming tools
Use of bus analysis tools for MIL‑STD‑1553 and / or Ethernet avionics buses
Ability to fabricate and troubleshoot test harnesses and breakout cables to custom specs
Comfortable working in fast‑paced prototype labs and supporting engineering changes or rapid reconfiguration of test setups
Tools / Software
Skilled in the use of test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, function generators, DC power supplies)
Basic computer skills for data entry and reporting (e.g., Excel, Word, electronic maintenance logs)
Use of handheld avionics tools (e.g., crimpers, pin insertion / extraction tools, torque wrenches)
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES Looking for a skilled Field Technician 3 to support our customer’s EA-18G Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) at PT. Mugu, CA. This includes planning, evaluation, operation, repair, maintenance, upgrade and documentation of laboratory system hardware, software, operating systems and firmware in support of software and product development. Laboratory environments include software development laboratories, engineering benches, integration and test benches, workstations, system emulation laboratories, avionics emulations and simulations, and threat environment simulators.
The successful candidate will have a background in the operation and maintenance of RADAR, or Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, or commercial digital and RF equipment, or other electronics background, and will have experience testing, troubleshooting, and performing repairs with minimal supervision. Knowledge in the proper usage of RF / Digital test equipment such as a multi‑meter, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, and power meter is desired. This position will serve on‑site at our customer’s EA-18G Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) at PT. Mugu, CA.
Planning, evaluating, operating, repairing, maintaining, upgrading and documenting laboratory system hardware, software, operating systems and firmware in support of software and product development.
Perform a variety of maintenance and technical support on products such as equipment, integrated systems and subsystems, and software at customer and / or field locations.
Troubleshoots and diagnoses malfunctions to eliminate problems in minimum time.
Analyzes and evaluates products and related performance
Installs and upgrades products, ensuring coordinative engineering field change.
Maintains effective customer communications and relations.
May provide onsite training of customer support personnel.
REQUIRED EDUCATION High School Diploma / GED is required. School must be accredited.
WORK HOURS 9 / 80 workweek. No overtime. No weekends. Lab hours are from 6am - 6pm so shifts would fall in that range. Potentially limited travel (around 10%).
ADDITIONAL Applicants responding to this position will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements by currently possessing the ability to view classified government information.
Employment will be contingent on clearing a drug screen and background check. Both must clear prior to start date.
