  • Coordinate and support Electrical Technicians in the maintenance and operation of complex electronic systems.
  • Troubleshoot, document, and resolve hardware and software discrepancies to determine root causes.
  • Maintain and upgrade Electrical Ground Support Equipment and associated network infrastructure.
  • Gather, format, and analyze technical data including test results and engineering design changes.
  • Produce engineering documentation such as reports, flow charts, block diagrams, and schematics.

What we're looking for

  • High School Diploma or equivalent and 6 years additional education and/or related experience.
  • Ability to obtain a DoD Secret level security clearance (requires U.S. Citizenship).
  • Knowledge and experience with CAD software.
  • Experience working with design, integration, or testing of launch vehicles.
  • Basic electrical testing and diagnostic experience.
