Job description

100% On-Site | 1st Shift | Active DoD Secret Clearance Required

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Component-Level Electronics Test Technician to support the testing, troubleshooting, diagnosis, repair, and verification of sophisticated electronic assemblies and systems. This position requires strong hands‑on electronics experience and the demonstrated ability to troubleshoot electronic equipment down to the individual component level. The technician will work with analog, digital, mixed‑signal, and power electronics and collaborate closely with engineering, production, and quality teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform component‑level troubleshooting on analog, digital, mixed‑signal, and power electronic assemblies.
• Diagnose and repair electronic assemblies at the board and individual component level.
• Analyze circuit schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation to isolate faults.
• Use advanced diagnostic equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, signal generators, and multimeters.
• Apply electronics theory, including Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, transistor theory, operational amplifiers, digital logic, and power conversion, to fault analysis.
• Identify failed or out‑of‑specification components including resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, and power devices.
• Conduct functional and environmental testing to verify repairs.
• Document failure modes, root causes, repairs, and corrective actions in applicable maintenance or quality systems.
• Provide technical support to production, engineering, and quality teams.
• Assist in developing troubleshooting procedures, test plans, and repair documentation.
• Support design, test, checkout, modification, fabrication, and assembly of prototype electromechanical systems and specialized test equipment.
• Fabricate simple hardware as required.

Required Qualifications

• Associate's degree in a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience.
• Minimum 1 year of relevant electronics experience.
• Proven ability to diagnose and repair electronic assemblies at the component level.
• Strong understanding of analog circuits, including amplifiers, filters, oscillators, and power supplies.
• Strong understanding of digital circuits, including logic families, microcontrollers, and communication interfaces.
• Working knowledge of power electronics, including linear and switching regulators and motor drives.
• Fundamental knowledge and proficiency in the use of related electronic tools and test equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Ability to fabricate simple hardware as required.
• Clear computer and test equipment knowledge.
• Active Department of Defense Secret security clearance required at time of hire.

Preferred Qualifications

• FCC First Class license or equivalent electronics‑related credential.
• Experience troubleshooting complex military, aerospace, defense, RF, communications, or other high‑reliability electronics.
• Experience performing root‑cause analysis and documenting corrective actions.
• Experience supporting engineering prototypes or specialized electronic test equipment.
