**THIS IS A REPOST - APPLICANTS THAT PREVIOUSLY APPLIED DO NOT NEED TO RE-APPLY TO BE CONSIDERED**

This is skilled work in the repair and maintenance of standard and custom electronics devices, electronics subsystems, and smaller electronics systems. Positions may either function as agency or department-wide technicians responsible for the maintenance and repair of electronics devices, subsystems, or smaller systems; or be involved in the same type of repair independently but under the general supervision of a higher-level electronics technician. Positions calibrate, perform preventive maintenance, troubleshoot, and repair electronics devices or systems made up of several interconnected devices where this interconnection complicates troubleshooting and repair procedures. Documentation in the form of schematic diagrams, wiring diagrams, and repair manuals exist in many instances but may be fragmented or nonexistent in others. Positions may modify existing circuitry to improve performance or affect output or lay out circuitry to provide for special functions such as the interfacing of individual devices into systems. Reliance on existing types of circuits and circuit designs is common. Work is evaluated through analysis of reliability of electronic repair and workability of designs and circuit modifications. This position also assists other entities in the Ferry Division and may require overnight travel. The employee must be able to legally operate a motor vehicle.
