Job description

Engineering Electronics Technician - 100% Travel

Summary

System One is seeking traveling Engineering Electronics Technicians to support telecommunications and FAA site infrastructure projects throughout Texas and surrounding states. Primary responsibilities include preparing sites for rack installations, running power and fiber circuits, installing cabling and equipment (NVR, IPVCS, APC, LTE antennas), and supporting conduit and cable tray installations. The position also involves hands‑on electrical troubleshooting, component‑level repair and calibration of communication systems, documentation support, and coordinating performance verification to ensure systems are operational and inspection‑ready. This is a great opportunity to join a respected government contractor in the engineering and construction services sector.

Important Details

• 6-month contract opportunity to start (most likely will be temp-to-hire; depends on performance and workload)
• Pay rate range: $28 - $40/hr. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Additional "Health & Wellness" rate: $4.93/hr (paid in addition to your hourly pay rate for the 1st 40 hours worked each week)
• Work location: 100% field work in the southwest region (Texas and surrounding states)
• Start date: As soon as possible
• Travel costs will be reimbursed at the government rate (GSA) based on the assigned duty location (project location). This typically includes travel costs (airfare, rental vehicle, personal vehicle mileage, etc.), lodging (hotel), and per diem (meals and incidental expenses). These are reimbursed at the published government (GSA) rates. Employees are reimbursed for all travel expenses, including weekends, at GSA rates.
• Only working time (including travel time) is compensable on this contract. Our intent is to have minimal downtime, but we do schedule opportunities for individuals to return home every six weeks on average for around a week. Given that there is ample overtime (10% - 20% is expected) during deployments, the total work hours typically are more than enough to cover any non-elective downtime.
• Work schedule: Monday – Friday – 7:00 AM – 4 PM (approx.)
• Weekly pay
• Benefits after 30 days (health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, etc.)
• 401k after 30 days
• Job offer will be contingent on drug screen and background check
• US Citizenship required
• Interviews will be conducted via Microsoft Teams

Potential Work Activities

• Support site preparation for contractor installation of racks, ranging from wall mount racks to multiple racks per site.
• Provide critical power circuits and grounding as specified in Engineering Package.
• Provide essential power convenience outlet circuits for alternating racks.
• Mounting of 4’x4’ Fire Rated Plywood for future mounting of Support Equipment.
• Installation of NAS Voice Recorder (NVR) cabling and monitors.
• Installation of Intellectual Property Value Chains (IPVCS) cabling and monitors.
• Installation of Air-to-Ground Protocol Converter (APC) cabling, cards, and monitors.
• Support the installation of new cable trays and conduits as required for racks, cables, NVR, IPVCS, APC, and Telecommunications Infrastructure Replacement (TIR), including Remote (RTIR), installations.
• Install a separate path for fiber at each site, with specific requirements provided by the local FAA POC.
• Support site preparation for LTE antenna installation on roofs, ensuring paths for antenna cables are established.
• Support general installation and construction efforts, including redlines. Drafting personnel will convert redlines into as-built documents.
• Remove and repair or replace components, wires, wire bundles, terminal blocks, and/or connectors.
• Solder, splice, or otherwise install/repair various wire types including coaxial, shielded, solid, and stranded wires.
• Test and troubleshoot electrical components by applying the theory of operation of transistors, solid state components, integrated circuits, motors, servos, power transmissions, and other electrical devices utilizing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, color codes, publications, and other technical data.
• Troubleshoot, repair, align, and calibrate audio equipment and voice communication systems to the component level, utilizing schematics, theory of operation, general and system specific test equipment.
• Schedule performance verification with the FAA TOR to ensure equipment is properly adjusted and ready for flight inspection or operational use.
• Install sensors, wires, cabling, computers, radios, and satellites in an unpredictable, fast paced environment in all weather conditions.
• Perform other responsibilities associated with this position as may be appropriate.

Requirements

• High school diploma is required.
• Work in extreme weather conditions (heat, cold, etc.).
• Lift at least 50 pounds.
• Basic Microsoft suite, Internet, and E-mail.
• Must be able to meet customer security requirements (moderate to high risk). A background check by federal authorities will be performed.
• Must be able to travel up to 100% within the Central Service Area.
