Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline preferred, with emphasis in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Applied Science, or a related technical field. Equivalent hands‑on technical experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
• Minimum 2 years of hands‑on field engineering, electrical troubleshooting, instrumentation, test, maintenance, installation, or hardware‑integration experience in a relevant technical environment.
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting electrical systems, low‑voltage circuits, wiring harnesses, sensors, connectors, signal paths, grounding issues, continuity faults, intermittent failures, or instrumentation anomalies.
• Demonstrated ability to support hands‑on mechanical integration tasks such as equipment installation, sensor mounting, bracket installation, enclosure installation, cable routing, hardware fit checks, and field modification support.

Responsibilities

• Perform hands-on electrical installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of low‑voltage systems, sensors, wiring harnesses, connectors, instrumentation, and associated field hardware.
• Support mechanical installation and integration activities involving brackets, panels, enclosures, equipment mounts, sensor mounts, cable supports, conduit, raceways, junction boxes, and related hardware.
• Interpret and work from wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, harness drawings, mechanical drawings, interface drawings, installation drawings, and field work instructions to support installation, verification, and fault isolation.
• Conduct electrical and mechanical inspections to verify that installed hardware conforms to design intent, drawing requirements, interface requirements, safety standards, and field installation constraints.
• Troubleshoot complex low‑voltage circuits, signal paths, sensor networks, grounding issues, connector issues, intermittent faults, and instrumentation anomalies using appropriate test equipment including multimeters, oscilloscopes, continuity testers, signal analyzers, and data acquisition tools.
• Assist with fit checks, alignment checks, hardware walkdowns, cable-routing assessments, connector-access evaluations, and field verification of mechanical and electrical interfaces.
• Identify and resolve electrical, mechanical, and integration-related issues in the field using sound engineering judgment and disciplined problem-solving methodology.
• Document field observations, discrepancies, corrective actions, redlines, as-built conditions, test results, and recommended engineering updates accurately and thoroughly in accordance with program requirements.
