Description du poste

Assured Space Access Technologies, Inc. is a defense and engineering firm delivering phased array, radar, RF payload, and secure communications solutions to government and prime contractor customers. We are headquartered in Irvine, California. This role joins the technician group on the Ground Based Radar transmit/receive module team, which builds and tests the modules at the core of our ground-based phased array radar.

Team: Ground Based Radar (GBR) Products

Openings: 3

Location: Irvine, CA (on‑site)

Employment Type: Full‑Time

Pay Range: $36.00 – $50.00 per hour

Clearance: This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. An active clearance is preferred.

Position Summary

As a Senior Electronics Technician on the TRMM team, you will build, test, troubleshoot, and rework the transmit/receive modules at the heart of our ground‑based phased array radar. You will run the automated microwave, power, and environmental test stations, find and fix the problems they uncover, and give engineers clear, accurate data on what is and isn’t working in the build.

We are hiring three technicians as the module moves from first article into production. These are senior seats: we are looking for technicians who have built and tested RF or microwave hardware for years, who read schematics and assembly drawings without help, and who can write the procedures newer technicians follow.

Key Responsibilities

Build and Assembly

• Assemble, integrate, and rework transmit/receive modules and subassemblies to drawings, work instructions, and IPC workmanship standards, including fine-pitch soldering, RF connector and cable installation, and torque‑controlled hardware.
• Perform incoming and in‑process inspection of parts and subassemblies, and record build data and nonconformances on the build traveler.
• Maintain ESD control, cleanliness, and material traceability across the build area.

Test and Troubleshooting

• Run automated RF/microwave, DC power, burn‑in, and environmental test stations from written procedures, and verify station calibration and fixture condition before each run.
• Troubleshoot failing modules to the component or assembly level using network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, and multimeters, and document findings.
• Set up and perform bench measurements for engineering characterization when asked.

Process and Production Support

• Help test station engineers debug new stations, and write and improve test procedures and work instructions from hands‑on build experience.
• Train newer technicians on build, test, and safety practices.
• Support first article inspection, failure analysis, and corrective action, and keep test equipment, fixtures, and lab areas organized and maintained.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent, plus an associate degree, military electronics training, or equivalent technical training.
• 6+ years of hands‑on experience building, testing, and troubleshooting RF, microwave, or high‑reliability electronic assemblies.
• Proficiency with network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, and power supplies.
• Ability to read schematics, assembly drawings, and wiring diagrams, and to troubleshoot to the component level.
• Current IPC J-STD-001 or IPC-A-610 certification, or the ability to obtain it within 90 days.
• Experience working safely with high‑voltage DC and high‑power RF.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
• Ability to work on site in Irvine, CA, including occasional extended shifts during builds.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with transmit/receive modules, phased array, radar, or satellite communications hardware.
• Microelectronics experience such as wire bonding, die attach, or rework under a microscope.
• Experience running automated test stations and test executives (TestStand or Python‑based).
• Experience with environmental testing (thermal cycling, vibration) and burn‑in.
• Experience working within AS9100 quality systems and first article inspection.
• Active Secret clearance.

What we offer

• Overtime eligibility.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) with company matching; and paid time off.
• Professional development support, including training and certifications relevant to your field.
• Relocation assistance considered case by case.
• Hands‑on ownership of real scope in a growing defense technology company.
