Shift: 1st - Mon-Fri with occasional overtime, shift adjustments, or weekend work during integration campaigns, test events, and delivery milestones
Position Summary
The Aerospace Electronics Technician builds, integrates, tests, and troubleshoots electronic assemblies that support flight-worthy and mission-critical aerospace systems. This role translates engineering documentation into reliable hardware, maintains high workmanship standards, and helps move products from prototype through low-rate and production builds.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble, wire, solder, rework, and inspect avionics boxes, harnesses, circuit card assemblies, and electromechanical hardware in accordance with drawings, schematics, work instructions, and applicable workmanship standards.
- Perform functional testing, continuity checks, power-on verification, fault isolation, and root-cause troubleshooting using standard bench equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and data acquisition tools.
- Support environmental, vibration, and system-level integration activities by preparing test articles, documenting results, identifying nonconformances, and partnering with engineering to resolve build and test issues quickly.
- Maintain accurate manufacturing and test records, including travelers, inspection logs, as-built configurations, deviations, and material traceability required for aerospace-quality systems.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by recommending updates to tooling, work instructions, fixtures, and assembly methods that improve safety, quality, repeatability, and cycle time.
Qualifications
- Associate degree, technical certification, or formal training in electronics, avionics, electrical engineering technology, or a related field; equivalent professional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
- Minimum of 5 years of progressive hands-on experience in electronics assembly, avionics integration, production test, or aerospace hardware support.
- Demonstrated ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, bills of material, assembly drawings, and test procedures.
- Experience with cable and harness fabrication, connector termination, soldering and rework, and inspection to high-reliability workmanship standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620 and IPC-A-610.
- Experience working in regulated industries
- Support AS9100 / ISO9001 compliance through proper documentation, traceability, and process controls.
- Working knowledge of ESD controls, configuration discipline, and quality documentation in a regulated manufacturing environment.
- Familiarity with ERP, MES, or digital work instruction systems is preferred.
Technical Competencies
- Electronics assembly, harnessing, connectorization, soldering, rework, and inspection for aerospace-quality hardware.
- Test execution, failure isolation, and problem-solving using standard electrical lab equipment and written procedures.
- Ability to interpret engineering intent and communicate clearly, actionable build and test feedback to engineers and peers.
Behavioral Competencies
- High attention to detail and personal accountability in safety-critical work.
- Strong collaboration, follow-through, and willingness to support shifting priorities across prototype and production programs.
- Good judgment, time management, and disciplined decision-making in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
Work Environment
Primarily lab- and production-floor-based within a professional, collaborative aerospace engineering setting, with regular interaction across manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams.
Schedule
Travel
Minimal travel expected, generally less than 10%.
Physical Requirements
Requires prolonged periods sitting or standing at a workstation; frequent use of hands for fine assembly tasks; ability to lift and move hardware, tools, or materials within normal safety limits; and occasional movement between offices, labs, test areas, and secure spaces.
Security Requirements
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Work may be performed in ITAR-regulated, export-controlled, or otherwise restricted environments, and may require the ability to obtain and maintain security clearance if needed for program access.
