As part of this group, you will work closely with design engineers, firmware/software teams, and test specialists to bring new capabilities from concept to field‐ready deployment.

ABOUT THE JOB

As an Senior Engineering Technician, you will be a hands-on enabler of both prototype and production hardware related to electronic warfare systems. You will support multiple projects by handling assembly, rework, test setup, maintenance, and field readiness activities. This role is essential to keep engineering momentum high, ensuring hardware is built to specification, tested thoroughly, and maintained to perform reliably under operational conditions.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Perform precision PCB rework, including fine-pitch soldering, component replacement, jumper installation, and wiring modifications.

• Support electrical assembly of prototypes and systems for related EW programs.

• Execute test procedures, including setup of instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, analyzers), data capture, and documentation.

• Troubleshoot electrical assemblies and subassemblies, identifying faults or performance issues under engineering guidance.

• Build cable assemblies and wiring harnesses, including crimping, termination, continuity testing, and labeling.

• Conduct incoming inspection of electrical components, PCBs, and assemblies for quality, workmanship, and compliance.

• Maintain lab organization, including ESD-safe practices, tool calibration, equipment upkeep, and inventory tracking.

• Fabricate simple test fixtures, jigs, adapters, and harnesses to support engineering workflows.

• Support system bring-up, validation, and regression testing across development phases.

• Document build steps, test results, rework performed, and lessons learned to improve repeatability and traceability.

• Assist in maintaining and preparing deployment kits to ensure readiness for field testing or operations.

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure timely completion of hardware development tasks.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Hands-on experience in electro-mechanical assembly and prototype builds, including mechanical installs, wiring, soldering, and component handling.

• Strong troubleshooting skills: able to follow test plans, identify failure modes, and work with engineers to resolve issues.

• Proficiency with PCB rework: component removal and replacement down to 0201, wiring modifications, connector/cable work.

• Experience with cable harness fabrication, crimping, and wiring assemblies.

• Good understanding of ESD, safety, and clean-lab protocols; able to maintain rigorous environmental and safety standards.

• Excellent attention to detail; able to document processes, maintain quality control, and track inventory or tooling accurately.

• Comfortable working in fast-paced R&D environment; adaptable as designs and requirements evolve.

• Familiarity with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, environmental chambers, etc.

• Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings/schematics, follow assembly instructions, and use tools/jigs/fixtures properly.

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance (use appropriate one from here - Recruiter to own)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior experience in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) or defense sector, or work involving ruggedized or harsh-environment applications.

• Experience with field deployment of hardware; knowledge of what makes systems reliable in real operational use.

• Basic machining, metal/fabrication skills, or ability to operate manual machine tools.

• Experience with inventory/tracking tools, lab management software, version control for hardware documentation.

• Knowledge of safety standards and maintainable design practices for reliability, thermal management, vibration/shock, etc.
