The program also performs data analysis/storage/dissemination (via website/other means) of related weather and environmental data from these systems (25%) and other sources (75%) of in‑situ weather data, logistics, information technology/data administration, and programming.

Duties of the Electronics Technician Maintenance II (ETM II Lab) will include but not limited to the following:

• Electronic component level assembly, bench testing, diagnostics, troubleshooting and/or repair of electronic Line Replaceable Units and processing systems that require the application of a considerable number of different basic but established methods, procedures, and techniques.
• Perform duties in an electronics laboratory environment using bench type electronic testing equipment.
• Conduct testing and troubleshooting down to the component level for environmental monitoring sensors, data collection and processing systems.
• Using oscilloscopes, Digital Volt Meter, ammeters, pulse/function generators, resistance thermometers and waveform generators.
• Quality work following utilizing provided procedures, drawings and schematics.
• Tasks/assignments that require independent responsibility for following procedures, redline drawings, and time constraints for completing assigned tasks with limited supervision to ensure conformance with established policies, procedures, progress efforts and completion deadlines.

The Ideal Electronics Technician Maintenance II (ETM II Lab) will have the following:

• At least four years of experience in maintenance, repair, test, and modification of marine electrical and electronics systems including analog, digital and RF circuitry.
• Demonstrated ability in operating, maintaining, and calibrating microprocessor‑based data acquisition systems, test sets, sensors, laboratory bench equipment and precision calibration electro‑mechanical instruments.
• Ability to work independently with no direct supervision.
• Experience as a team leader.
• Knowledge and skill of SMD repairs and IC replacement.
• Training/experience in ESD awareness/precautions and proficiency in reading electronic schematics.
• Education:
  
  AS/AAS in Electronics, Instrumentation, Engineering Technology or related field.
