We are currently seeking a RF & Digital Circuit Technician (30084) to support our NSWC customer in Crane, IN. The ideal candidate will be able to perform the following duties, as well as possess the following education and experience:
This candidate will be an experienced Engineering Technician to perform hands‑on circuit analysis and troubleshooting on RF and digital electronic assemblies supporting U.S. Department of Defense programs. The ideal candidate is comfortable working from schematics, diagnosing complex faults, and documenting findings in a controlled, mission‑focused environment.

• Perform circuit analysis on RF and digital circuitry, including fault isolation to component level.
• Troubleshoot and repair printed circuit boards (PCBs), modules, and cable assemblies using schematics, block diagrams, and test procedures.
• Analyze signal integrity and verify performance of digital and mixed‑signal circuits (e.g., clocks, data buses, ADC/DAC paths).
• Conduct RF measurements and verification (e.g., gain, noise, frequency response, spurs/harmonics, return loss/VSWR as applicable).
• Use lab instrumentation to characterize and debug circuits: spectrum analyzer, signal generator, network analyzer, oscilloscope, DMM, power supplies, logic analyzer, etc.
• Document test results, root cause, corrective actions, and recommendations in accordance with program and quality requirements.
• Support integration/test activities and collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Maintain configuration control and follow DoD security, safety, and handling procedures.

• 6 years of hands‑on electronics troubleshooting and circuit analysis.

• High school Diploma

• RF fundamentals: impedance matching, filters, mixers, LNAs/PAs, PLLs/synthesizers, modulation basics.
• Digital fundamentals: timing/clocking, SERDES concepts, FPGA/MCU interfaces, common buses (SPI, I2C, UART).
• Experience with environmental or acceptance testing (ESS, ATP, EMI/EMC support).
• Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC‑610/620/7711/7721) or J‑STD‑001.
• Experience working under AS9100/ISO‑like quality systems or formal test documentation control.
• Demonstrated experience with RF and digital circuitry troubleshooting and measurement.
• Strong ability to interpret schematics, datasheets, and wiring diagrams; familiarity with mixed‑signal systems.
• Proficiency with common RF/digital lab test equipment and measurement best practices.
• Experience isolating failures to component level and implementing repairs/rework (as appropriate to role).
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and communicate findings effectively.

• Secure lab/production environment supporting defense programs.
• Hands‑on bench work; use of ESD controls and controlled documentation practices.

• May require occasional overtime or schedule flexibility based on program needs.
• Shift work may be required based on program needs.
• Typical 1st Shift: 6:00 am - 4:00 pm.
• Typical 2nd Shift: 3:00 pm - 1:00 pm.
• Beginning and ending times include flexibility depending on the incumbent’s schedule (regular vs RDO (regular/rostered day off)).
