Engineering Technician II

** Description*
* ** Keep the Fleet Ready - Hands-On Technical Role Supporting U.S. Navy Operations*
* If you enjoy troubleshooting, working with real equipment, and being part of a tight-knit team, this role puts you right in the middle of mission-critical work supporting U.S. Navy sonar systems.

Leidos is hiring a  
** Towed Systems Technician
** in  
** Poulsbo, WA
** to support the maintenance, repair, and deployment of towed acoustic arrays used on submarines and surface ships.

** Why This Role Stands Out*
* +  
** Hands-on technical work**  - not a desk job

+  
** Tight-knit, team-oriented environment**  - people genuinely enjoy working together

+  
** Autonomy without micromanagement**  - you're trusted to manage your work

+  
** Visible impact**  - you'll see systems go from broken to mission-ready

+  
** Flexible work environment**  - music, phones, and a relaxed (but productive) shop culture

** What You'll Be Doing*
* + Troubleshoot, test, and repair electronic and mechanical components of towed sonar systems

+ Perform inspections and fault isolation on array modules

+ Support system assembly, installation, and removal on submarines and surface ships

+ Operate tools, test equipment, and material handling equipment (including forklifts)

+ Travel (CONUS/OCONUS) as needed to support operational requirements

** What the Work Environment Is Actually Like*
* + Day starts with a  
** quick team sync at 0700
** to align on priorities

+ Work rotates between  
** shop tasks, maintenance, and pier-side support*
* + Mix of  
** independent work and team collaboration throughout the day*
* + Schedule can shift based on operational needs-keeps the work dynamic

+ Leadership is  
** hands-off and supportive*
* -you're expected to own your work, not be micromanaged

+ Team culture is  
** laid-back but focused*
* ** to meet strict deadlines*
* -people often build strong friendships inside and outside of work

** What Makes Someone Successful Here*
* + Stays engaged and takes initiative-there's always something that needs to get done

+ Can focus and follow tasking in a fast-moving environment

+ Takes ownership of learning and completing qualifications (PQS)

+ Asks questions and seeks hands-on learning opportunities

+ Enjoys problem-solving and working with equipment

** Training & Career Growth*
* You'll start as a  
** Tech II
** and receive on-the-job training.

+  
** Clear path to Tech III (typically within 1-2 years)
** after completing qualifications

+ Opportunities to advance into  
** higher-level technician roles (Tech IV/V)*
* + Ability to support more advanced work, including  
** CASREP missions and increased travel*
* + Proven track record of employees moving to other IMA sites for career progression

** Basic Qualifications*

+ Experience using electronic test equipment and hand/power tools

+ U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a

Experience with sonar or related systems (AN/BQQ, SQQ-89, etc.)

+ Fiber optics experience or certification

+ Mechanical aptitude and/or forklift experience

+ Familiarity with Microsoft Office

** Compensation*
* + This position is covered under the Service Contract Act and is subject to minimum wage requirements as well as the minimum Health and Welfare benefit.

+ Leidos will ensure that all provisions are met through their wages and benefits.  
** The pay for this position will be $24.34/hr.*
* ** The Bottom Line*
* This role isn't just about turning wrenches-it's about being part of a team that takes pride in getting systems operational and supporting real-world missions.

People who succeed here enjoy the work, the team, and the environment-and many stay connected long after they leave.
