What You'll Do- Help build aircraft subsystems integration test labs
- Read wiring diagrams, schematics, and understand common electrical symbols and components
- Fabricate wire harnesses from diagrams and BOMs (bills of materials)
- Repair and replace aircraft subsystem components in a lab environment
- Provide day‑to‑day lab support, including component removal and installation
- Maintain lab documentation for lab modifications, repairs, and upgrades
- Inspect the work of other technicians to ensure quality and conformity with design specifications
- Assist in troubleshooting subsystems integration issues
- Fabricate and ring‑out wiring harnesses for testing/debugging purposes
- Follow proper working techniques for cleanliness, reliability, and quality
- 3+ years of experience as an electrical technician in aviation, aerospace, or a similar industry
- Technical skills and expertise in avionics and aircraft subsystems operation and troubleshooting
- Hands‑on experience cutting, splicing, and crimping wires to fabricate a wide variety of harness types
- Extreme attention to detail and high expectations for quality technical work
- Ability to replace various subsystem components
- A safety‑conscious mindset for ensuring the well‑being of all working in the labs
- Aviation/aerospace experience, especially military aircraft maintenance
- A&P certification (Airframe preferred; Powerplant also acceptable)
- Hands‑on wiring expertise: connectors, crimping tools, and intricate harness work
- A&P License (if not already held as part of ideal background)
- Experience with FAA type certification and conformal test setups
