Responsibilities

• Perform in-process and final acceptance testing of aerospace ignition system products using electrical test equipment in accordance with internal and customer standards.
• Conduct detailed failure analysis on nonconforming units, working closely with engineering to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions.
• Operate oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, ampere meters, AC and DC power supplies, function generators, and various test loads to verify product performance.
• Program and operate environmental test equipment, including high temperature ovens, thermal cycle chambers, and vibration test equipment, to execute test plans and operational tests on ignition systems.
• Assemble, configure, and maintain electrical and environmental test equipment used in the manufacture of turbine ignition system products.
• Perform routine maintenance and limited troubleshooting and repair on environmental test equipment to ensure reliability and uptime.
• Assist engineering in the design and development of new electrical test equipment and fixtures to support production and testing needs.
• Accurately document all aspects of testing, failure analysis, and equipment maintenance in accordance with standard operating instructions and quality system requirements.
• Use schematics and wiring diagrams to diagnose and resolve electrical and electronic issues at the circuit board level.
• Apply soldering skills to work with surface mount components on printed circuit boards as needed for test, repair, or rework activities.

Essential Skills

• Associate degree in a technical field of study with a concentration in electronics, such as Industrial Electronics, Electronics Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or Engineering Technology.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in the assembly and testing of mechanical and electrical assemblies.
• Proficient use of electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), power supplies, and function generators.
• Ability to develop basic PLC programs and set up and program temperature controllers.
• Demonstrated ability to solder surface mount components at the printed circuit board (PCB) level.
• Hands-on experience working with electronic components at the circuit board level, including timers, comparators, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and logic chips.
• Ability to read and use schematics and wiring diagrams to troubleshoot electrical and electronic issues.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for documenting test results and collaborating with engineering and production teams.
• Solid troubleshooting skills for electrical, electronic, and test equipment issues.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Solder certification to J standard and/or IPC-610 training is a plus.
• Experience with environmental test equipment such as high temperature ovens, thermal cycle chambers, and vibration test systems.
• Experience in aerospace or high-reliability electronics testing is beneficial.
• Familiarity with assembling and maintaining custom test fixtures and loads.
• Comfort working within structured standard operating instructions and quality system requirements.
