Overview
We are seeking a skilled technician to perform testing, overhaul, repair, and troubleshooting of the SPY-1 radar systems, with a focus on the signal processor. The technician will work in a depot-level environment, diagnosing faults at the card and module level, performing verification testing, support maintaining test equipment, and work with the engineering team to report findings. Experience with the AN/SPY-1 radar systemis Signal Processor (SP) is highly preferred but not required.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform detailed troubleshooting, fault isolation, repair, and rework of radar cabinets, electronic assemblies and modules.
- Execute verification test procedures and operational readiness tests.
- Use diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, network analyzers) to set up equipment for testing as well as evaluate system performance.
- Interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, ICDs, and technical manuals to execute maintenance and repair tasks.
- Perform preventive and corrective maintenance following established procedures and documentation standards.
- Replace electronic components, perform soldering/rework, and complete assembly rebuilds as needed.
- Document all maintenance actions, test results, and fault isolation activities clearly and accurately.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to support root-cause analysis and provide detailed technical input.
- Maintain compliance with ESD, safety, controlled-equipment, and classified-material handling requirements.
