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 system's 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.
