Responsibilities
Conduct subsystem pre-operational checks using approved engineering documentation and test procedures. Configure and prepare line-replaceable units (LRUs) and subsystem components for single- and multi-thread interface testing and operation. Execute subsystem- and system-level ground test plans for integration, verification, and validation. Troubleshoot system and subsystem discrepancies to component level, isolate faults, and help resolve them promptly. Identify LRU failures and perform or coordinate repairs, replacements, and retesting. Support EMI/TEMPEST testing of airborne subsystems and related integration work. Perform aircraft pre-flight checks to confirm system and subsystem readiness for flight operations. Operate electronic test equipment—including LAN test devices, network analyzers, TDRs, digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, function and signal generators, spectrum analyzers, power/watt meters, and fiber-optic test equipment—to troubleshoot, verify, and assess performance. Support in-flight testing and, when required, serve as an onboard observer on airborne platforms. Prepare, review, and maintain engineering documentation, test records, and other technical data. Provide technical input on design changes that improve mission effectiveness, reliability, maintainability, and operational efficiency. Coordinate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, field support, and customer organizations to resolve technical issues and support program execution.
