Job description

Job responsibilities

• Directly supervise professional and skilled engineering technicians supporting avionics system testing, integration, debugging, production support, maintenance support, and flight support activities.
• Execute team assignments based on defined objectives, approved processes, engineering direction, production priorities, and program schedules.
• Read, interpret, and apply harness schematics, PCBA schematics, wiring diagrams, interface control documents, engineering drawings, test procedures, work instructions, and production documentation.
• Support avionics integration and test activities from bench-level checkout through subsystem, aircraft, production, maintenance, and flight-support environments.
• Work closely with engineers to support hardware bring-up, design verification, test execution, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and design or process improvements.
• Partner with production teams to resolve build issues, installation problems, test failures, rework needs, hardware readiness concerns, and schedule constraints.
• Collaborate with quality teams to ensure work complies with inspection requirements, workmanship standards, configuration control expectations, nonconformance processes, and approved procedures.
• Coordinate with supply chain teams to communicate material shortages, suspect hardware, part replacement needs, supplier issues, and impacts to build, test, or flight-readiness schedules.

Job requirements
