Key Areas of Responsibility

• Troubleshoot, test, and repair electronic equipment to the component level using layout and schematic diagrams, in accordance with FAA regulations, the company Inspection Procedures Manual (IPM), and ISO procedures.
• Modify equipment in accordance with service bulletins and manufacturer documentation, following prescribed procedures and established schedules to meet quality and production objectives.
• Perform repairs independently or collaboratively with experienced electronics technicians, with work reviewed by Technician IV personnel, supervisors, and inspectors.
• Review work orders to verify completion of customer-requested activities before repair release; prepare estimates and complete production, quality, and maintenance documentation in accordance with quality assurance requirements.
• Communicate with cross-functional departments to support the repair process and complete alternative assignments as directed through detailed written or verbal instructions.
• Participate in specialized test instrument training, advanced troubleshooting instruction, and technician cross-training programs, supporting short- or long-term assignments with other teams as needed.
