Aerospace Test Technician

We are seeking a high-precision Aerospace Test Technician to join our production team. In this role, you won't just be "checking boxes" you will be responsible for the final validation of complex power electronics that fuel the next generation of military and defense.

The ideal candidate is a "bench wizard" who thrives on troubleshooting complex circuits and understands the unique safety requirements of working with high-voltage power supplies. If you have a passion for seeing your work reach the stars and the technical chops to back it up, we want you on the floor.

What You’ll Do

• Execute Complex Tests: Lead the setup and execution of functional, environmental, and life-cycle testing on aerospace-grade power supplies and distribution units.

• Precision Troubleshooting: Perform component-level diagnostics to identify root causes of failures. You will be expected to navigate schematics to find the "needle in the haystack" on populated PCBs.

• Master the Equipment: Be the subject matter expert on the lab floor for oscilloscopes, signal generators, logic analyzers, and high-voltage loads.

• Data Integrity: Monitor and record critical telemetry via DAQ systems, ensuring all data is captured with 100% accuracy for flight readiness reviews.

• Safety Leadership: Manage high-voltage safety protocols, including grounding strategies and isolation procedures, to ensure a zero-incident environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 3+ years in aerospace, defense, or a high-reliability electronics manufacturing environment.

• Power Expertise: Proven track record working with high-voltage systems and power conversion hardware (AC/DC, DC/DC).

• Technical Literacy: Ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics, assembly drawings, and wire harness diagrams.

• Tool Proficiency: Expert-level experience with digital oscilloscopes (triggering, math functions) and thermal/vibration test equipment.

• Mindset: A "quality-first" mentality with the patience to document every deviation and the curiosity to solve it.

Why Join Us?

• Work on hardware that is currently orbiting the Earth or heading to deep space.

• Competitive salary with [Insert Bonus/Benefits info].

• A collaborative environment where technicians and engineers work side-by-side.

salary: $62,400 - $80,000 per year
shift: First
work hours: 7 AM - 3:30 PM
education: High School

Responsibilities

• System Integration & Setup: Configure complex test benches for aerospace power supplies and distribution units, ensuring all grounding and safety protocols for high-voltage (HV) systems are strictly followed.

• Component-Level Troubleshooting: Diagnose failures down to the board level using schematics. This includes identifying faulty capacitors, MOSFETs, and transformers within high-density power modules.

• Precision Measurement: Utilize oscilloscopes to capture transient responses, ripple voltage, and timing signals. Perform precise measurements with DMMs, power analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.

• Environmental Stress Screening (ESS): Execute thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, and EMI/EMC testing to validate hardware performance under simulated flight conditions.

• Data Acquisition: Set up and monitor DAQ systems to record real-time telemetry. Analyze data sets to ensure they meet strict NASA, FAA, or military specifications.

• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain meticulous test logs and write formal Discrepancy Reports (DRs) when hardware deviates from expected performance curves.

• Safety & Compliance: Act as a "Safety Observer" during high-energy testing, managing lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures to protect personnel and flight-critical assets.
