• Identify recurring component failures, parts availability concerns, and potential supply chain issues that may affect repair operations.

C. Engineering and Configuration Management Support

• Provide technical input to configuration control documentation, as requested by system engineers, program managers (PMs), or other authorized personnel.
• Review engineering drawings, schematics, and technical documentation to identify discrepancies, recommend corrections, and support equipment configuration accuracy.
• Recommend revisions to engineering drawings and applicable field- or depot-level (Level 6) technical orders to improve technical accuracy, maintainability, and repair effectiveness.
• Provide technical recommendations regarding component and system changes affecting form, fit, and function.
• Support engineering evaluations and configuration management activities by providing findings derived from equipment troubleshooting, component testing, repair history, and operational assessments.
• Coordinate technical recommendations with the appropriate engineering, program management, and configuration control authorities.

D. Field and Depot-Level Technical Support

• Travel to designated operational or maintenance sites, when directed, to provide technical assistance, troubleshoot complex equipment issues, and perform depot-level repairs.
• Provide specialized electronics maintenance support for equipment that cannot be repaired through routine organizational or intermediate-level maintenance activities.
• Conduct on-site technical assessments, identify equipment deficiencies, and recommend corrective actions to restore operational capability.
• Coordinate with government personnel, system engineers, program managers, and other stakeholders to resolve technical issues and support equipment readiness.

E. Lifecycle Logistics and Sustainment Support

• Provide lifecycle logistics recommendations to CCSD based on technical expertise, equipment performance data, maintenance history, and applicable technical research.
• Evaluate component availability, repairability, reliability, and obsolescence risks to support sustainment planning and logistics decisions.
• Recommend spare parts requirements, replacement strategies, and mitigation measures for obsolete or difficult-to-procure electronic components.
• Identify opportunities to improve equipment maintainability, reduce recurring failures, and extend the service life of supported systems.
• Provide technical input to support long-term sustainment strategies, parts forecasting, and lifecycle support planning.

F. Workload and Performance Requirements

• Complete an estimated average of 20 equipment or component repairs per month, subject to equipment condition, repair complexity, parts availability, and workload requirements.
• Maintain accurate and complete maintenance records and technical documentation for all assigned repairs.
• Ensure completed repairs undergo appropriate functional testing and serviceability verification before equipment is returned to serviceable stock.
• Prioritize assigned work based on operational requirements, equipment readiness needs, and established maintenance priorities.
• Perform all duties in accordance with applicable safety requirements, quality assurance procedures, technical standards, and contractual requirements.

3. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Advanced knowledge of electronic equipment principles, troubleshooting methods, and component-level repair techniques.
• Thorough understanding of digital and analog electronic circuitry.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex electronic malfunctions and perform component-level repairs.
• Proficiency in using electronic test equipment, diagnostic instruments, and bench testing procedures.
• Ability to interpret electronic schematics, engineering drawings, technical orders, and equipment maintenance documentation.
• Knowledge of functional testing, operational assessments, serviceability determinations, and equipment condemnation procedures.
• Ability to manage electronic repair bench stock and identify component availability and obsolescence concerns.
• Strong technical documentation, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to provide actionable technical recommendations to engineering, program management, and lifecycle logistics personnel.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing maintenance priorities, and support field or depot-level repair requirements.
• Ability to travel to designated sites when required to support equipment maintenance and technical assistance activities.
• TS/SCI required
