That includes testing circuits, troubleshooting power distribution, and validating high-voltage equipment and complex electronic systems.

Test electricians are the final checkpoint before a ship's electrical systems are considered ready, so the work directly supports the safety, reliability, and long-term performance of Navy vessels.

• Operate electrical test equipment and interpret the results, including voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, megohmmeters, and power analyzers.
• Test and validate 480V and 4160V power distribution equipment.
• Inspect, troubleshoot, and verify motor controls, transformers, power panels, switchboards, and PLC-based control systems.
• Support testing of electronic and fiber-optic systems, including radar, sonar, communications, propulsion, and navigation.
• Read marine blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical manuals to carry out accurate test procedures.
• Work safely in an active shipyard environment, including at heights, in confined spaces, and in variable conditions.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in the marine, shipyard, or industrial electrical field.
• Proven experience testing and troubleshooting shipboard or industrial electrical systems.
• Ability to read marine drawings, blueprints, schematics, and wiring diagrams using both metric and standard measurements.
• Working knowledge of electrical diagnostic equipment and safe testing practices.
• High school diploma or GED.

Preferred Requirements

• Hands-on experience with voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, megohmmeters, power analyzers, and other diagnostic equipment.
• Experience with 480V and 4160V electrical systems.
• Knowledge of motor controls, power panels, transformers, PLCs, and switchboards.
