• Support engineers on a variety of technical tasks related to system development, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation.
• Gather, compile, format, and maintain technical data, including laboratory results, material test results, engineering changes, technical findings, and test observations.
• Analyze technical data to determine applicability to design problems, system issues, equipment performance, or process improvements.
• Assist with preliminary analysis of technical data where guidelines, formulas, drawings, or established procedures are provided.
• Review and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, flow charts, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, cable run sheets, layouts, and technical specifications.
• Prepare or support the development of layouts, detailed specifications, procedures, parts lists, estimates, technical reports, and supporting engineering documentation.
• Document design changes, test results, troubleshooting actions, configuration updates, and technical recommendations.
• Produce engineering documentation, reports, drawings, flow charts, block diagrams, schematics, and other technical deliverables as required.
• Perform detailed mathematical calculations using established formulas and documented procedures.
• Support testing, inspection, troubleshooting, installation, integration, repair, and modification of technical systems and equipment.
• Use personal computers and common office/software tools to perform analysis, compile data, prepare reports, update trackers, and develop technical documentation.
• Maintain accurate records of test activities, technical data, equipment status, configuration changes, and documentation updates.
• Coordinate with engineers, technicians, program staff, and customer representatives to ensure technical work is completed accurately, safely, and on schedule.
• Support completion-based tasking in a DoD environment requiring attention to detail, strong communication, and reliable follow-through.

• Experience supporting engineering, laboratory, testing, technical documentation, or system integration activities.
• Ability to gather, maintain, format, compile, and analyze technical data.
• Experience reviewing or working from technical drawings, schematics, diagrams, specifications, procedures, or related engineering documentation.
• Ability to support engineers with testing, troubleshooting, evaluation, documentation, and technical problem-solving.
• Experience preparing or contributing to technical reports, procedures, layouts, parts lists, estimates, test documentation, or engineering records.
• Ability to perform basic technical analysis and calculations using established guidelines, formulas, or procedures.
• Strong computer skills, including the ability to use standard office tools to compile data, prepare documentation, and develop reports.
• Strong attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to work independently or as part of a technical team.
• Active DoD clearance required.

• Prior DoD, Navy, NAVAIR, NSA, or Intelligence Community support experience.
• Experience in an engineering laboratory, test environment, integration facility, shipboard environment, or fielded system support role.
• Experience with military electronics, weapons systems, communications systems, AV/VTC systems, low-voltage systems, cabling, soldering, fiber optics, or equipment integration.
• Experience supporting design reviews, test events, technical evaluations, configuration management, or engineering change documentation.
• Experience developing or updating flow charts, block diagrams, schematics, red-lined drawings, wiring diagrams, technical procedures, or test reports.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, technical trackers, data collection tools, or engineering documentation repositories.

The ideal candidate is a proactive Engineering Technician who can bridge hands-on technical execution with strong engineering documentation support. This person should be comfortable working in a lab, test, integration, or field environment while also being able to analyze technical data, document results, interpret drawings, update technical records, and communicate clearly with engineers, customers, and program stakeholders.
