Overview SEACORP is seeking a well-qualified Engineering Technician I - VI. Primary Duties and Responsibilities Job Summary: SEACORP is seeking Engineering Technicians who will apply electrical theory and related knowledge to test and modify developmental or operational electrical machinery and electrical control equipment and circuitry in industrial or commercial plants and laboratories. Technicians generally work under the direction of engineering staff and have duties related to their technical discipline (electrical, electronics, or mechanical). Engineering Technician I Proficient at assembling or installing equipment or parts requiring simple wiring, soldering, or connecting and performing simple or routine tasks or tests such as tensile or hardness tests. Operates and adjusts simple test equipment; records test data. Gathers and maintains specified records of engineering data such as tests, drawings, etc. Performs computations by substituting numbers in specified formulas; plots the data and draws the simple curves and graphs for reporting analysis. Engineering Technician II Must be able to perform at level one duties or a combination of such typical technical duties within their respective classification. Follows specific instructions, assembles or constructs simple or standard equipment or parts; may service or repair simple instruments or equipment, conducting a variety of tests using established methods. Prepares test specimens, adjusts and operates equipment. Records test data, pointing out deviations resulting from equipment malfunction or observational errors or extracting engineering data from various prescribed but non-standardized sources. Process the data following well-defined methods including elementary algebra and geometry. Present the data in prescribed format for reporting analysis. Engineering Technician III Must be able to perform at level one and two duties or a combination of such typical technical duties within their respective classification. Receive initial instruction, equipment requirements, and advice from supervisor or engineer as needed. Performs recurring work independently; work is reviewed for technical adequacy or conformity with instructions. Constructing components, sub-units, or simple models or adapts standard equipment. May troubleshoot and correct malfunctions. Follows specific layout and scientific diagrams to construct and package simple devices and sub-units of equipment. Conduct various tests or experiments which may require minor modifications in test setups or procedures as well as subjective judgments in measurement. Select, sets up, and operates standard test equipment and records test data. Extracting and compiling a variety of engineering data from field notes, manuals, lab reports, etc. Processes data, identifying errors or inconsistencies; selects methods of data presentation. Also assists in design modification by compiling data related to design, specifications, and materials which are pertinent to specific items of equipment or component parts. Develop any analytical information concerning any previous operational failures and modifications already completed. Uses judgment and initiative to recognize inconsistencies or gaps in data and seeks sources to clarify information. Engineering Technician IV Handles assignments, which are typically parts of broader assignments, which are screened to eliminate unusual design problems but also plan such assignments. Receives technical advice from supervisor or engineer; work is reviewed for technical adequacy (or conformity with instructions). May be assisted by lower-level technicians and have frequent contact with professionals and others within the company. Develops or reviews designs by extracting and analyzing a variety of engineering data. Applies conventional engineering practices to develop, prepare, or recommend schematics, designs, specifications, electrical drawings and diagrams; hardware fittings or test equipment involving a variety of mechanisms; conventional piping systems; and building site layouts. Conducts tests or experiments requiring selection and adaptation or modification of a wide variety of critical test equipment and test procedures; sets up and operates equipment; records data, measures and records problems of significant complexity that sometimes require resolution at a higher level; and analyzes data and prepares test reports. Applies methods outlined by others to limited segments of research and development projects; constructs experimental or prototype models to meet engineering requirements; conducts tests or experiments and redesigns as necessary; and records and evaluates data and reports the findings. Engineering Technician V Selects and adapts plans, techniques, designs, or layouts. Contacts personnel in related activities to resolve problems and coordinate the work; reviews, analyzes, and integrates the technical work of others. Supervisory or professional engineer outlines objectives, requirements and design approaches; completed work is reviewed for technical adequacy and satisfaction of requirements. May train and be assisted by lower-level technicians. Designs, develops, and constructs major units, devices, or equipment; conducts tests or experiments; analyzes results and redesigns or modifies equipment to improve performance, and reports results. From general guidelines and specifications (e.g., size or weight requirements), develops designs for equipment without critical performance requirements which are difficult to satisfy such as engine parts, research instruments, or special purpose circuitry. Analyzes technical data to determine applicability to design problems; selects from several possible design layouts; calculates design data; and prepares layouts, detailed specifications, parts lists, estimates, procedures, etc. May check and analyze drawings or equipment to determine adequacy of drawings and design. Plan or assist in planning tests to evaluate equipment performance. Determine test requirements, equipment modification, and test procedures; conducts tests using all types of instruments, analyzes and evaluates tests results and prepares reports on findings and recommendations. Engineering Technician VI Serves as an expert in a narrow aspect of a particular field of engineering, (e.g., environmental factors that affects electronic engineering) Complexity of assignments typically requires considerable creativity and judgment to devise approaches to accomplish work, resolve design and operational problems, and make decisions in situations where standard engineering methods, procedures, and techniques may not be applicable. Supervisor or professional engineer provides advice on unusual or controversial problems or policy matters; completed work is reviewed for compliance with overall project objectives. May supervise or train and be assisted by lower-level technicians. Prepares designs and specifications for various complex equipment or systems (e.g., a heating system in an office building, or new electronic components such as solid-state devices for instrumentation equipment). Plans approach to solve design problems; conceives and recommends new design techniques; resolves design problems with contract personnel and assures compatibility of design with other parts of the system. Designs and coordinates test set ups and experiments to prove or disprove the feasibility of preliminary design; uses untried and untested measurement techniques; and improves the performance of the equipment. May advise equipment users or redesign to solve unique operational deficiencies. Plans approach and conducts various experiments to develop equipment or systems characterized by (a) difficult performance requirements because of conflicting attributes such as versatility, size, and ease of operation; or (b) unusual combination of techniques or components. Arranges for fabrication of pilot models and determines test procedures and design of special test equipment.
