Electro-Mechanical Tech

JT4, LLC provides engineering and technical support to multiple western test ranges for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and Navy under the Joint Range Technical Services Contract, better known as J-Tech II. JT4 develops and maintains realistic, integrated test and training environments and prepares our nation's war-fighting aircraft, weapons systems, and aircrews for today's missions and tomorrow's global challenges.

Working under the direct supervision of a group lead or higher-level technician, Electro-Mechanical Tech accepts assignments in the fabrication, testing, analysis, and adjustment of precision electromechanical equipment including analog, digital, incremental, and reduction; applies experience and knowledge of machinery operation, hand tools, housing fabrication, electrical assembly, and hardware; and specializes in complex prototype units.

Employee will be responsible for performing the following functions/duties:

• Maintain and operate various electronic equipment, test equipment, and fabrication machinery
• Make determination as to the limitations of equipment and implement modifications required to satisfy a specific situation
• Fabricate, test, modify, and repair prototype or existing components and subsystems
• Develop testing techniques to ensure proper calibration and operation of assigned equipment
• Participate in the development and testing of prototype electronic systems and subsystems
• Assist with the development of operational and test procedures
• Test units for functional operation of assembled components and record results in specific formats
• Maintain adequate supplies, spare parts, and test equipment to obtain maximum utilization of existing systems
• Keep abreast of the latest technical developments in the field of electro-mechanics and assist with implementation of new information
• Keep abreast of company engineering and technical practices, policies, techniques, and security and proprietary regulations
• Assist in the training of new personnel
• May provide work directions to one or more lower-level electro/mechanical technicians
• May analyze and repair electronic circuitry, printed circuit cards, and electronic control devices using conventional and digital millimeters, voltmeters, ohmmeters oscilloscopes, circuit card testers, and transistor testers
• Perform periodic and other inspections as required by applicable maintenance manuals or Air Force Technical Orders (TOs)
• Perform other job-related duties, as required.

Each employee must read, understand, and implement the general and specific operational, safety, quality, and environmental requirements of all plans, procedures, and policies pertaining to their job.

Employee will be required to do some shift work and occasional overnight assignments.

Work is performed in a field environment or shop environment in which mechanical equipment is loud and noisy, and some pieces of equipment have exposed, moving components. Duties may be performed both indoors and outdoors in varying temperatures. Outdoor duties may be performed on even or uneven surfaces, which may be dry or wet. Outdoor duties may be performed on gravel or shingled roof. Grease or oil may be found on working surfaces. Climbing stairs, ladders, towers, and scaffolds, and the ability to lift up to 50 lbs., (anything heavier requires two or more people or mechanical assistance) are required. A government vehicle is used on an as-needed basis.

JT4 employees will only operate equipment that they have been fully trained in and/or are certified to operate. If working in a training capacity, employees must be always supervised by a competent trained or certified company employee. Under no circumstances should employees use another employee's equipment without permission from their immediate supervisor or manager. Conversely, employees should not allow other JT4 employees or employees of another employer to use JT4 owned or assigned equipment without proof of training and approval of the shop manager.

Travel to remote company work locations will be required.

A graduate certificate from an accredited technical certification program, or equivalent, and completion of equivalent training as part of a formal apprenticeship program, or a combination of technical education and four years of experience in a mechanical/electrical position are required for this position.

In addition, an Electro/Mechanical Tech must possess the following qualifications:

• Working knowledge of the technical terminology or language structure related to specific electrical or mechanical equipment used by the work unit
• Good knowledge of electronics and mechanical fields
• Knowledge in the proper use of all hand tools
• Basic knowledge of robotics and remote controls
• Basic knowledge of diesel engines and mechanics (CDL desired)
• Personal computer and programming skills and knowledge of applications software and database usage
• Effective verbal and written communication skills
• Planning/organizational skills.

The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by personnel assigned to this classification. They are not intended to be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, and skills required of people so classified.
