Engineering Technician

Engineering Technician

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact on national security? You understand how a sensor performs in the field is just as important as how it performs on the bench, and you know how to keep a fielded detection capability safe, accurate, and mission-ready over its full lifecycle. Your ability to troubleshoot a system, lead a calibration effort, and translate operational feedback into an engineering change makes you the person a program turns to when warfighter safety is on the line.

As the In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for Energetic Fuel Detection Systems supporting the U.S. Navy, you will own the lifecycle technical sustainment of specialized sensors used to detect, monitor, and analyze energetic fuels, propellants, and volatile explosive compounds across naval and joint platforms. You will use and interpret spectrometry and photoionization techniques to detect airborne volatile compounds, keeping these sensors alive and well within the field through hands-on troubleshooting, calibration, and repair. You will draft and update technical manuals, SOPs, maintenance guidelines, and engineering change proposals, and you will conduct testing, calibration, and validation of detection systems using inert and synthetic energetic simulants, ensuring every fielded system meets Department of War (DoW) and NAVSEA explosives safety standards. Grow your skills by merging deep sensor and spectral analysis expertise with real-world energetics safety practice to keep a critical detection capability ready for the fleet.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience as a technician supporting fielded detection, sensor, or instrumentation systems, including calibration, troubleshooting, repair, and lifecycle sustainment
• Experience performing ISEA, ILS, or PHS & T functions for a DoW fielded system
• Experience with data acquisition software for sensor calibration and field diagnostics
• Experience drafting or reviewing technical manuals, standard operating procedures, maintenance requirement cards (MRCs), or engineering change proposals (ECPs)
• Experience conducting or supporting fleet or unit-level training on fielded detection equipment
• Knowledge of explosives safety standards, including DoW and NAVSEA explosives safety requirements
• Ability to use and interpret spectrometry and photoionization techniques to detect airborne volatile compounds, and keep these types of sensors alive and well within the field
• Secret clearance
• HS diploma or GED

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with the RAID M-100 Otto Fuel Detector or comparable energetic fuel detection systems
• Experience supporting PMS 404, PMS 392, or similar Navy program offices on fleet or FMS acquisition
• Experience with ordnance handling, magazine custodian duties, or AA & E accountability
• Experience working within Navy energetics commands
• Experience in propellant or explosive plant operations, including mixing, pressing, or energetic material handling
• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related technical field
