Essential Responsibilities

• Interpret and follow Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs), engineering drawings, blueprints, electrical schematics, specifications, service bulletins, and approved technical data.
• Perform disassembly, cleaning, inspection, repair, assembly, overhaul, and testing of aircraft accessories and subassemblies.
• Utilize hand tools, precision measuring instruments, ESD equipment, and test equipment to ensure compliance with engineering and regulatory requirements.
• Perform electronic assembly and repair tasks including soldering, adhesive bonding, wire preparation, wrapping, and packaging.

• Support additional operational requirements, including teardown inspections, conformity inspections, product validation activities, and specialized testing as business needs require.

These Essential Responsibilities are the primary functions of the position; however, since ITT's product line is installed on such a vast number of aircraft across multiple applications, Technicians must have the ability and desire to apply their skills whenever and in whatever capacity a new market opportunity requires. This might include such tasks as conformity teardown inspections, product specific verification testing, production, and accessory testing.
