JOB ELEMENTS: Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas: I. Knowledge of electronic theories and practices of one or more complex integrated systems such as fire control, inertial navigation, radio. RADAR, or automatic landing control systems. Knowledge of integrated electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, optical, and mechanical systems. Knowledge of such applications as radar, digital or analog computers, digital display devices, and of the technology and practices which integrate these components into a total functional system. Knowledge of mathematics including algebra and basic trigonometric functions. Knowledge of safety regulations, practices, and procedures. 2. Skill in troubleshooting. installing, repairing. and maintaining electronic integrated systems where circuit theory must be used to understand the operation of a large number of circuits and functions, and the interaction of subsystems which create malfunctions. Skill in interpreting complex drawings, specifications, and schematics of complete integrated systems to recognize the function and interconnections of components, assemblies, subassemblies, connecting cable harnesses, etc. 3. Skill in the set up and operation of computer controlled automated test equipment (ATE) and test stands, oscilloscopes (dual trace, storage, digitized), spectrum, network and distortion analyzers, frequency counters, and signal generators. Skill in the use of a variety of hand tools such as screwdrivers, drills, wrenches, soldering irons, and microsoldering units. 4. Ability to repair, align, and adjust major integrated electronic systems such as inertial navigation systems. automatic flight control. radio and RADAR systems. Ability to follow drawings for integrated electronic systems. 5. Ability to trace the effect of a change in one subsystem to other integrated subsystems and determine which controls and devices must be changed or adjusted to compensate. 6. Ability to use computer terminals to maintain records and document actions. Physical Effort Light to heavy physical exertion is required in lifting and carrying items weighing from I0 to 50 pounds, and occasional objects weighing in excess of 50 pounds with the help of weight handling equipment or with assistance from other workers.
