About the role
Directly supervise professional and skilled engineering technicians supporting avionics system testing, integration, debugging, production support, maintenance support, and flight support activities.
Execute team assignments based on defined objectives, approved processes, engineering direction, production priorities, and program schedules.
Read, interpret, and apply harness schematics, PCBA schematics, wiring diagrams, interface control documents, engineering drawings, test procedures, work instructions, and production documentation.
Support avionics integration and test activities from bench-level checkout through subsystem, aircraft, production, maintenance, and flight-support environments.
Work closely with engineers to support hardware bring-up, design verification, test execution, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and design or process improvements.
Partner with production teams to resolve build issues, installation problems, test failures, rework needs, hardware readiness concerns, and schedule constraints.
Collaborate with quality teams to ensure work complies with inspection requirements, workmanship standards, configuration control expectations, nonconformance processes, and approved procedures.
Coordinate with supply chain teams to communicate material shortages, suspect hardware, part replacement needs, supplier issues, and impacts to build, test, or flight-readiness schedules.
Support maintenance technicians and flight support team members during aircraft checkout, avionics troubleshooting, system modification, ground test, and flight readiness activities.
Administer company policies and procedures directly affecting employees, including expectations related to safety, quality, attendance, work assignments, training, performance, compliance, and conduct.
Interpret policies, procedures, and work instructions to determine appropriate action when resolving routine employee, operational, quality, or technical execution issues.
Analyze data and relevant factors, including test results, failure trends, technician workload, schedule performance, hardware status, quality findings, material availability, and operational risks.
Develop, manage, and adjust routine operational plans to support daily priorities, weekly execution, production needs, integration milestones, maintenance activities, flight support, and monthly targets.
Use and oversee use of electrical and avionics test equipment, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, breakout boxes, bus analyzers, automated test equipment, and related lab or production tools.
Drive continuous improvement in technician training, troubleshooting methods, test procedures, documentation quality, tooling, workflow, and operational execution.
