QualificationsGENERAL EXPERIENCE: Must have experience or training which demonstrates a working knowledge of electronic principles involved in the generation and measurement of such elements as voltage, current, impedance, capacitance, frequency, and inductance. Experience in the use of various precision measurement instruments and standards. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Must have experience or training equivalent to the next lower level, of basic application of operating principles such as the production and utilization of oscillations over a broad range of frequencies; signal and waveform behavior, distortion, and amplification; pulse, trigger, and synchronization techniques; digital/analog processing and data conversion techniques; and a variety of display and indication methods. Experience in tracing signals and voltage paths, and skilled in the analysis of waveform characteristics such as timing, duration, frequency, and phasing. Originates test set-ups to isolate malfunctions and check performance characteristics of special or unique test panels or mockups. Experience in interpreting and applying a variety of technical electronic information such as schematic symbols, mathematical expressions and formulas, calibration procedures, and other reference materials. Experience in applying established techniques and methods of repair, testing, alignment, and calibration of equipment, which serves as test equipment or precision measurement standards. Experience in utilizing electronic circuits to measure electronic or electrical quantities to determine the performance characteristics and accuracy of other instruments and equipment? Physical Effort: The work assignments require light to moderate physical effort. The mechanics frequently lift, carry, or otherwise handle items weighing up to 50 pounds (23 kilograms) independently, and occasionally in excess of 50 pounds with the help of weight handling equipment or with assistance from other workers. They work in a sitting position for extended periods of time, and frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, and stooping is required. Working Conditions: The mechanics normally work in clean, well-lighted, heated, and ventilated areas, but may work at remote user locations under variable conditions. They are exposed to the possibility of electric shock, burns from electrical or radio frequency energy or hot solder, and cuts and bruises. Workers may be required to wear appropriate safety gear such as protective eyewear, and/or work within clean room environments where special garments including head coverings, shoe coverings, and gloves are required. - This is an OPEN CONTINUOUS ANNOUNCEMENT and will remain open until filled.
