Primary Function

The Electronics Technician Maintenance I apply basic technical knowledge to solve problems that typically can be solved solely by referencing manufacturers&39; manuals or similar documents with the guidance of Electronics Technician Maintenance II. Examples of such problems include determining the location and density of circuitry, evaluating electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, and incorporating changes. Work typically requires a basic understanding of the interrelationships of circuits, exercising good judgment in performing such tasks as making circuit analyses, calculating wave forms, and tracing relationships in signal flow, using complex test instruments such as high frequency pulse generators, frequency synthesizers, distortion analyzers, and complex computer control equipment. Work will be reviewed by supervisor for general compliance with accepted practices. This position shall provide support to the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC) at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB), Alaska to include maintenance, operational, engineering support, operational support for RED FLAG Alaska (RFA) exercises and daily training requirements.
