RANGE POSITION DESCRIPTION

The applicant is expected to possess a foundational understanding of Telemetry systems with the ability to comprehend signal flow within a given system. Job responsibilities encompass Telemetry operations, data transport systems, and network systems with adherence to technical standards. This includes promptly addressing real-time mission anomalies and effectively troubleshooting emergent issues. Moreover, the candidate must demonstrate familiarity with local area networks and wide area networks, coupled with a knowledge of the transport and networking equipment integral to data transport.

Knowledge of structured cabling in support of data transmission equipment, such as fiber optics, twisted pair, and low loss RF cables with a knowledge of termination techniques is desired. It is necessary that the candidate understand how to operate mission support equipment such as RF spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, telemetry receivers, video distribution amplifiers, and video switches. While not required, a candidate with a developing understanding of Pan and Tilt antenna systems, RFoF, TMoIP, and expertise in installing and testing telemetry acquisition systems, GPS timing, and video solutions would be advantageous.

The candidate is expected to communicate effectively with the drafting department to create engineering drawings, and proficiency with drafting software such as Visio is desired. The candidate must be able to interpret and redline engineering drawings, as well as utilize schematics to install, alter, and repair equipment. The candidate will need to interface with engineering to make system proposals, evaluations, install, test and implement the use of new equipment. Perform quality assurance on telemetry systems as well as validation/verification of electronic systems. Produce operations, maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting procedures for existing or new telemetry systems.

The candidate must be able to work independently and as an integral part of a team, capable of making decisions under pressure. The candidate must be able to work overtime including weekends as well as varying shifts to accommodate mission support objectives. Routine preventative maintenance of all equipment, in accordance with established procedures and technical manuals, and other authoritative documentation is a fundamental responsibility. Furthermore, the candidate shall be responsible for generating local trouble tickets and maintenance tracking using Maximo to document all work performed per established procedures.

Effective and professional communication with customers, involving email correspondence, phone interactions, and face-to-face meetings, is imperative.

The applicant must obtain and maintain a Department of Defense (DoD) security clearance, extending up to and including the Secret level, with special access privileges.
