SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Must have experience in using the full complement of precision electronic reference standards and complex special test panels to isolate defects complicated by a variety of critical absolute or percentage tolerance values and relationships of factors such as:-
bandwidth;
- frequency response;
-gain;
- sensitivity;
- attenuation;
- noise level
- time delay;
- power;
- linearity;
- modulation;

In addition, must have experience in analyzing circuits and preparing or interpreting detailed diagrams and schematics to effectively troubleshoot, repair, maintain, and calibrate a variety of complex electronic precision measurement equipment and instruments; performing operational checkout, malfunction analysis, and preventative maintenance to ensure instruments and equipment serviced at this level are in optimal condition for accuracy and reliability of finished test results; improvising in the use of precision measurement equipment and the application of trade techniques to solve unusual problems related to factors such as: obsolete equipment; testing environment and location and density of circuitry.

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.
