Summary

The Electronic Technician III with Tower Technician qualifications applies advanced technical knowledge to problem solve mid-level to complex system related problems while maintaining industry best practices. Examples of such problems include determining the location, density of circuitry, evaluating electromagnetic radiation (EMI/RF noise, isolating malfunctions, shorts, opens, grounding, diode testing and end-of-line supervision. Typically work requires an understanding of the various types of circuits with the ability to exercise independent judgment in performing such tasks, as making circuit analyses, calculating voltage drops, standby calculations, noise wave forms, and tracing relationships in signal flow, using complex test instruments such as high wave form generators, frequency synthesizers, distortion analyzers, and complex computer control equipment. Work may be reviewed by supervisor for general compliance with accepted practices and may be reviewed for compliance against the quality control installation and servicing plan. The Electronics Security Technician III will provide leadership and technical guidance to lower level technicians.
