THIS IS A NATIONAL GUARD TITLE 5 EXCEPTED SERVICE POSITION. This National Guard position is for a ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT INSPECTOR, Position Description Number PDT5792000 and is part of the MA ANG 102nd IW, National Guard. This is a Bargaining Unit position. The unit point of contact and contact phone for this position is: Todd Morey at 508-968-4017 (557-4017)

Duties

1. Performs inspections on the final tuning, alignment, calibration, trouble shooting, repair, test, maintenance, and certifications of a variety of standard and nonstandard TMDE and electronic test equpiment such as microwave equipment, radar and missile test consoles, high frequency sampling and storage oscilloscopes, distortion analyzers, recording oscillographs, and digital delay generators. Test equipment contains circuits and assemblies which perform multiple functions such as reception and stimulation, amplification and integration, digital and analog conversion, or a variety of simulation, multiplication, and division functions required to evaluate parameters of interest in major electronic, electrical, electromechanical or physical/dimensional systems used in industrial, ground, airborne, or laboratory applications. Equipment is usually combined and interrelated with other electronic equipment or composed of collectively assembled satellite components and assemblies to operate as a complete information-gathering unit. Other items inspected include engine analyzers, gas leak detectors, spectrographs, mass spectrometers, digital counters and temperature monitors. Performs inspections consisting of maintenance, calibration and certification of actions performed by PMEL personnel, and verification inspections of completed units selected by a multi-level continuous random sampling procedure. Ensures operational accuracy by performing intricate and complex lab oratory and on-site inspection s and certifications. Inspects that basic operating parameters such as resistance, capacitance, inductance, and time from measuring equipment in terms of instrument functions such as bandwidth, frequency response, gain, sensitivity, noise level, time delay, linearity, frequency, attenuation, power and standing wave ratio are within standards. Inspection of repairs are often complicated by critical tolerances or accuracies and common circuit elements that perform multiple functions, which require fabrication of replacement parts such as coils, cables, and probes, and adjustment and alignment of related circuits to insure the equipment is functioning properly. Applies instruction and procedures that are often vague and incomplete, requiring the inspector to develop and implement techniques for use on specific equipment. Ensures modification and fabrication on TMDE has been accomplished as specified by Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO). Certifies completed work. Provides training and/or technical assistance to lower and equal grade employees and certify their work. 2. Administers Quality Program for PMEL as defined in T.0. 00-20-14. Performs Process Reviews (PR), Quality Reviews (QR) and Standards Reviews (SR) as required in cited directives. Inspects all completed TMDE for TCTO compliance, physical condition, and all associated documentation for accuracy and legibility as required by cited directives. Familiar with random sampling techniques as defined in T.O. 00-20-14. Initiates and assists in root cause analysis of all non-conformities discovered during inspections. Analyzes data to identify and detect any significant problems and/or negative trends or conditions. Assists in determining and implementing corrective action plans for non-conformities and/or negative trends. Documents, reports, and maintains all records for reviews completed. Investigate s and resolves customer complaints. 3. Analyzes and isolates maintenance problems in common, complex, and unusual measurement equipment. Coordinates with item managers, design engineers, and manufacturers' representatives to resolve maintenance or calibration problems. Interprets maintenance policy and procedures from handbooks, technical orders, and maintenance directives and assists mechanics in analyzing and isolating defects in complex equipment, including computer controlled and unconventional specialized equipment. Investigates and prepares equipment deficiency referrals. Provides advice and technical assistance to supported organizations. Instructs on proper use and systems applications of test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment. May accomplish special studies to resolve specific complex technical problems presented by mechanics and supported organizations. 5. Uses and maintains tools and equipment. Uses trade tools such as wire strippers, drills. files, soldering irons, and micro soldering units to remove and replace parts. Uses various precision measurement standards and instruments such as generators, oscilloscopes, meters, and analyzers to perform inspections, functional testing, and calibration of TMDE. Perform other duties as assigned. Full position description not listed. For more details, please contact unit POC listed above.
