Qualifications

In your resume you will need to address the general and specialized experience listed below. Please use as much detail as needed, giving dates (months and years) of the experience, position title and how the experience was gained. This information is needed to determine if you are qualified for the position. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Experience or training with basic application of operating principles such as the production and utilization of oscillations over a broad range of frequencies; signal and waveform behavior, distortion, and amplification; pulse, trigger, and synchronization techniques; digital/analog processing and data conversion techniques; and a variety of display and indication methods. Experience in tracing signals and voltage paths, and skilled in the analysis of waveform characteristics such as timing, duration, frequency, and phasing. Originates test set-ups to isolate malfunctions and check performance characteristics of special or unique test panels or mockups. Experience in interpreting and applying a variety of technical electronic information such as schematic symbols, mathematical expressions and formulas, calibration procedures, and other reference materials. Experience in applying established techniques and methods of repair, testing, alignment, and calibration of equipment, which serves as test equipment or precision measurement standards. Experience in utilizing electronic circuits to measure electronic or electrical quantities to determine the performance characteristics and accuracy of other instruments and equipment. At this level, the work involves the maintenance and repair of unusually complex precision measurement equipment, instruments, and instrumentation systems with a minimum of available instructions. The servicing of equipment at this level is complicated by frequent engineering changes such as in design, construction, operating specifications, and special servicing procedures. The items serviced at this level are more difficult to repair and maintain than those described at the grade 11 level, because they are usually custom-built, unconventional, or one-of-a-kind devices used in support of research, experimental, or testing activities. Grade 12 mechanics analyze and isolate component malfunctions in equipment similar to that described at the grade 11 level. In addition, the grade 12 mechanics perform design changes and major modifications to standard and unconventional precision measurement equipment to improve the range or provide new capabilities to identify phenomena or parameters of interest in industrial, marine, airborne, ground support, or research and development test equipment applications. Grade 12 mechanics select, modify, set-up, calibrate, install, and operate a variety of precision measurement equipment including special test stations and mockups in support of laboratory tests or prototype and first-article acceptance and calibration tests. They work with specifications and procedures which are often vague and incomplete as a result of the unique equipment applications at this level. Grade 12 mechanics must apply advanced trade knowledge to improvise trade techniques for maintenance and repairs. The items serviced at this level are more complex than those described at the grade 11 level because, in addition to simulating, measuring, and processing electronic quantities and values, they are designed or modified to measure additional values such as infrared radiation, temperature, gas, vacuum, and other parameters of interest in laboratory test applications. Grade 12 mechanics apply greater judgment and higher level skills and knowledge than grade 11 mechanics. For example, while working from a broad outline of a test objective, they determine or recommend the proper methods to record the performance characteristics of the device, and select and modify the required precision measurement instruments. Typical of the scope of modifications performed at this level are the addition of new circuits, controls, wiring, or units with very critical tolerances or operating characteristics. The mechanics assist in the developmental testing of equipment such as avionics test equipment, missile launching systems, radar, communication, fiber optic, countermeasures, and other systems and devices. They monitor or operate the precision measurement instruments, analyze malfunctions which occur during the tests, and perform necessary corrective actions. The mechanics coordinate their efforts with technical or professional personnel on matters affecting equipment performance and test objectives.
