This position will fabricate test equipment that will be used in the development and manufacture of tactical hardware.
The position will be responsible for reading, interpreting, and occasionally correcting engineering drawings/schematics.
The test equipment fabricated can include test sets, test boxes, cables, and other assemblies or subassemblies.
The candidate will be expected to place and solder components on circuit cards and subassemblies.
The fabrication of wiring harnesses will require connector pinning and depinning, and applying mounting hardware.
In addition, these lower level assemblies are to be built-up into single, or multi-bay cabinet assemblies, for the delivery to Engineering or Manufacturing Production areas.
This position will provide the opportunity for the candidate to work as an individual contributor, in a team environment.
This would include collaborating with Engineers, and other members of the Fabrication team including other Fabricators, Draftsmen, Procurement, and Quality Inspectors.
Daily activity would include not only a fast-paced fabrication environment, but it would also include using several computer based programs that will update job status, Quality Inspections, and Engineering changes.
This position is expected to operate under moderate supervision.

This position is a minimum of 40 hours per week commitment with occasional overtime required.
