•Experience maintaining accountable assets, serialized hardware, inventory, tools, calibration, spares, shipping and receiving, maintenance history, or configuration records
•Strong planning and organizational skills with demonstrated ability to own shared lab operations and coordinate schedules, equipment availability, maintenance activities, priorities, and dependencies across multiple teams or programs
•Ability to read and work from wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, mechanical and installation drawings, rack layouts, bills of material, work instructions, and technical manuals
•Competence with wiring, cable and connector work, fabrication, hand tools, digital multimeters, continuity testing, rack integration, and safe electro-mechanical troubleshooting
•Comfort working with Windows- and Linux-based computers, installing and configuring software, collecting logs, documenting technical work, and communicating clearly with software and hardware engineers
•Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance

Preferred

•A degree in engineering technology; an associate degree in electronics technology, information technology, avionics, or a related technical discipline; equivalent military or vocational training; or relevant demonstrated experience
•Experience supporting HIL, SIL, VIL, avionics, flight-system, robotics, or systems-integration laboratories
•Familiarity with Python, Bash, PowerShell, or another scripting language for asset records, health checks, configuration, data collection, reporting, or routine lab workflows
•Experience supporting software-development or continuous-integration teams, including environment provisioning, software deployment, source control, build systems, automated testing, or test orchestration
•Experience with aircraft systems, autonomy software, embedded computing, real-time simulation, sensors, communications equipment, or uncrewed vehicle integration
•Familiarity with Ethernet networking, managed switches, IP addressing, serial communications, CAN, time synchronization, remote access, and basic network troubleshooting
•Experience with CAD viewers or tools used to review or update electrical drawings, mechanical drawings, rack layouts, cable drawings, or lab floor plans
