What You'll Be Doing - Maintenance and Innovation: Deliver daily maintenance, servicing, and repair for RPA ground control stations. Lead the charge in installing new hardware and software, and support exciting system initiatives.
- Precision and Documentation: Accurately document maintenance data, complete air crew debriefings, and keep meticulous records in compliance with Technical Orders using the IMDS system. Your attention to detail will ensure every discrepancy is tracked and addressed.
- Collaboration in Action: Work hand-in-hand with a diverse team of experts while also flexing your independent problem-solving skills on moderately complex projects.
Who We're Looking For - Educational and Technical Expertise: A Bachelor's Degree paired with up to 2 years of electronics experience (or relevant experience substituting a degree) that offers you a solid grounding in electronics maintenance and repair.
- Technical Savvy: Ability to read blueprints, wiring diagrams, and data tables, plus proficiency in Microsoft Office tools.
- Adaptability: A readiness to work on non-traditional schedules in our round-the-clock environment, and the physical capability to handle heavy items.
- Security Clearances: A current TOP SECRET SCI Security Clearance is required to be a vital part of this elite team.
Your Impact When you step into this role, you're not just maintaining equipment-you're playing a crucial part in protecting America and shaping the future of national security.
At Leidos, every challenge you overcome and every system you optimize brings you closer to making a lasting difference on a global scale.
If you're passionate about tech, driven by innovation, and ready for an adventure that transforms your career and secures our future, we want to hear from you.
