Full Description

The Electronics Test & Assembly Team Lead guides a technical team in assembling, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing advanced aviation and radio electronics. This hands-on role combines daily technical work with team coordination to keep production running smoothly, safely, and on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

*** Team Leadership:** Assign daily work, train technicians, answer technical questions, and escalate production or material bottlenecks to leadership.

*** Assembly & Integration:** Build and inspect circuit boards, cables, harnesses, and electromechanical subassemblies using schematics, BOMs, and hand-soldering tools.

*** Testing & Troubleshooting:** Perform acceptance testing on digital, analog, and RF components; diagnose product failures down to the component level; execute repairs and re-tests.

*** Equipment & Quality:** Set up and maintain test tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes, analyzers); log build and test data; support root-cause analysis and process improvements.

Requirements

* Work Authorization & Physical Demands

*** U.S. Citizenship:** Required; must be able to pass a U.S. government background investigation.

*** Shift Flexibility:** Ability and willingness to work assigned shifts, alternate schedules, overtime, or extended hours based on production demands.

*** Physical Ability:** Must be able to lift and move equipment up to 50 lbs, stand/walk for extended periods, and maintain manual dexterity for small components and tools.

*** Technical Experience:** High School Diploma or GED; 5+ years in electronics assembly, testing, and component-level troubleshooting in a manufacturing environment.

*** Core Skills:** Ability to read schematics and engineering drawings; solid grasp of RF, digital, and analog principles; proficiency with test equipment and precision soldering.

*** Preferred:** Prior experience in a Lead role, background in aerospace/defense/avionics manufacturing, IPC certification (IPC-A-610 / IPC-7711/7721), or an Associate degree in Electronics.
