Description:
THIS IS A NATIONAL GUARD TITLE 32 EXCEPTED SERVICE POSITION.
This National Guard position is for a AIRCRAFT ELECTRICIAN (Title 32), Position Description Number D1549P01 and is part of the OK 138th Fighter Wing, Oklahoma Air National Guard.
Requirements:
MILITARY GRADES : E-1 through E-5
GENERAL EXPERIENCE :
Experience or training which has provided a knowledge and skill in locating and tying in the electrical systems with the aircraft armament, electronics, and instrument systems; adjusting and calibrating the components of the various electrical systems; reading and interpreting blueprints, wiring diagrams and schematics.
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE :
Experience or training installing, maintaining, repairing and modifying electrical systems and major substation components of electrical system. Experience diagnosing malfunctions and determining remedy when complex relationships exists among different electrical system circuits requiring knowledge of all electrical units and systems. Experience making electrical repairs that require the use of precision measuring equipment and common hand tools. Experience in the setup and operation of computerized multiple circuit analyzing equipment in manual, semiautomatic, or automatic mode to run existing and new (not fully debugged) diagnostic programs to test and analyze aircraft electrical circuitry and interconnecting cabling of systems such as navigational computers, radar, and related equipment and to repair discrepancies.
Technological advances in the area of electronics, i.e., fly-by-wire aircraft have increased the skill and responsibility requirements of the Electro-Environmental mechanics working the F-15, F-16, F-22, F-35, A- 10, C-17, C-27J and C-130J aircraft. The Electro-Environmental mechanics must be able to understand the interaction of a number of complex, interrelated circuits such as timing circuits, pulse forming networks, etc., to determine the cause of the malfunction and the interaction of factors such as ambient temperature and the power and duration of the signal input, which together cause it to fail. Electro-Environmental mechanics install, modify, overhaul, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair complex electronics equipment.
In addition to the above:
Must have a comprehensive knowledge of the integration of electronically controlled electrical and environmental systems with the avionics systems of the applicable aircraft, and a general system knowledge of the hydraulic, fuel, Jet Fuel Starter (JFS), egress and engine control systems and requires the ability to use precision test equipment to accomplish this.
Must have an extensive knowledge of electrical and electronic theory, principles, formulas, advanced mathematics, fluid mechanics and dynamics.
Requires the ability to apply this knowledge to the specific requirements of the integrated system on their weapon system.
Requires the skill to interpret complex drawings, specifications, and schematics of complete systems to recognize the function and interconnections of the various assemblies and troubleshoot the system from the schematic, following signal paths through a complex path of interconnections of components, assemblies, subassemblies, and cable harnesses.
Requires knowledge of electronics, a variety of precision test equipment, self-test procedures and technical data containing schematic diagrams, test procedures, and program information, to identify and isolate malfunctions.
Maintains the ability to diagnose and determine needed repairs for malfunctions in electrically and electronically controlled systems such as the electrical/environmental systems, and digital anti-skid system, where knowledge of the entire system is necessary to interpret error data and trace back through a number of units of the system to locate the discrepancy.
