Basic Qualifications :
Associate’s degree in related discipline or equivalent is required plus a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience.

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS:

Department of Defense Secret security clearance is obtainable within a reasonable amount of time after hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.
Responsibilities for this Position:
The Transmit Group (TG) is a critical subsystem within the U.S. Navy’s sonar suite, responsible for generating and transmitting high-power acoustic signals for active sonar operations. This system enables surface ships and submarines to conduct active detection, ranging, and classification of contacts in support of navigation, anti-submarine warfare, mine avoidance, and under-ice operations. The TG integrates advanced power amplification, waveform control, and signal timing technologies to produce precise, mission-specific acoustic pulses. These pulses are transmitted through a dedicated projector array and synchronized with receive operations to ensure accurate target detection and tracking. The TG also supports auxiliary functions such as underwater communications (UQC), ice depth measurement, and special-purpose acoustic transmissions.

Key capabilities of the TG system include:

• Generation of high-power, frequency-specific acoustic transmissions.
• Control of pulse shaping, duration, and timing to meet mission parameters.
• Integration with sonar processing systems for coordinated transmit/receive cycles.
• Built-in diagnostics, system monitoring, and fault isolation to ensure operational readiness.
• Compliance with Navy safety, reliability, and environmental standards.

Personnel working on the TG system will be responsible for system operation, preventive and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting at the component and rack level, and supporting test and evaluation procedures. This role requires familiarity with high-power electronics, acoustic systems, and shipboard integration practices, as well as adherence to technical documentation and quality assurance requirements. Working with Engineering, Operations Support and individuals in other departments, the Advanced Engineering Technician will support engineering activities such as design, test, check-out, modification, fabrication and assembly of prototype electro mechanical systems, experimental design circuitry, laser/light transmission devices or specialized test equipment. This may entail performing the following:

• Interprets basic engineering drawings, diagrams and schematics
• Constructs, modifies, debugs, troubleshoots, calibrates, tests and adjusts a variety of tools, equipment and systems
• Conducts, analyzes and documents statistically based experiments to define process parameters
• Implements and documents complex solutions for process improvement
• Designs and constructs basic tooling and fixtures to accomplish unique tasks
• Organizes, analyzes and interprets data to identify cause/effect relationships and recommends resolution/process improvement
