Electronics engineer Jobs in Chesapeake, VA

Boarhog has an immediate need for an Electronics Technician (ET) - Maintenance, either Level II or Level III, ideally based out of either Norfolk or Richmond Virginia to cover federally contracted requirements in the Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia areas.

Specifically, this is a highly sought after position as an IAS/ATG/OPS/GVS ET who will be counted upon to work alone or in small teams, performing testing and maintenance functions on Automatic Tank Gauging Systems, Independent Alarm Systems, Overfill Protection Systems, and Ground Verification Systems at Department of War installations across the aforementioned states.

This ET will be responsible for the proper operation of fuels accounting, alarm monitoring and controls, and leak detection equipment by performing troubleshooting, fault isolation, repairing and installing electronic components and electrical systems, and maintaining organized, detailed records of work performed.

The Level II or Level III ET will be responsible for coordinating travel to work sites, maintaining on-hand components and assigned safety equipment, and acceptable communication with dispatchers, the installation teams, and Boarhog's Director of Modernization to ensure issues are appropriately elevated, the schedule is maintained, and delays are properly conveyed to the client.

The differentiation between the Level II (SCA 23182) and Level III (SCA 23183) is not necessarily tied to years of experience. Instead, the former is a competent tech, performing some complex troubleshooting, generally following established procedures and requiring some supervision or technical direction. Level III is a more senior tech who is an accomplished complex troubleshooter, comfortable developing solutions while exercising greater degree of technical judgement, and is expected to take responsibility for other techs or the overall technical outcome.
