Advanced database design and automation using Microsoft Access and Visual Basic (forms, queries, scripting, integrations).
Training/certification in safety standards relevant to electrical engineering and manufacturing (e.g., NFPA 70E, OSHA 1910).
Experience preparing DER approval packages and supporting aviation MRO compliance.
Solid understanding of manufacturing tolerances, tolerance stack‑up, and impacts on product performance and test outcomes.
Broader programming experience (LabVIEW, Visual Basic, C) applied to test automation and data analysis.

Responsibilities:

Develop and execute maintenance, repair, and overhaul plans for electrical systems and equipment to ensure optimal performance.
Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical faults using diagnostic tools and software, including LabVIEW and Visual Basic applications.
Create and maintain detailed documentation of maintenance activities, system configurations, and repair procedures using Microsoft Office tools.
Collaborate with production, quality, and safety teams to identify electrical system improvements and implement corrective actions.
Analyze data from maintenance activities and system monitoring to recommend enhancements that reduce downtime and improve reliability.

Skills:

Software & tools: LabVIEW; Visual Basic/VBA; Microsoft Access; Microsoft Excel & Word; Orcad (or equivalent CAD such as Altium/KiCad); CMMS; instrumentation (DMMs, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, DAQ).
