Electronics Technician II 

This is highly skilled work in the maintenance and repair of complex electronic systems or developmental work in the modification, design and installation of electronic devices and systems. Positions design and construct specialized one-of-a-kind electronic devices. Design work is differentiated from that of the Electronics Technician I level by less reliance on standard circuitry and modification to it, and more reliance on the utilization and modification of standard circuitry to perform special, new or unusual functions. Positions in this class may consult with faculty members desiring the construction of electronic teaching or research devices to determine project parameters. Maintenance and repair are performed on devices designed and on electronic systems where troubleshooting difficulties are compounded by individual, complex devices which are interconnected. Documentation in the form of schematic diagrams, wring diagrams, or repair manuals is often fragmented or non-existent. Work is evaluated through the effectiveness of projects designed and constructed, and analysis of equipment reliability.  

Electronics Technician III 

This is supervisory and or specialized work in the repair and maintenance of highly complex electronics systems, and the design and modification of complex electronic devices which interface with systems. Some roles may specialize in the installation, maintenance, and operation of radio equipment in a statewide communications system.  Positions directly supervise journeyman level technicians in resolving moderate to highly complex tasks.  Work involves project management, workload distribution, and associated supervisory responsibilities to ensure work is completed timely and accurately.  Positions also perform calibration, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of the most complex or novel electronics systems and devices.  Electronics device work usually involves the design and testing of prototypes that perform novel and innovative functions.  Unique circuit design is common at this level.  Positions have ultimate responsibility for ensuring systems and devices are functioning properly on a statewide or large regional level.  Errors in project management could result in inoperable systems that negatively impact agency operations or create significant public safety concerns.
