About the Role:
The Air Force Test Center is looking for a Full-Time Electronic Integrated Systems Mechanic, WG-2610-13 to work at the 412 TW, 412 MXG, 412 MXS, Component Repair Flight (MXMA) at Edwards Air Force Base, CA.
The primary purpose of this position, Electronic Integrated Systems Mechanic, WG-2610-13, is to install, modify, overhaul, maintain, troubleshoot, repair, align, inspect calibrate, and rebuild single on and off aircraft avionics and electrical systems, modified systems and multisystem avionics complexes consisting of several complete integrated systems.
Announcement Closes: 10 Sep 2025
Location: Edwards, CA (Edwards Air Force Base)
Typical 2025 salary range: $105,748 – $123,362 per year/per hour (includes locality)
Travel Requirements: Up to 25% travel possible
Areas of Consideration
- Installation – wide (Edwards, AFB)
Desired Skills:
- Ability to communicate effectively with diverse groups of individuals, both orally and in writing, using tact and courtesy.
- Troubleshoot problem areas and inspect defective equipment.
- Perform corrective and preventative maintenance, repair, operational (functional), and final testing; of moderately complex electronic control systems, components, and/or subassemblies
Major Duties:
- Install, maintain, troubleshot, repair, and calibrate complete multi-systems such as electronics packages in highly automated aircraft, where target acquisition and tracking are performed by numerous systems that are extensively interconnected with data feedback loops.
- Practical knowledge of the theories and practices of electromagnetic propagation, electronic circuits, computer theory, hydraulic or pneumatic control and power systems, and many other areas covering a wide range of system applications to understand and predict the progressive effects of malfunctions throughout the systems.
- Knowledge of all major units of the complete multi-system, i.e., how they function independently, how they are interfaced in the integrated subsystems, and how the subsystems interact to achieve operating specifications.
- Broad knowledge of the interactions among several closely integrated complex systems.
- Knowledge of mathematics including algebra and trigonometry to calculate power relationships, signal phasing, etc.
- Ability to isolate malfunctions of complete multiple integrated systems consisting of closely interrelated fire control, bombing-navigation, flight control, countermeasures, or similar systems and to determine the methods of repair where extremely complex relationships exist among numerous interconnected units and control circuits not only within the individual control systems but between them as well, e.g., electronic, mechanical, and/or optical systems and units.
- Ability to interpret drawings for multi-system complexes such as the complete electronics package for an aircraft including numerous interconnections of signal paths both between and within individual subsystems of the multi- system complex.
- Ability to repair, overhaul, rebuild, align, and adjust complete multi-systems such as the electronics package in a highly automated aircraft where target acquisition and tracking, weapons control, aircraft attitude control, navigation, and other complex functions are performed by numerous systems which are extensively interconnected with data feedback loops.
- Knowledge of electrical theory, principles, and circuitry; knowledge of aircraft electrical systems and their interrelationships, and a working knowledge of electronics principles (e.g., knowledge of construction practices of electronic equipment to recognize types and sizes of resistors, capacitors, wiring, and transistors; to follow signal paths through printed circuit and wired circuitry, recognizing actual circuit configurations shown in schematics and diagrams; and of the electromagnetic basis of alternating current and inductive and capacitance reactance, series and parallel tuned circuits, impedance matching, and operation of transistors), to troubleshoot, modify, repair, overhaul, and maintain complex electrical systems onboard aircraft such as antiskid, automatic flight control, and fuel indicating systems. At this level,
Qualifications/Requirements:

- Emergency overtime may be required and to work other than normal duty hours “on call”
- You will be required to complete training, obtain, and maintain government credit card for travel and travel related purchases
- Required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Utilize safety practices and procedures following established safety rules and regulations and maintains a safe and clean work environment.
- Knowledge of technical practices in order to plan, layout, and complete maintenance or repair work as needed without more than normal supervision.
- Knowledge of electrical and electronic theory, instruments used in shop, and trade practices and electrical equipment located at Edwards AFB and of troubleshooting and locating defects.
