Job Description

PDS Defense, Inc. is seeking a Field Technician 3, in Buffalo, NY. Job ID#218481

Pay Rate: $50 - $55/hr

Job Description:

Seeking a highly skilled Field Technician to support our Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) Electronic Warfare product line at multiple United States Air Force bases across the Continental United States (CONUS). This position offers a unique opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge electronic warfare systems, performing critical field upgrades and maintenance at customer sites.

Position Overview:
As a Field Technician, you will be responsible for installing, operating, maintaining, repairing, and modifying JTE equipment and associated subsystems. Your expertise will ensure optimal performance of integrated radar, electronic warfare, and digital RF systems. Key duties include troubleshooting, executing engineering change installations, conducting system upgrades, and providing technical support on-site to meet mission requirements.

While the primary home base for this position is Buffalo, NY, we offer flexibility for candidates to negotiate an alternative home base location. Field Service Representatives based in Buffalo may be assigned local site support or other tasks during periods without travel assignments. Those based outside Buffalo will not have remote assignments during downtime and will remain at their personal residence until deployed to customer sites. Travel to customer locations across the United States will be coordinated to allow the FSR to travel directly between sites or from their home base as appropriate.

Key Responsibilities:
Deploy to multiple USAF installations across both the CONUS and OCONUS to upgrade and maintain JTE systems.
Analyze system performance, diagnose faults, and implement corrective actions promptly.
Conduct installation of engineering modifications and system enhancements in coordination with engineering teams.
Operate and maintain a range of electronic and RF test equipment including multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power meters.
Maintain clear documentation and provide timely status updates to stakeholders.

Minimum Qualifications:
Minimum of 4 years of relevant field technician experience, or an Associate's degree in a technical discipline plus 2 years of related experience.
Demonstrated mechanical aptitude, including extensive use of hand and power tools.
Proficient in testing, troubleshooting, and repairing radar, electronic warfare, or commercial RF/digital equipment.
Must be able to travel domestically and internationally up to 100% of the time.
Physically capable of lifting and positioning equipment up to 50 lbs.
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance (Interim clearance acceptable to start).

Preferred Qualifications:
Associate's or higher technical degree with 4+ years of customer-facing field support experience.
Prior experience with JTE or CEESIM systems.
Training from U.S. military electronic warfare or RF schools preferred.
Strong background in radar, EW systems, and RF electronics diagnostics.

Benefits offered to vary by the contract. Depending on your temporary assignment, benefits may include direct deposit, free career counseling services, 401(k), select paid holidays, short-term disability insurance, skills training, employee referral bonus, affordable medical coverage plan, and DailyPay (in some locations). For a full description of benefits available to you, be sure to talk with your recruiter.
