Integration & Test Technician
$62,400–$99,840 year
On-siteEl Segundo, California, United States
Job Summary
Move and stage heavy radar chassis (200+ lbs) into test configurations using mechanical assistance. Power up systems, connect all network and signal interfaces, and verify external peripherals like Starlink and 5G modems function correctly. Operate the radar UI to read health status, identify failures, and determine pass/fail against procedures without coding. Log defects in the production system, coordinate with engineering for part replacements, and maintain accurate records of serial numbers and configurations. Keep the test line moving by flagging blockers early and ensuring a clean, ESD-safe workspace. This hands-on role supports CHAOS Industries' defense radar testing operations, enabling faster qualification of systems for warfighters and commercial operators.
Required Qualifications
- Associate degree in electronics/electrical technology, or equivalent military electronics/avionics training, trade school, or hands-on work experience
- 2+ years in an electronics manufacturing, test, integration, or equipment-maintenance environment (military/field maintenance experience counts)
- Hands-on comfort assembling, connecting, and disassembling hardware using common hand tools
- Comfortable connecting and troubleshooting electrical and signal interfaces (cables, connectors, network, power) and reading basic diagrams/procedures
- Comfortable operating software/computer interfaces to run tests and read status (you'll learn ours; you don't need to write code)
- Diligent documentation habits — accurate logging of serial numbers, configurations, test results, and defects
- Clear communicator — able to coordinate with production and engineering to move parts and resolve blockers
- Able to safely lift/move heavy equipment with mechanical assistance, and to stand and work with hardware for extended periods
- Detail-oriented, methodical, and reliable about following procedures exactly
- Active security clearance
Desired Qualifications
- Experience in a regulated/defense/aerospace hardware environment
- Familiarity with RF systems, antennas, networking, or power systems at a hands-on level
- IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001, or ETA CET certification (or willingness to earn)
- Experience with defect-tracking / MES / production systems (e.g., serialized unit tracking)
- ESD-controlled environment experience
- Comfort with Linux or command-line tools (we use them, but we'll train)
