MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT

Electronics Technician – Patriot Missile Launcher Power Systems

POSITION SUMMARY

The Electronics Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing the Electronic Power Plant (EPP), generator systems, power distribution assemblies, and all associated electronic controls that supply operational power to the Patriot missile launcher. This role requires advanced technical expertise in electrical and electronic systems, component-level diagnostics, power-generation support, and integrated launcher power architecture. The technician ensures optimal system readiness, electrical safety, and uninterrupted power delivery in tactical and deployed environments.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Diagnoses, troubleshoot, and repair AC/DC power circuits, voltage regulation systems, excitation circuits, contactor assemblies, protective relays, and generator control logic.

• Perform advanced testing and repairs on EPP control panels, annunciator systems, indicator boards, analog/digital meters, safety interlocks, and logic relay systems.

• Conduct generator synchronization operations, load-sharing calibration, phase balancing, and waveform stability analysis to maintain mission-critical power conditions.

• Execute preventive maintenance including insulation resistance tests (Megger), oscilloscope waveform analysis, slip-ring inspections, oil and coolant sampling, fuel system checks, and battery system maintenance.

• Analyze system faults across EPP-to-Launcher and EPP-to-ECS interface cables; verify continuity, grounding, shielding integrity, and load capacity.

• Interpret, apply, and troubleshoot using electrical schematics, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and Army Technical Manuals (ETMs/IETMs).

• Maintain and repair wiring harnesses, MIL-STD connectors, circuit breakers, relays, transformers, sensors, fuses, and solid-state control modules.

• Ensure proper grounding and bonding for all generator and launcher power subsystems; verify compliance with Army high-voltage safety standards.

• Perform firmware/software updates when applicable to modernized control modules.

• Document all maintenance activities, inspections, deficiencies, and component replacements in accordance with Army maintenance management systems.

• Provide technical assistance to launcher crews, ECS operators, and maintenance teams to ensure operational readiness and troubleshooting support.

• Enforce lockout/tagout procedures, electrical safety protocols, HAZMAT handling standards, and all applicable OSHA/Army regulations.

• Support operations in extreme environments, austere conditions, and during deployment rotations as mission requires.

QUALIFICATIONS

• High School Diploma or equivalent required; advanced training in Electronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, or Power Generation preferred.

• 7+ years of experience in electronic or generator maintenance, preferably within military systems (Patriot experience strongly preferred).

• Expert knowledge of AC/DC theory, power generation systems, voltage regulation, excitation circuits, and protective relay operation.

• Demonstrated proficiency in component-level troubleshooting, power quality analysis, and diagnostics using schematics and technical manuals.

• Experience maintaining tactical generator systems (EPP-III/EPP-IV or equivalent military-grade equipment).

• Ability to interpret electrical diagrams, wiring schematics, and troubleshooting flowcharts.

• Familiarity with Patriot missile system power architecture and support equipment is highly desirable.

• Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.

• Ability to work independently and in harsh or hazardous environmental conditions.

• Active U.S. Secret clearance; ability to deploy worldwide as required.

• Able to stand and sit for extended periods

• Able to lift 40 pounds

• Valid US drivers Licenses and passport required

• Must attend and pass all medical requirements as part of the CRC deployment center process
