Decision Technologies seeks a qualified BPS Radar Electronics / 2M Repair Technician to join our team in Virginia Beach, VA.   

Position Description:

The candidate will perform technical support in the troubleshooting, repair, modification, and testing of submarine radar systems, with primary emphasis on AN/BPS-15 and AN/BPS-16. The position supports system-level and component-level repairs on a variety of electronic systems and components, including circuit card assemblies, cable assemblies, and electronic modules from shipboard, airborne, and ground-based platforms. While current support includes systems such as the AN/BPS-15, AN/BPS-16, AN/SPS-48, AN/SPS-67, AN/SPS-73, AN/SPS-80, and BridgeMaster-E (BME), candidates with experience in other radar, avionics, or military/industrial electronic systems are encouraged to apply. While experience in Miniature/Microminiature (2M) repair is a valuable secondary skill set, this role is radar-centric and intended for technicians with hands-on experience maintaining, troubleshooting, and validating radar systems. Work will be performed primarily in a lab environment, with occasional assignments onboard ships, submarines, or at land-based radar and test sites.
