full-time Full job description Former Navy OS, ET or CT? This is the civilian job that uses what you already know. We are hiring a Lab Technician to keep a Navy combat systems test lab in San Diego up and running. If you were a Tactical Data Coordinator, a Link operator, or a technician who kept comms and combat systems online at sea, this is the same work ashore. Same gear, same problems, no deployments, and you go home at the end of it. What you would do every day Generate and load crypto. Platform keysets, daily and weekly key loads, across radios, terminals, network gear and encryptors. KG-40, KIV-7M, TACLANE, PRC-117G and the associated terminal equipment. Work Simple Key Loaders and KMI appointments, and run daily CMS inventory and destruction. Stand up tactical data link terminals, radios and combat system equipment for scheduled test events. Troubleshoot what breaks. Terminal faults, timing and time-source problems, load failures, track reporting issues, connectivity that will not come up. Chase faults to root cause instead of swapping boxes until the problem hides. Then redline the drawings and write the change request so the next person knows what actually happened. Build and run cable. Ethernet, low-level serial, coax, MIL-STD-1553. Terminate it, ground it, test it, label it.

Rack and stack:

shelves, switches, PDUs, UPS units, batteries. What you need Active Secret clearance and US citizenship. You must be eligible for COMSEC access. Hands-on crypto loading and COMSEC handling under formal accountability procedures. US Navy Operations Specialist (OS) , Electronics Technician (ET) , Cryptologic Technician (CT) or equivalent. Tactical Data Coordinator experience is the closest match. Equivalent contractor experience counts too. Working knowledge of Link 11 and Link 16 : terminal setup, initialization, getting on the net, and figuring out why you are not. You can fabricate and terminate cable and use a multimeter and standard test equipment. You can troubleshoot methodically and explain your reasoning, not just your fix. High school diploma or equivalent. Navy rate training and C-schools count. No college degree required. On-site in San Diego. This is lab work on real equipment. You can work second shift, third shift and weekends. The lab runs when the tests run. Be honest with yourself about this one before you apply. Helps, but not required COMSEC custodian or alternate custodian duty. SKL and KMI experience. JREAP, Satellite TADIL J, or multi-TDL architecture work. C2P, CDLMS, ADNS, CANES, AEGIS or SSDS familiarity.

Fifteen minutes after you find something, the engineer and the government lead both know, because you told them yourself.
