Interprets highly complex electronics diagrams and schematics for determining the cause and leading to the repair of equipment malfunctions.
(4) Performs site surveys and uses sophisticated engineering analysis tools (e.g. Falcon Look, and Radar Coverage Predictor) to generate placement and configuration documentation depicting radar coverage and radiation patterns. Notifies appropriate agencies of possible Radio Frequency (RF)radiation, interference or other hazards. Develops, formats, and reviews both internal and external after-action report documentation. Provides direct customer support which includes field testing and recommending new equipment, site surveys, training, resolving problems related to configuration management, systems functionality, hardware and software configuration, and system conflict resolution.
(5) Coordinates frequency requests with installation spectrum manager or other agencies to de-conflict frequency assignments when required.
(6) Performs equipment modification and changes as directed by Time Compliance Technical Orders(TCTO). Works with Quality Assurance, Job Control, and Supply to insure the appropriate TCTO kit is on hand, schedule and perform the modification, and complete a special inspection at the completion of the modification.
