· Use test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies.
· The technician must also perform detailed visual inspections of spacecraft harnesses to IPC/WHMA-A-620 Space Addendum, ECSS standards, and internal programme standards, and verify mechanical integrity including routing, shielding, lacing, braiding, strain relief, tie locations, and bend radii.
· Supporting vibration and thermal development tests, running functional testing on units, performing HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) testing of assemblies, and supporting conformal masking, epoxy application, and coating activities
3. Ground Support Operations
· Assist in satellite checkout and launch preparations.
· Support electrical testing during environmental tests such as vibration, thermal-vacuum, and EMI/EMC testing.
· Monitor satellite electrical systems during integration and launch campaigns.
4. Troubleshooting and Repair
· Diagnose electrical faults and component failures.
· Repair or replace defective electronic components.
· Analyze test data to identify system issues.
· Support root-cause investigations during anomalies.
5. Documentation and Reporting
· Maintain test records and inspection reports.
· Update wiring diagrams and technical documentation.
· Record maintenance activities and corrective actions.
6. Quality and Safety Compliance
· Follow aerospace quality standards and procedures.
· Adhere to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) control requirements.
· Ensure clean-room protocols are maintained.
· Support quality audits and inspections.
7. Preventive Maintenance
· Maintain test equipment and ground support equipment.
· Calibrate instruments according to procedures.
· Perform routine inspections to prevent failures.
