Engineering Specialist

Join a team where your hands-on skills directly support mission-critical defense technologies. At General Dynamics Mission Systems, you’ll work alongside engineers and technicians to build, test, and refine advanced electronic and electro-mechanical systems used in real-world applications.

Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned technician, this role offers the opportunity to grow your technical expertise while contributing to meaningful, high-impact work.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build, test, troubleshoot, repair, and modify electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies
• Calibrate, align, and maintain test equipment and system components
• Work from schematics and technical instructions to construct tools, fixtures, and experimental setups
• Perform diagnostics, data collection, and analysis to improve processes and performance
• Support lab experiments, including setup, execution, and documentation
• Prepare lab materials, including chemical compounds and solutions as needed
• Help solve real hardware and process challenges with practical, hands-on solutions
• Contribute to development and testing of advanced laser and light-based systems

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Hands-on work with cutting-edge defense and aerospace technologies
• Strong mentorship environment—learn from experienced engineers and technicians
• Mix of lab, production, and R&D exposure
• Clear path for growth from technician to advanced technical roles

Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizenship is required by Federal Law
• HS Diploma
• 1+ year of relevant experience in an engineering/laboratory support role (time in Electrical test or electro-mechanical test/assembly environment) OR equivalent training/experience
• Fundamental proficiency with electronic tools, test equipment, and fabrication
• Solder repair certification and/or FCC First Class License (may be required)
• Working knowledge of electro-mechanical systems, diagnostics, and calibration
• Department of Defense Secret security clearance required at time of hire
• On-site work required

Preferred Qualification:

• Associate’s degree in a related discipline or equivalent (Technical School/Military Training/bachelor's degree or Years of Experience) (We love Avionics Tech's - MOS 12R's /1142 / 17E)
• Solder repair certification and/or FCC First Class License
• DoD Security Clearance

I am looking for MANY individuals - so no matter how many people apply - if you are interested, I would like to see your resume!
