Bring high-tech blueprints to life. Assemble next-level radar hardware – so our systems perform flawlessly when tracking critical airborne objects.
As our Radar Mechanic, you build the high-tech systems that make our mission possible. You connect complex electronic components, translate detailed electrical diagrams, and deploy software onto integrated servers. Working closely with the Production, Engineering, and Warehouse teams, you tackle assembly faults early to drive continuous improvement. You report directly to the Head of Production and Planning, ensuring every radar leaves our premises tightly constructed and perfectly reliable.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Radar assembly and construction: Perform daily assembly tasks to build complex radar systems following strict requirements. Connect various electronic components, complete precision soldering, and build critical sub-assemblies. Ensure systems are tightly constructed both electronically and mechanically.
- Diagram translation and documentation: Create detailed work descriptions and test plans based on layouts. Translate electrical diagrams into refined products with meticulous attention to detail. Keep clear logs of your work and report on technical issues.
- Software deployment and integration: Deploy the necessary software onto servers integrated with the radar system. Assemble and deploy integrated computers, electronics, and essential transmitter equipment. Check that hardware and software components blend together seamlessly.
- Troubleshooting and continuous improvement: Address faults discovered during the assembly process and create Quality Alerts. Run diagnostic tests to discover functionality issues and resolve problems in a timely manner. Drive continuous improvement across our production pipeline.
- Testing support and logistics: Provide support on the testing phase at specialized test locations outside the office. Operate a forklift in the production facility to transfer items safely when needed. Maintain strict adherence to all company safety and quality standards.
WHAT YOU BRING
- BA (MBO-4) degree in Engineering or a relevant technical field.
