ISR Systems Technician

This is a hands-on technical role supporting the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and lifecycle sustainment of advanced airborne ISR mission systems. You will help ensure critical systems remain reliable, validated, and mission-ready in demanding operational environments. The position spans RF, networking, software, sensors, communications, and mission computing technologies. You will work independently while collaborating closely with engineering, sustainment, and operational teams. Your expertise will directly contribute to the availability and performance of systems used in real-world intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations. The role offers significant technical responsibility, field exposure, and opportunities to work with sophisticated mission technologies in a fast-moving environment. Accountabilities:

• Install, configure, maintain, and sustain airborne ISR mission systems, including EO/IR sensors, tactical radios, mission computers, radar systems, data links, video networks, moving-map software, and SIGINT equipment.
• Conduct pre-mission system checks, field-level troubleshooting, corrective maintenance, and system validation to ensure operational readiness.
• Perform Windows and Linux administration tasks, including scripting, log analysis, patch management, and user account administration.
• Use spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, network analyzers, RF power meters, and other test equipment to isolate faults and validate system performance.
• Configure and troubleshoot TCP/IP-based mission networks, including subnetting, static routing, VLAN tagging, and secure transport links.
• Diagnose issues across RF, power, and IP-based interfaces using technical schematics, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and system documentation.
• Perform software loads, firmware updates, and configuration changes in accordance with approved system baselines and security requirements.
• Support the integration and validation of new hardware and software capabilities in collaboration with engineering and sustainment teams.
• Produce detailed technical feedback and field reports to support root-cause analysis, continuous improvement, and long-term lifecycle planning.
• Build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders and communicate technical capabilities, limitations, support requirements, and opportunities for innovation clearly.
• Work with a high degree of independence and provide hands-on technical support in hangar, flightline, and deployed environments.
• Travel internationally as required to support operational and mission needs.

• Bachelor’s degree or 6+ years of relevant professional experience; alternatively, an Associate’s degree plus 4+ years of related experience.
• At least 3 years of experience supporting airborne ISR mission systems in deployed or field environments.
• Strong understanding of radar fundamentals and modes of operation, including GMTI, MMTI, SAR, weather, and related applications.
• Hands-on proficiency with RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, power meters, and network analyzers.
• Strong understanding of RF signal paths, IP-based system interfaces, and TCP/IP networking and routing concepts.
• Ability to read and interpret technical schematics, wiring diagrams, block diagrams, and related engineering documentation.
• Experience implementing system configuration changes, software loads, firmware updates, and technical troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems, including system administration and basic scripting.
• Ability to perform technical duties independently with minimal supervision and demonstrate sound judgment in operational environments.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving abilities, combined with a methodical and detail-oriented approach.
• A Master’s degree or 12+ years of related experience is advantageous.
• A Bachelor’s degree plus 8 years of related experience is advantageous.
• DoD 8140 IAT Level 2 certification, such as CompTIA Security+ or Cisco CCNA, is beneficial.
• 6+ years of experience supporting airborne ISR mission systems in deployed or field environments is preferred.

• Private medical insurance.
• Subsidized gym membership and wellness plans through Wellhub.
• Electric car scheme.
• Cycle-to-work scheme.
• Salary-sacrifice pension scheme.
• Free lunch on office days.
• Enhanced parental leave.
• 30 days of annual paid time off plus public holidays.
• Bonus scheme.
• Personal and professional development opportunities.
• Full-time employment with typical Monday-to-Friday working hours, subject to operational and departmental requirements.
• Opportunity to work with advanced airborne ISR, RF, networking, sensor, communications, and mission-system technologies.
• Hands-on exposure to complex operational environments, including hangar and flightline settings.
• International travel opportunities, with travel potentially reaching up to 50% worldwide.
• Applicants must have the legal right to work in Germany and be able to provide the required right-to-work documentation.
