About the Opportunity
Join a hands-on, 12+ month contract supporting advanced manufacturing and instrumentation at nuclear facilities. You’ll begin with structured training on EDM systems and I&C fundamentals, then deploy to sites where precision, safety, and documentation matter every day.
Training & Travel
- Training: July 2026 at the Westinghouse Waltz Mill facility in Madison, PA
- After training: Travel to various nuclear sites to perform assigned work
A Day in the Life
Start by reviewing schematics and your work plan. Calibrate sensors and verify control circuits. Configure and program a ZAP EDM sinker machine for precision manufacturing. Troubleshoot a PLC loop with a digital multimeter and oscilloscope. Log your work, align with engineering and production teams, and wrap with a safety check before tomorrow’s assignment.
What You’ll Do
- Install, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair instrumentation, control circuits, PLCs, sensors, and automated process control systems
- Set up, operate, and program ZAP EDM sinker machines to support precision manufacturing activities
- Collaborate with engineering and production to ensure compliant, reliable operations
- Document maintenance and testing activities; maintain accurate equipment logs
- Perform instrumentation testing using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and customer/supplier simulators
- Interpret drawings and execute test procedures
- Operate a range of electronic and electrical test equipment
- Read and follow drawings, blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering instructions when assembling/testing electronic units, applying core electronic theory
- Consistently apply applicable quality, health, and safety procedures
- Perform field cable installation work
What You Bring
- Preferred: Strong military background in electronics (e.g., Electronics Technician, Avionics Specialist)
- Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort with precision equipment
- Major plus: Familiarity with ZAP EDM or similar sinker/wire EDM platforms
- Required: High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience
- Preferred: 2+ years of similar hands-on experience
If you enjoy tackling complex instrumentation challenges, programming precision EDM equipment, and keeping meticulous records in high-consequence environments, this role will keep you learning and moving.
