An aerospace client is looking for a Destructive Physical Analysis Lab Technician who will work under the Electrical Component and Material Lab (ECML) section. The successful candidate will support the DPA Lab by performing DPA testing on a wide variety of electronic components (passives, actives, connectors, hybrids, IMAs, COTS).
This position will be focused on performing Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA) on electrical components such as capacitors, diodes, resistors, connectors, Printed Wiring Boards, and multi-circuit units. The selected candidate will be assigned primarily to either cross-section (metallography) or Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis and may support other types of work such as visual inspection, decapsulation, or bond pull.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
A typical day for the selected candidate would be working in a lab environment performing DPA tasks, typically reviewing specifications, performing cross-sections, analyzing parts on the SEM, and helping create test reports.
The selected candidate can expect to work on a variety of electrical components, which will make each job they work on a little different depending on the test requirements.
The selected candidate will be working on a team with technicians, engineers, and planners.
This person will also likely need to correspond with internal customers (engineers) on how to perform testing.
Conducts experiments and tests involving wafer, electronic, electromechanical, mechanical, optical, hydraulic, metallurgical, vacuum, or chemicals within fabrication or processing laboratories to support engineering and reliability analyses.
Evaluates new processes, components, products, and systems in conformance with engineering specifications.
Isolates problems for further analysis.
Collects and documents results, and generates reports.

Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook) skills
Candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
PREFERRED SKILLS:
Experience working at a DPA Lab or electronics failure analysis lab environment
Experience with Mil-Std-883, Mil-Std-750, Mil-Std-1580
Experience with Destructive Physical Analysis Lab equipment (such as microscopes, bond-pull, die-shear, SEM/EDX, cross-sectioning, etc.)
Good verbal & written communication skills
