The Electronic Integrated Systems Mechanic series, numbered 2610, covers nonsupervisory federal jobs working on integrated electronic systems. In a system like this, several sensor subsystems send their output into a logic subsystem, and the combined result is then used to change how the whole system operates.
The work covers installing these systems, tracking down faults, making repairs, and keeping the systems in working order. It also covers rebuilding and overhauling them, modifying them, calibrating them, and aligning them. Systems in this group include automatic test equipment, flight simulators, fire control, flight and landing control, and electronic warfare, as well as larger systems made up of several of these that are closely linked and depend on each other.
These jobs call for knowing how electronics principles apply in areas such as data processing, data display and radar. They usually also call for mechanical and hydraulic knowledge, because the equipment involved includes turrets and mounts, gyros, control valves, and devices that compute mechanically.
