Important before you apply: This is a hands-on bench avionics role in Fairfield, CA. It is not remote, not field-installation focused, and not an entry-level electronics position. Please apply only if you can perform component-level troubleshooting and repair on aircraft/avionics electronic equipment.
Why Join North Bay Aviation?

You will join a focused repair-station team where avionics expertise, accurate troubleshooting, technical documentation, and quality workmanship matter every day.
About the Role
We are hiring an Avionics Bench Technician to test, troubleshoot, repair, and overhaul aircraft electronic components and systems.

· Troubleshoot circuit boards and electronic components to the component level.
· Use multimeters, oscilloscopes, frequency generators, counters, and related avionics/electronics test equipment.
· Read and accurately apply maintenance manuals, schematics, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.

· You have only entry-level electronics training and do not yet have hands-on troubleshooting experience.
· You are looking mainly for aircraft installation, line maintenance, or A&P mechanic work rather than bench-level avionics repair.
· You are not comfortable reading schematics, manuals, service bulletins, and wiring diagrams as part of daily work.
Preferred Qualifications
· Aircraft system knowledge, especially aircraft instrumentation, autopilot, air data computers, and electrical power systems.
· Intermediate-level or specialized aircraft electronics repair experience.
