Full Job Description

WGS Systems, LLC, is looking for Flight Test Technicians with experience and background in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems flight testing. Primary work activities will take place in Hagerstown, MD with occasional travel supporting various events.

The successful candidate is a mission-experienced operator or maintainer with the aptitude to conduct flight testing in the airborne ISR and SIGINT domains. This is a direct flight test operations role for a hands-on technician who is more comfortable in an aircraft seat than behind a desk. You are the type of professional who can manage a multi-modal sensor suite (SAR, EO/IR, EW) in high-pressure environments, possessing the common sense and technical ability to operate systems and troubleshoot hardware or software faults mid-mission. Whether you are a veteran Army 15-series, an Air Force 1A8, a Navy CT or other similar MOS looking to transition your cryptologic or technical skills to flight test, you bring the focus and work ethic required for high-stakes airborne sensor testing.

Key Responsibilities/Duties Include:

In-Flight System Operation: Work as an onboard operator for SAR/GMTI, EO/IR, and SIGINT/EW sensor suites, following test cards to collect data and adjusting settings as needed to ensure a successful mission.
General Troubleshooting: Identify and help fix hardware, cabling, and software issues during flight and ground operations to keep the systems running and avoid cancelled flights.
Ground Checks & Setup: Assist with pre-flight system checks and ground integration tests to make sure sensors, data links, and mission computers are ready for takeoff.
Data Handling: Follow data collection steps carefully to ensure all information is recorded correctly; check data formats post-flight before handing off to the engineering team.
Mission Documentation: Fill out flight logs and discrepancy reports (DRs) clearly and accurately, noting exactly what happened with the equipment during the mission.
Safety & Teamwork: Follow U.S. Army crew rest standards and all aviation safety rules, working as a reliable member of the flight crew to ensure safe operations.
Flexible Schedule Execution: Show up ready to work for a variable schedule that includes early mornings, late nights, and weekend shifts to meet mission requirements.

Qualification Requirements:

Education: High School Diploma or equivalent. Completion of a military technical school (A-School/C-School/AIT) or a vocational program in electronics, ISR, or communications is a major plus.
Experience: 4+ years of experience in a technical, hands-on role—ideally involving sensors, radios, or electronics maintenance.
Security Clearance: Active TS/SCI clearance is mandatory.
Military Background (Preferred): We strongly encourage applications from those with experience in roles including:
- Navy: CT (Cryptologic Technician), AT (Aviation Electronics Technician), CTT, or CTR.
- Army: 15W/15E, 35-series (Intel), or 94-series (Maintainers).
- Air Force: 1A8, 1U0, or 2A-series (Avionics).
- USMC: 26-series (SIGINT), 63/64-series (Avionics), 02-series (Intel), or 7314 (UAV Operator).
Flight Physical: Ability to pass a standard FAA Class III flight physical (or military equivalent).
Technical Aptitude: A basic understanding of how electronics work, how signals flow through cables, and a willingness to learn the specifics of Radar, EO/IR, and SIGINT systems.
Physical Stamina: Comfortable working in the confined space of a business jet for several hours at a time.
Availability: Must be willing and able to work an “off-shift” schedule, including nights and weekends.
