??? Support the Systems That Power Space Launches

We’re hiring Instrumentation/DCS Technicians to support key infrastructure tied to rocket launches. This team plays a hands-on role in the buildout of the new crew access tower at Pad 40 and the Hangar X booster garage expansion at Cape Canaveral.

From instrumentation to DAQ systems, you’ll work side-by-side with engineers and fellow technicians to build, wire, and troubleshoot the systems that make launches possible.

?? What You’ll Do:

• Install and terminate wiring for pad instrumentation and data acquisition (DAQ) systems

• Build and wire cabinets, breakout boxes, and complex cable assemblies using Mil-C connectors

• Run conduit, build cable racks, and install electrical conveyances — including threading steel when needed

• Read and interpret electrical schematics to complete precise installations and repairs

• Perform continuity checks and troubleshoot wiring using ohmmeters, voltage calibrators, and other tools

• Collaborate with engineers to resolve failures from test data

• Write, organize, and maintain work planning documents and procedures

• Troubleshoot and support AC power distribution systems up to 480VAC

• Install, maintain, and troubleshoot PLC-based control systems

• Support launch pad operations, including post-launch recovery and reset
