Jobs Summary: Electronic Technician 2 - Provide direct testing and configuration support of equipment and materials necessary for specific station upgrades and depot operations. Tasks include performance of factory acceptance testing, station configuration of the equipment, manufacture of specific cable sets, and integration testing prior to deployment in conjunction with upgrade of the Global Seismological Network, and depot operations in conjunction with the Advanced National Seismic Network. Inventory/Supply Specialist - Provide inventory control and documentation, over and above what is required for normal GSN and depot operations, as several hundred pieces of equipment must be monitored.
