Suggest a Feature →Ground Radar Systems
Maintains and repairs ground-based radar systems supporting air traffic control, weather, and air defense missions. Services search radars, precision approach radars, and weather radars at Air Force installations.
“You'll maintain the radar systems that make air traffic control, weather forecasting, and air defense possible — complex electronics with direct aviation safety implications. Radar maintenance experience transfers to FAA radar maintenance careers and defense contractor radar support positions. The technical depth is significant and the career field is consistently employed.”
Ground radar maintenance means you're responsible for the systems that ATC and weather use to do their jobs — which means the consequences of a radar being down are immediately visible and loudly communicated. The electronics troubleshooting skills are genuine and deep. FAA radar maintenance positions and defense contractor radar support roles recruit from military ground radar backgrounds. The work is shift-influenced by the operational schedule and weather events don't pause for maintenance windows.
