Your job will be to keep these engines in first-rate operational condition. You will troubleshoot (diagnose problems) in engine systems such as the fuel system, oil system, electrical system and the engine airflow system. You will remove defective components and install serviceable ones. You may perform a test run of the repaired engine installed in either the aircraft or the test cell. To diagnose engine problems and perform engine checks, you will operate various types of highly sophisticated engine test equipment.
