This standard covers nonsupervisory jobs involved in rebuilding, overhauling, installing, troubleshooting, repairing, modifying, calibrating, aligning, and maintaining integrated electronic systems, i.e., where the output of a number of sensor subsystems is integrated in a logic subsystem and the resultant used to modify the operation of the total system. Examples are: fire control, flight/landing control, automatic test equipment, flight simulators, bombing navigation, and electronic warfare or

This standard covers nonsupervisory jobs involved in rebuilding, overhauling, installing, troubleshooting, repairing, modifying, calibrating, aligning, and maintaining integrated electronic systems, i.e., where the output of a number of sensor subsystems is integrated in a logic subsystem and the resultant used to modify the operation of the total system. Examples are: fire control, flight/landing control, automatic test equipment, flight simulators, bombing navigation, and electronic warfare or multiple integrated electronic systems composed of several of these systems which are closely interrelated and interdependent. This work requires knowledge of electronics principles involved in a number of applications such as radar, data processing, and data display and usually mechanical and hydraulic knowledges involved in operation of equipment such as control valves, gyros, turrets and mounts, and mechanical computing devices.
Step-by-step guide to landing a federal electronic integrated systems mechanic position
WG positions require demonstrated skill in a specific trade or craft. Review the job announcement for required certifications, licenses, and hands-on experience.
WG positions are experience-based, not grade-based. Document your years of hands-on trade experience, apprenticeships completed, and journeyman status if applicable.
Collect your DD-214, trade certifications (welding, electrical, HVAC, etc.), apprenticeship completion certificates, and any specialized licenses required for your trade.
Create a detailed federal resume highlighting your hands-on trade experience, tools and equipment operated, safety training, and specific projects completed. Include hours worked per week.
Search for WG positions in your trade specialty, carefully answer assessment questions about your skill level and experience, and submit before the closing date.

Typical grades for Federal Wage System positions
An Electronic Integrated Systems Mechanic (WG-2610) rebuilds, overhauls, installs, troubleshoots, repairs, and maintains integrated electronic systems where multiple sensor subsystems feed into logic systems. Examples include fire control, flight/landing control, automatic test equipment, flight simulators, bombing navigation, and electronic warfare systems.
WG-2610 positions are paid under the Federal Wage System based on local prevailing rates. Journeyman wages (WG-11/12) typically range $30-$45 per hour. Annual earnings range $62,000-$94,000. Fire control and avionics specialists often earn premium rates due to complexity.
WG-2610 requires knowledge of electronics principles in radar, data processing, and data display applications, plus mechanical and hydraulic knowledge for control valves, gyros, turrets, and computing devices. This is one of the most technically complex WG electronics positions.
Absolutely. Military integrated systems experience is highly valued. MOSs like Army 94E (Radio Repairer), Navy FC (Fire Controlman), Air Force 2A (Avionics), or any rating involving fire control, flight control, or electronic warfare systems directly qualifies for WG-2610 positions.
Electronic Integrated Systems Mechanics progress through WG grades to journeyman (WG-11/12) and lead positions (WG-12+). Due to complexity, these positions often have higher starting grades. Career paths include GS engineering technician, systems specialist, or technical management roles.
Search USAJOBS for 'Electronic Integrated Systems' or series '2610.' Major employers include air logistics centers, shipyards, depot maintenance facilities, and defense contractors. Emphasize your specific systems experience (fire control, flight systems, EW) and certifications. Veterans receive strong preference.
