Your Mission: Keep Security Moving - Great opportunity to transfer your purpose from uniform!

At Rapiscan Systems , we’re not just fixing machines—we’re keeping borders secure, protecting critical infrastructure, and ensuring national security . Our Field Service Technicians (FSTs) are the frontline experts who make sure our security screening and x-ray detection equipment is always up and running.

This isn’t a sit-at-a-desk job. You’ll be in the field, solving problems, working hands-on with cutting-edge technology, and making an impact. If you’re a veteran who thrives in independent, technical, and mission-driven work , this is your next great career move.

What You’ll Be Doing

Think Fast. Fix Faster.

• Install, maintain, and repair x-ray detection and security screening systems at TSA checkpoints, federal facilities, and private-sector locations.
  
• Diagnose mechanical and electrical issues —no soldering required, just smart troubleshooting and part replacements.
  
• Handle emergency service calls and be ready to respond within three hours when needed.
  

Own Your Territory. Own the Work.

• You’re the go-to person for TSA agents, security teams, and facility managers who rely on these machines daily.
  
• Manage your own service calls, repairs, and maintenance schedules like a pro.
  
• Train operators on how to use and maintain the equipment, so everything runs smoothly.
  

Stay Sharp. Stay Ready.

• Keep detailed service records, reports, and documentation—you know, the stuff that keeps everything running like a well-oiled machine.
  
• Work independently but stay connected with your team, dispatch, and managers for the big-picture mission.
  
• Maintain your company-issued Pelican kit with the right tools to get the job done.
  

Is This You?

• You know your way around electronics, mechanics, or field service work —whether from the military, a past job, or hands-on experience.
  
• Troubleshooting is second nature —you don’t just swap parts, you figure out the problem.
  
• You’re comfortable in high-security environments —you get why details matter, and you follow protocol.
  
• You like working independently —but also know when to call in backup.
  
• You’re good with people —because, this job is about keeping people and systems running smoothly .
  
• Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.
  
• Must be a U.S. citizen and able to pass an in-depth SSI security clearance .
  
• No DUIs, bankruptcies, or unmanageable debts in the past three years .
  
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation —you’ll be covering St. Louis and surrounding areas.
  
• Must live within 30 minutes of St. Louis, MO (we’ll stretch it to an hour with traffic).
  
• Travel up to 75% (sometimes overnight) is part of the deal.
