About The Position

This advanced engineering support role offers an ideal career move for an electronics specialist seeking to escape repetitive assembly-line environments or rigid corporate bureaucracy. Our client is a highly secure, heavily capitalized aerospace and defense partner specializing in high-reliability electronic systems for mission-critical applications. Operating as an agile engineering hub with over a decade of steady growth, the company offers high visibility, direct collaboration, and direct impact on new technologies. Serving as the primary right hand to a hardware design engineering group, you will work across the entire product lifecycle of engineered systems. You will transform raw concepts into functioning physical prototypes, diagnose complex board failures under lab conditions, and support production readiness—all within a zero-bureaucracy R&D setting.

Requirements

Associate Degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering Technology OR 6+ years of master technician bench experience in lieu of a degree
Must be legally authorized to work in the US without present or future sponsorship
Local residency within commuting distance of the Greater Milwaukee area
Hands-on experience as an electronics technician or engineering technologist.
High proficiency in PCB population, surface-mount modification, and fine-pitch component solder rework.
Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and trace complex electrical schematics, component spec sheets, and wiring diagrams.
Practical expertise using oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, and bench power supplies to troubleshoot hardware to the component level.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without present or future sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting high-reliability quality management environments (AS9100D, ISO 9001, or defense systems).
Familiarity with power supply topologies, custom electro-optical systems, or basic RF electronics.
Exposure to 3D CAD modeling tools (SolidWorks) or circuit simulation platforms (LTspice).

Responsibilities

Assemble & Modify Prototype PCBs: Populate, assemble, and perform fine-pitch solder rework on complex multi-layer PCBs across prototype development and low-volume production phases.
Execute Board Bring-Up & Diagnostics: Partner directly with hardware design engineers to conduct initial board bring-ups, functional bench testing, and root-cause fault isolation.
Troubleshoot Electrical Assemblies: Isolate component-level failures across circuit boards, wiring harnesses, and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies using oscilloscopes and diagnostic tools.
Support BOMs & Lab Equipment: Assist with component sourcing, Bill of Materials (BOM) verifications, and calibration/maintenance of precision laboratory equipment.
Generate Lab Documentation: Create assembly documentation, validation test reports, and engineering data logs in alignment with high-reliability quality standards (AS9100/defense).
