• Isolate, trace, and repair circuit-level faults, hardware defects, and signal anomalies using oscilloscopes, meters, and signal generators
• Partner directly with design engineers during board layout reviews, prototype builds, bench validations, and manufacturing handoffs
• Assist with Bill of Materials (BOM) management, technical component sourcing, and vendor specification tracking for active builds
• Prepare and update technical drawings, schematic revisions, assembly instructions, and component calculation records
• Support facility quality processes, inspection logs, and environmental testing in strict accordance with AS9100D aerospace standards
• Travel domestically up to 20 days per year for field validation, flight-line testing, and client installations

• Associate Degree in Electronics Technology preferred, or 10+ years of direct trades experience in lieu of degree
• Verifiable background as a dedicated electronics technician with demonstrated mastery in precision PCB soldering and benchtop assembly
• Confident ability to read multi-page electrical schematics, wire harness diagrams, and system interconnect prints
• Proven skill in isolating circuit performance errors or assembly defects with minimal engineering oversight
• Proactive, self-directed work ethic comfortable prioritizing daily bench tasks and managing deadlines in a lean environment
• US work authorization
• Established permanent residence within a dependable daily commuting radius of the Greater Milwaukee / NE WI corridor

• Experience with NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) technologies, photometric testing, or military-spec ruggedized enclosures
• Exposure to Solid Works, P-Spice circuit simulation, or PCB layout tools (Altium / Eagle)
• Prior military service specializing in avionics, radar, radio, or fire control system maintenance

• Up to $70,000 starting base salary, commensurate with bench assembly and diagnostic depth
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Full healthcare benefits package

This direct-hire seat offers a predictable daytime schedule, a stable defense backlog, and a full corporate benefits package, with a clear path to advance into broader engineering responsibilities over time.
