Position Summary

A rapidly growing defense technology organization is seeking an Electronics Engineering Technician to support the design, development, testing, integration, and deployment of advanced electronic systems for mission-critical aviation and defense applications.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll work on projects from concept through field deployment. You'll collaborate with engineers to prototype, build, troubleshoot, test, and integrate custom electronic systems while supporting real-world operational missions around the globe.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys building hardware, solving complex technical problems, and seeing their work deployed in the field. If you're looking for a role where innovation happens in-house, not just maintaining legacy systems, this is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology with exceptional autonomy.

What You'll Do

• Build, test, troubleshoot, and integrate advanced electronic systems for aviation and defense applications

• Support PCB layout, hardware development, and prototype assembly activities

• Conduct system-level testing, validation, and environmental qualification of electronic hardware

• Diagnose component-level failures and implement corrective actions during development and deployment

• Collaborate with Electrical, Mechanical, Software, and Systems Engineers throughout the product lifecycle

• Maintain technical documentation, test procedures, and engineering records

• Support field deployments, system installation, troubleshooting, and customer training as required

• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts across product development, manufacturing, and testing

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline preferred (equivalent experience will be considered)

• Experience developing, building, or troubleshooting electronic systems

• Knowledge of PCB layout, schematic interpretation, and electronic components

• Experience using electronic test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and power supplies

• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills

• Ability to work independently while collaborating within a multidisciplinary engineering team

• Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills

• Ability and willingness to travel internationally and support extended deployments when required

Preferred Qualifications

• Aviation, aerospace, defense, or unmanned systems experience

• Experience with avionics systems, embedded electronics, or RF communications

• PCB design or PCB layout experience

• Military, defense contractor, or government program experience

• FAA, DoD, or aviation electronics knowledge

• Active or previously held U.S. Security Clearance

Why This Opportunity

• Work on cutting-edge aviation and defense technologies from concept through deployment

• Opportunity to travel worldwide supporting real-world missions

• 8,000+ square feet of dedicated engineering labs, maker space, and test facilities

• Broad technical exposure across design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and field operations

• Significant investment in employee training and continuing education

• Collaborative engineering culture with exceptional technical freedom and autonomy

• Company-paid employee medical insurance with extremely low-cost family coverage

• Opportunity to make a direct impact on technologies supporting national security and defense missions
