If you are an electronics specialist who is tired of being trapped in a repetitive assembly line role or siloed at a rigid corporate giant, this engineering support seat is built for you. We are an established, highly stable manufacturer with over a decade of consistent year-over-year growth, specializing in custom electronic systems for military and aerospace applications. Because our team is lean and agile, you won't get lost in the shuffle—your day-to-day contributions are highly visible, deeply impactful, and directly recognized.

This is not a monotonous, single-process job. Our programs rotate, our designs evolve, and you will work across the entire lifecycle of highly engineered hardware. You will serve as the right hand to our design engineering team, transforming blank schematics into physical, functioning prototypes, diagnosing complex board failures under test conditions, and supporting high-reliability production runs. For a hands-on technologist who takes pride in extreme precision, this role provides an ideal learning environment and a clear, defined path to expand into broader engineering responsibilities over time.

What You Will Be Doing

• Assembling, soldering, and populating complex multi-layer PCBs across prototype development and specialized low-volume production programs to strict IPC standards
• Troubleshooting electrical assemblies, components, wire harnesses, and circuits independently to locate root-cause failures and support ongoing engineering evaluations
• Collaborating directly with design engineering to bring up initial boards, execute functional product testing, and manage smooth manufacturing startup activities
• Assisting in the development of Bills of Materials (BOMs), sourcing specialized electrical components, and managing engineering lab equipment calibrations
• Preparing detailed technical documentation, including draft assembly drawings, test reports, and structural calculations for electronic designs
• Supporting continuous quality assurance initiatives in strict alignment with AS9100D aerospace and defense protocols
• Managing multiple project support tasks simultaneously, adapting quickly to shifting program priorities on a fast-paced team

What We Are Looking For

• Electronics Bench Background: Proven, hands-on experience working as an electronics technician or engineering technologist. (An Associate’s degree in Electronics or Electrical Technology is preferred, but we will gladly welcome a master technician with 10+ years of advanced bench experience).
• Soldering Mastery: High proficiency in PCB assembly, rework, and soldering. Prior IPC certification or equivalent hands-on mastery is a core requirement.
• Schematic Fluency: A flawless ability to read, interpret, and trace electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and engineering layout documentation.
• Diagnostic Instincts: Strong, independent troubleshooting skills—someone who is entirely comfortable using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and lab power supplies to isolate faults on a component level.
• Self-Directed Drive: A proactive professional who can take engineering guidance and run with it independently, managing their own workbench priorities effectively.

Strong Pluses (Not Required)

• Prior experience working within or supporting an AS9100D or aerospace-certified quality environment
• Familiarity with power supply designs, board layout concepts, or custom optical/electronic systems
• Basic exposure to 3D modeling software (SolidWorks or similar) or circuit simulation tools (PSpice or similar)
• Prior experience working in a military, defense-adjacent, or ruggedized-product manufacturing setting
