Job Description Electrical Engineering Technologist – Aerospace & Defense Systems Up to $70,000 • Greater Milwaukee / Northeast Wisconsin Corridor • 100% Onsite • Direct-Hire The Opportunity: Step away from the slow-moving, bureaucratic "cog in the machine" corporate environments. A highly respected, veteran-owned aerospace and defense electronics manufacturer is expanding its technical team. This organization has established a decade of consistent, high-velocity growth by delivering specialized, ruggedized mission-critical electronic systems for elite military and aviation applications. EXPERIENCE DEPTH: Hands-on electronic bench experience is required; an Associate’s Degree in Electronics Technology is preferred, but 10+ years of direct industry trades experience is considered a full equivalent BENCH MASTERY: Verifiable proficiency in PCB assembly and precision soldering; practical familiarity with IPC standards is essential TECHNICAL LITERACY: Absolute capability to confidently read, interpret, and troubleshoot directly from electrical schematics, engineering wire diagrams, and technical drawings EARNING POTENTIAL: Up to $70,000 base salary (fully scaling with hands-on technical depth) + 401(k) and full corporate benefits package TRAVEL PROFILE: Up to 20 days per year of domestic travel to support field testing, aerospace validation, or client installations LOCATION: Greater Milwaukee / Northeast Wisconsin corridor (Must reside within a dependable daily driving radius of the production plant) COMPLIANCE: United States work authorization required; corporate visa sponsorship and relocation assistance are not available For a skilled electronics technician or technologist who is tired of repetitive, mundane assembly line work, this direct-hire opportunity provides an exceptional professional upgrade. Operating as a lean, agile engineering team, this position serves as the primary technical bridge between initial component design and physical production layout. Instead of being stuck handling a single repetitive task, the technologist will touch every single phase of the build cycle—from initial prototype creation to advanced engineering troubleshooting. The company culture is anchored in a non-bureaucratic, mission-first environment that values individual technical autonomy, pride in craftsmanship, and clear accountability. Because they support high-specification defense pipelines, their project backlog is incredibly stable. For a self-directed professional who wants to see their craftsmanship literally take flight, this role provides a distinct, transparent path to advance into broader engineering responsibilities over time. What You Will Be Doing Precision Assembly: Executing high-reliability soldering and assembly of multi-layer PCBs to strict IPC quality benchmarks for both custom prototypes and production runs. Technical Troubleshooting: Diagnosing, tracing, and resolving complex hardware deviations within electrical assemb
