Overview
Are you an electrical engineer who enjoys getting hands-on with complex technical problems and figuring out why something failed - not just how to fix it?
We are seeking a Sustainment Engineer to support advanced technology products used in major military programs. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys troubleshooting, root cause analysis, production support, and working across engineering and manufacturing teams to improve product reliability throughout the lifecycle.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
· Troubleshoot production, test, warranty, and product performance issues.
· Diagnose Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) failures using component-level analysis, signal tracing, and power/ground integrity checks.
· Review electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and circuit documentation.
· Lead root cause investigations using 8D, 5-Whys, Ishikawa, and similar methodologies.
· Develop and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
· Perform bench-level electrical debugging, signal probing, and validation testing.
· Support production test equipment, fixtures, calibration, and Gage R&R.
· Manage ECP/ECOs, BOM updates, technical documentation, Control Plans, FMEAs, and Inspection Plans.
· Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, subcontractors, and suppliers to resolve technical issues and improve reliability.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
· Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or another engineering discipline with equivalent relevant experience.
· 3-5 years of Sustainment, Production, Manufacturing, or related Engineering experience preferred.
· Strong electrical engineering foundation: schematic review, circuit analysis, test equipment, and CCA troubleshooting.
· Defense, aerospace, electronics manufacturing, or other high-reliability environment experience strongly preferred.
· Strong analytical, critical-thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
· U.S. Citizenship required; Secret clearance or ability and willingness to obtain one required.
