Production Support Electrical Engineer
A high-reliability electronics manufacturing team needs an experienced electrical engineer to keep complex hardware builds moving by rapidly diagnosing factory and supplier issues, defining corrective paths, and owning problems through closure.
The strongest fit is a hands-on BSEE with 5-10 years of production, manufacturing, test, or sustaining engineering experience who can troubleshoot digital, analog, RF, or mixed-signal circuit card assemblies and communicate clearly across engineering, quality, operations, and suppliers.

Responsibilities
- Make rapid technical assessments of production problems, identify missing information, compare urgency across competing issues, and establish a disciplined troubleshooting or correction plan.
- Diagnose failures in complex circuit card assemblies and electro-mechanical hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, function generators, power supplies, and related electronic test equipment.
- Resolve production and supplier issues by coordinating corrective actions across electrical engineering, manufacturing, quality, operations, supply chain, and external suppliers.
- Own issue resolution from initial triage through verified closure, including clear status updates, technical decisions, risks, and next steps.
- Prepare, maintain, and present engineering change documentation, technical drawings, and change packages for formal review boards.
- Interpret schematics, printed circuit board layouts, bills of material, test results, defect data, and yield trends to determine root cause and prevent recurrence.
- Evaluate recurring failure modes and recommend design, process, test, or supplier improvements that improve throughput and hardware quality.
- Develop supplier statements of work and support general electrical engineering activities in a production environment.
Qualifications
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent accredited engineering degree.
- 5-10 years of relevant electrical engineering experience in production support, manufacturing engineering, test engineering, sustaining engineering, or hardware troubleshooting.
- Hands-on experience testing or debugging digital, analog, RF, and/or mixed-signal circuit card assemblies or electro-mechanical systems.
- Demonstrated ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and bills of material.
- Practical experience with common electronic laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, function generators, and programmable power supplies.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to lead cross-functional issue resolution.
- U.S. citizenship and an active or interim Secret clearance at the start of the assignment.
- Ability to work onsite in Tucson and travel domestically when required.
Preferred Qualifications
