Sagetech Avionics is looking for a hands-on Sustaining Engineer to support the reliability, performance, and continuous improvement of our existing avionics products. In this role, you’ll work alongside talented engineering, manufacturing, quality, and test teams to solve technical challenges, investigate product issues, and implement improvements that support our customers and mission-critical applications.

If you enjoy troubleshooting complex systems, identifying root causes, and turning engineering challenges into practical solutions, we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues affecting existing avionics products, including production and field-reported issues.
• Lead or support root-cause investigations and implement effective corrective actions.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, FPGA, systems, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve cross-functional engineering challenges.
• Support production, integration, and testing activities to maintain product quality and reliability.
• Evaluate and implement engineering changes, product improvements, and component replacements.
• Maintain accurate engineering documentation, technical specifications, and product configuration records.
• Identify opportunities to improve product reliability, manufacturability, and long-term performance.
• Support nonconformance investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

• A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• Experience in engineering, troubleshooting, product support, integration, testing, or sustaining engineering.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate technical issues and identify root causes.
• Experience working collaboratively across technical and cross-functional teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail.
• The ability to manage priorities, take ownership of technical challenges, and follow issues through to resolution.
• Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled information and systems.

Nice to Have

• Experience in avionics, aerospace, defense electronics, or other safety-critical products.
• Familiarity with hardware, embedded software, FPGA, RF electronics, or complex electronic systems.
• Knowledge of engineering change control, configuration management, and product lifecycle support.
• Familiarity with aerospace and defense standards such as SAE ARP4754, RTCA DO-254, or RTCA DO-178C.
• Experience with root-cause analysis, failure investigations, reliability improvement, or manufacturing support.

Why Sagetech?
