Electronics Engineering Technician

Clifton, NJ | Full-Time | On-Site Since 1999, Miltronics has repaired and re-engineered the power and control electronics that keep critical infrastructure running. We work on elevators and escalators, industrial motor drives, UPS systems, EV chargers and solar inverters. Our Clifton, NJ facility handles component-level repair of circuit boards, drives, encoders and power conversion equipment. We also build UL-508A certified control panels and engineer retrofit upgrades for aging systems. We keep an extensive library of field wiring diagrams, and our team reverse-engineers and captures schematics in-house, so we can repair equipment others can't. Customers send it to us because replacement isn't an option or would cost far more than repair. We've built our reputation on fixing what others can't, and on standing behind every repair with real load testing before it ships. Diagnose failures at the component level on control boards, motor drives (VFD/servo), encoders, UPS systems, EV chargers (Level 2 and DC fast) and solar/battery inverters • Reverse-engineer boards and contribute to our in-house schematic capture library • Troubleshoot switch-mode power supplies, isolated gate drive circuits, feedback loops and protection circuits • Identify failure root causes, not just failed parts, and flag recurring failure modes Soldering & Rework • Perform through-hole and SMT soldering, rework and component replacement to IPC workmanship standards • apply and remove conformal coating Testing & Validation • Function-test and load-test repaired units on test stands before return to customers • Use oscilloscopes (including high-voltage differential and current probes), DMMs, LCR meters, curve tracers/ASA testers, insulation resistance testers, programmable power supplies and electronic loads • Verify isolation, insulation resistance and safety performance on high-voltage equipment Document failure analysis, repair actions and test results in our repair tracking system • Help source obsolete or hard-to-find components and identify suitable cross-references Follow lockout/tagout, discharge verification and high-voltage safety procedures on every unit • Collaborate with engineers and technicians on difficult repairs, retrofit projects and panel builds 3+ years of hands-on, component-level electronics repair experience (industrial, power electronics, military or similar) • Strong working knowledge of power electronics: rectifiers, DC bus, inverter topologies, SMPS and gate drive circuits • Advanced through-hole and SMT soldering and rework skills • Confident use of oscilloscopes, DMMs and standard bench test equipment • Proven safe work practices on high-voltage AC/DC equipment (up to 1000V+ DC), including discharge verification and isolation testing • Technical diploma, associate degree, or military/industry training in electronics, or equivalent hands-on experience • Strong attention to detail and the discipline to document your work NFPA 70E or equivalent electrical safety training • Military electronics training (avionics, radar, power systems or similar) • Familiarity with microcontrollers, firmware loading or basic programming for test and diagnostics Power Electronics Repair Technician — $40–$55/hr • Component-level repair of control boards, power supplies and drives, with team support on complex repairs • Medical through Blue Cross Blue Shield, with Miltronics paying 85% of premiums Senior Power Electronics Repair Technician — $55–$75/hr • Leads reverse engineering and schematic capture for new board types • Mentors technicians and helps develop repair procedures • Medical through Blue Cross Blue Shield, with Miltronics paying 100% of premiums Paid overtime for urgent customer repairs • Work on a wider range of power electronics than almost any repair shop in the region, from elevators to EV chargers • In-house reverse engineering and schematic capture, so you learn how equipment actually works • Full-time, Monday–Friday, on-site in Clifton, NJ. Occasional overtime/overscale pay may be required for urgent customer repairs.
