Job Description

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.

Location: Tucson, Arizona 85756

Schedule: 1st shift, 7:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; 9/80A schedule

Work Setting: Onsite

Role Type: Contract

Contract Duration: Long-term renewable contract with ability to extend multiple years or convert to permanent

Openings: 5

Citizenship: U.S. citizenship required

Clearance: Secret clearance required; active or interim Secret required at start

Pay Rate: $75-$85 per hour, depending on experience level and client approval

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

• Production engineering experience involving high-reliability aerospace, defense, avionics, missile, radar, sensor, or other mission-critical electronics.
• Electronic or electro-optical subsystem design experience, including circuit design, assembly processes, and fabrication practices.
• Experience with electrical design, simulation, analysis, and measurement tools such as Xpedition or Mentor Graphics, PSpice, MATLAB, Mathcad, CST, HFSS, or ADS.
• Subsystem integration, verification, environmental test, failure analysis, root-cause corrective action, and continuous-improvement experience.
• Ability to work independently, lead small technical teams, and provide technical guidance and project oversight.

Benefits

• Eligible full-time CRG contract employees who work at least 30 hours per week may enroll in the CRG benefits program.
• Coverage begins on the first day of the month following 30 days after the hire date.
• Three Aetna medical plan options are available, including an HSA-compatible option; in-network preventive care is covered in full.
• Voluntary dental and vision coverage.
• Company-paid $25,000 basic life and AD&D coverage for employees enrolled in a CRG medical plan.
• Voluntary life and AD&D, short-term disability, long-term disability, and accident coverage.
• Employee assistance resources and benefit advocacy support.
• Weekly pay, direct deposit, referral bonus opportunities, and ongoing CRG recruiting and account-management support.
• 401(k) eligibility after 12 months as a CRG employee.
• This is a summary only. Eligibility, coverage, exclusions, limits, waiting periods, payroll deductions, and employee costs are governed by official CRG plan documents and carrier materials.

Eligible Arizona employees accrue one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked. The statutory annual accrual and use limit is 40 hours for employers with at least 15 Arizona employees and 24 hours for smaller employers. Applicable carryover or frontloading rules, a possible 90-day new-hire waiting period, and any more generous CRG policy apply.
