Position Overview
Join a team supporting the manufacture of cutting-edge photon-counting CT detector technology used in advanced medical imaging.
As an Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you will provide hands-on technical support for highly complex detector manufacturing processes. You will work at the intersection of precision manufacturing, electronics, automation, equipment, materials, and data to troubleshoot production issues, investigate defects, and help improve manufacturing reliability.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and wants to understand not only what failed, but why it failed and how to prevent it from happening again.
Key Responsibilities
Troubleshoot complex manufacturing equipment, tooling, fixtures, test systems, and production processes.
Investigate detector and assembly defects using structured, evidence-based problem solving.
Diagnose mechanical, electrical, electronic, equipment, material, and process-related issues.
Analyze manufacturing history, process parameters, equipment data, and test results to identify failure patterns and potential root causes.
Support precision assembly, microelectronics, electrical test, inspection, metrology, and automated manufacturing processes.
Perform fault isolation using diagnostic tools, controlled testing, and comparison of known-good and suspect assemblies.
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality on root cause investigations, containment, corrective actions, and process improvements.
Support equipment setup, qualification, process experiments, technology introduction, and manufacturing improvements.
Identify recurring problems and help develop permanent solutions that improve quality, yield, equipment reliability, and manufacturing efficiency.
Create clear technical documentation of troubleshooting activities, findings, and corrective actions.
Serve as a technical resource to production teams supporting advanced detector manufacturing.
Qualifications
Required
Associate degree in Electronics, Electromechanical Technology, Mechatronics, Automation, Manufacturing Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
Hands-on experience troubleshooting complex manufacturing equipment, electronics, automated systems, test equipment, or precision manufacturing processes.
Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills.
Demonstrated ability to systematically isolate problems using data and physical evidence.
Ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics, specifications, and manufacturing documentation.
Strong attention to detail, technical curiosity, communication, and documentation skills.
Preferred
Experience in medical device, semiconductor, microelectronics, electronics, sensors, imaging, or other high-precision manufacturing environments.
Experience with precision assembly, microelectronics, automated equipment, electrical testing, inspection, or metrology.
Familiarity with electrical diagnostic equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, or similar instrumentation.
Experience with structured root-cause analysis and corrective-action methodologies.
Experience working in a regulated or highly controlled manufacturing environment.
Experience using manufacturing data and tools such as Excel, Power BI, SQL, or statistical analysis software to investigate technical problems.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for a hands-on technical problem solver who is naturally curious about how complex systems work.
The ideal candidate enjoys taking an unfamiliar problem, gathering evidence, systematically narrowing the possible causes, and driving the issue toward a sustainable solution. You will have the opportunity to develop deep expertise in advanced detector manufacturing while helping bring next-generation CT technology to life.
Notes:
Work shift – 1st 7Am - 330PM (OT is occasional if needed)

Engineering Technician Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a engineering technician in Wisconsin?
Most engineering technician roles in Wisconsin require at minimum an associate degree in engineering technology, electronics, or a related field, typically earned through programs at Wisconsin Technical College System schools such as Madison College, Milwaukee Area Technical College, or Fox Valley Technical College. Wisconsin does not require a state-issued license for most engineering technician positions, but obtaining professional certification from NICET or a relevant technical society meaningfully strengthens a candidate's profile with Wisconsin employers.
Which companies hire engineering technicians in Wisconsin?
Employers hiring engineering technicians in Wisconsin right now include Generac Power Systems, Team TTI, and Milwaukee Tool, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Wisconsin's concentration of advanced manufacturing, defense contracting, and power generation companies means demand for engineering technicians is spread across both large corporate employers and specialized mid-size facilities throughout the state.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most engineering technician jobs?
Milwaukee, Brookfield, and Waukesha account for the largest share of engineering technician openings in Wisconsin. Milwaukee anchors demand through its dense manufacturing and industrial automation sector, Madison draws hiring from both state government engineering operations and growing tech-adjacent employers, and Green Bay's concentration of paper, packaging, and utility infrastructure companies creates consistent demand in surrounding northeastern Wisconsin communities.
Are there remote engineering technician jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're rare. Engineering technician work is largely hands-on and site-dependent, so fully remote positions are uncommon in this field. About 20% of engineering technician openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with those roles concentrated in documentation, quality assurance review, or technical support functions that don't require a physical presence on a production floor or test bench.
How can I get hired as a engineering technician in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing an engineering technology associate program at a Wisconsin Technical College System school, then targeting technician apprentice or lab assistant roles that large Wisconsin manufacturers such as Oshkosh Corporation and Generac regularly post for graduates without prior industry experience. Candidates coming from adjacent roles like maintenance mechanic, quality inspector, or production operator have a natural transition path, and earning a NICET Level I certification before applying gives an edge in electrical and instrumentation-focused positions.
Where can I find and apply to engineering technician jobs in Wisconsin?
You can find and apply to engineering technician jobs in Wisconsin on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Wisconsin employers. Search the listings to find roles that fit your experience level, location preference, and technical specialty, then apply directly to the ones that match.
