Keep jet engine component production moving
When a motor trips or a line halts, you’re the steady hand. As a multi-craft Maintenance Technician II with Pro Services Workforce Solutions, you’ll be deployed onsite at a top-tier aerospace investment casting facility in La Porte, IN. This is a hands-on, electrically focused role inside a clean, safety-centered plant where teamwork and engineering support are built in.
Your mission
Restore uptime fast, prevent failures before they happen, and elevate equipment reliability. You’ll triage issues from 0–24V control signals to 110–240V single-phase and 480V three-phase power, verify cabinet health with your meter and Megger, and resolve Allen-Bradley PLC hardware problems (I/O, fuses, status lights). Software changes are handled by the automation group, freeing you to master the hardware.
How you’ll deliver
- Balance reactive calls with structured preventive and predictive maintenance
- Repair motors, relays, wiring, and sensors to root cause—not just the symptom
- Rebuild mechanical systems: bearings, shafts and seals, and gearboxes
- Service pneumatics and hydraulics, from pump rebuilds to proportional valves
- Install, assemble, inspect, and test machinery; specify spares and log work in the CMMS
- Coordinate with operators; partner with mechanical/electrical engineering for complex challenges
Where you’ll thrive
- Aerospace investment casting operation supplying world-trusted jet engine programs
- Clean environment with rigorous, active safety programs (fall prevention, confined space)
- People-first culture: help each other, learn together; core values—Safety, Integrity, Pride, Teamwork
- Non-union; growing maintenance team with back-shift focus
Growth path
Onboarding on 1st shift—learn the plant and systems 6–9 months mentorship—work alongside senior technicians Deployment to 2nd or 3rd shift—bring your expertise to high-impact hoursShift hours: 1st 6:00 AM–2:00 PM (Mon–Fri); 2nd 2:00 PM–10:00 PM (Mon–Fri); 3rd 10:00 PM–6:00 AM (Sun–Thu). Weekend coverage every 4 weeks on your regular shift hours. Typical OT is 2.5–5 hours/week; ~17 hours on coverage weeks.
What you need to succeed
- 5–10 years industrial maintenance experience
- 4+ years electrical troubleshooting and repair
- Strong with control voltage, single-phase, and 480V three-phase systems
- Meter and Megger mastery; cabinet-level diagnostics
- Experience with motors, relays, wiring, sensors
- Mechanical rebuild capability: bearings, shafts/seals, gearboxes
- Baseline pneumatics and hydraulics knowledge
- CMMS proficiency and crisp operator communication
- Operate single-man scissor lifts
- Reading, writing, math; High school diploma or GED
Bonus skills
- Advanced electrical/mechanical depth and schematic fluency
- Servos, VFDs, transformers, I/O modules
- PLC troubleshooting, HMI, robotics
- Ultra-high vacuum systems and CNC equipment
- Pumps (positive displacement, air diaphragm, centrifugal); hydraulic cylinder rebuilds
- Welding: MIG, TIG, Stick
- Scissor/boom lifts and forklifts
Compensation, ownership, and benefits
- $33.50 – $35/hr, paid weekly
- Pro Services is employee-owned (ESOP)
- 100% employer-paid medical premiums starting Day 1 (single and family)
- Vision and dental insurance

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in hardware systems engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field
- Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware design tools
- Proficiency in digital logic design, FPGAs, or embedded microcontroller architectures
- Hands-on verification and validation experience using lab instruments and test equipment
- Familiarity with hardware development lifecycle processes and requirements traceability
- Clearance eligibility or active security clearance for defense and aerospace roles
Tips for Your Hardware Systems Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to the signal chain
List every stage of the hardware development lifecycle you have touched, from requirements capture through verification and validation. Recruiters and hiring managers scan for specific phases, so naming them explicitly puts your resume past automated filters faster than a generic summary.
Highlight your tools and EDA stack
Name the specific EDA tools, simulation environments, and lab instruments you have used. Schematic capture tools, SPICE simulators, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers are concrete signals to hiring teams, far more convincing than phrases like 'proficient in hardware design tools.'
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists hardware systems engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that match your domain depth
Defense and aerospace postings often require domain-specific experience like DO-254 or MIL-STD compliance, while consumer electronics roles prioritize cost-down design and fast iteration. Reading the full job description before applying helps you pitch the experience that actually matters to that team.
Prepare a hardware-specific portfolio piece
Bring one concrete example of a board or system you designed from scratch to your interviews. Walking through your schematic choices, layout tradeoffs, and test results demonstrates applied depth that a resume alone cannot communicate, and it anchors the technical discussion on your strongest work.
Negotiate around hardware lab access and tooling
Hardware roles vary widely in lab access, prototype budget, and equipment availability. During offer conversations, ask directly what your bench setup looks like and whether the team has in-house fabrication. These details affect your day-to-day productivity and are negotiable at the offer stage.
Hardware Systems Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most hardware systems engineers?
The companies hiring the most hardware systems engineers right now include Apple, Amazon, and AMD, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Defense contractors, semiconductor manufacturers, and consumer electronics firms consistently represent the highest volume of active postings.
How many hardware systems engineer jobs are remote?
About 55% of hardware systems engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than many software roles because hands-on lab work is a core part of the job. Systems architecture, documentation, and requirements work tend to be the sub-areas most compatible with remote arrangements.
How do you become a hardware systems engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related discipline. Build hands-on experience through coursework projects, internships, or personal builds that cover schematic design, PCB layout, and bring-up testing. Progress into systems roles by taking on cross-functional work that connects hardware design decisions to firmware, mechanical, and system-level requirements.
How do you get hired as a hardware systems engineer with little experience?
Focus on a concrete portfolio project, even a self-funded one, that demonstrates you can take a design from requirements through bring-up and test. Apply to associate or junior hardware engineer roles, which frequently develop into systems-level responsibilities. Certifications in FPGA development or relevant design tools can supplement a thinner work history when applying for entry-level openings.
What does the hardware systems engineer interview process look like?
Most processes start with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical phone or video interview covering digital design fundamentals, signal integrity, or systems tradeoffs. Later rounds typically include a design exercise or take-home problem and a panel interview with cross-functional team members. Some employers also include a lab practical or whiteboard schematic session to assess hands-on reasoning.
Where can I find and apply to hardware systems engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to hardware systems engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each listing. The search covers positions at defense contractors, semiconductor companies, consumer electronics firms, and automotive suppliers, all in one place.
