Entry-Level CNC Field Service Engineer – Wisconsin
Latest Technology | Hands-On Training | Excellent Culture | Career Growth
Do you like figuring out how things work—and fixing them when they don’t?
Are you the person who enjoys working on cars, motorcycles, machinery, or other mechanical equipment? Maybe you’ve gone to school for automotive, diesel, industrial maintenance, machining, or a similar field. Or perhaps you’ve worked as a CNC operator and found yourself more interested in troubleshooting and maintaining the machine than simply operating it.
If that sounds like you, we’d like to talk.
You do not need to be an experienced CNC service technician to apply.
We’re looking for someone with mechanical aptitude, curiosity, a strong work ethic, and a desire to learn. We’ll help you develop the CNC knowledge and field-service skills.
Build a Career, Not Just Get a JobAs an Entry-Level CNC Field Service Engineer, you’ll work alongside experienced senior service engineers throughout Wisconsin, learning how to troubleshoot, repair, maintain, and install some of the most sophisticated CNC machine tools in manufacturing.
You’ll gain hands-on experience in areas such as:
- Mechanical troubleshooting and repair
- CNC machine operation and technology
- Electrical and electronic systems
- Preventive maintenance
- Machine installation and setup
- Diagnosing problems and finding solutions
- Working directly with customers
As your knowledge and experience grow, so will your ability to handle service calls independently.
This is an opportunity to develop a highly specialized technical skill set while building a long-term career in an industry that keeps American manufacturing moving.
We Set You Up for SuccessWe want our service engineers focused on learning, solving problems, and taking care of customers—not worrying about the tools they need to do their jobs.
We provide:
- Hands-on training alongside experienced senior engineers
- Car allowance
- Company-provided cell phone
- Company-provided laptop
- Fuel expenses covered
- Fast, hassle-free expense reimbursement
- Ongoing technical training and development
- Opportunities to grow as your technical skills develop
You’ll be exposed to different customers, machines, industries, and technical challenges. If sitting behind a desk doing the same thing every day doesn’t appeal to you, this could be a great fit.
What You'll Learn to DoWorking directly with our experienced service engineers, you’ll learn to:
- Troubleshoot and repair CNC machinery
- Perform preventive maintenance
- Assist with new machine installations
- Diagnose mechanical, electrical, and technical problems
- Work directly with customers to resolve equipment issues
- Provide basic customer training and technical support
- Maintain accurate customer and technical documentation
- Take ownership of service cases and projects
- Represent Ellison Technologies professionally and ethically
We’re less concerned about whether you already have CNC field-service experience and more interested in whether you have the aptitude and desire to learn it.
You may be a great fit if you have experience or education in:
- Automotive or diesel repair
- Industrial maintenance
- Mechatronics
- Manufacturing or machining
- CNC machine operation
- Electrical or mechanical technology
- Military mechanical or technical roles
- Equipment repair
- Or simply significant hands-on mechanical experience working on your own
Maybe you’re the person who has always worked on your own cars. Maybe you enjoy taking things apart to understand how they work. Maybe you're already operating CNC equipment and want to learn how to troubleshoot and repair it.
Those are the kinds of people we want to meet.
What You'll Need- Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
- A genuine desire to learn CNC technology
- Ability to communicate professionally with customers and coworkers
- Willingness to learn from experienced service engineers
- Ability to travel throughout Wisconsin for training and customer support
During your development, some weekday overnight travel will be necessary so you can work alongside senior service engineers in different parts of the state. This is generally not extended travel for weeks at a time, and weekend travel is not the expectation.
Benefits- Paid time off (PTO)
- Paid holidays
- Sick time
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Life insurance
Our mission is simple: Equip manufacturers to compete and win—both locally and globally.
We believe accomplishing that mission starts with developing our people. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, work with advanced manufacturing technology, and develop skills that can support a long-term technical career.

Service Engineer Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a service engineer in Wisconsin?
Most service engineer roles in Wisconsin require a bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or a closely related engineering field, though some employers accept an associate degree combined with substantial field experience. Wisconsin does not issue a state license specifically for service engineers, but roles involving electrical work may require a Wisconsin Journeyman or Master Electrician license through the Department of Safety and Professional Services. Employers in industrial sectors typically value certifications from equipment manufacturers or recognized trade organizations alongside your degree.
Which companies hire service engineers in Wisconsin?
Companies currently hiring service engineers in Wisconsin include Abbott, Brady Corporation, and Ingeteam, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Wisconsin's concentration of industrial manufacturing, automation, and food production firms means ongoing demand from both large multinationals with Wisconsin facilities and regional equipment service providers.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most service engineer jobs?
Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay consistently post the highest number of service engineer openings in Wisconsin. Milwaukee leads because of its dense concentration of industrial manufacturers and automation companies like Rockwell Automation, while Madison's mix of research institutions and technology firms and Green Bay's large food processing and paper industry operations sustain steady hiring in those markets.
Are there remote service engineer jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're rare. Service engineering is fundamentally a hands-on, on-site role requiring direct access to equipment, so most Wisconsin positions involve regular travel to customer or plant locations. About 55% of service engineer openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in technical support, documentation, or project coordination functions rather than fieldwork.
How can I get hired as a service engineer in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to field service technician or associate service engineer roles at Wisconsin's large industrial employers, which often recruit new graduates and provide structured on-the-job training. Companies like Rockwell Automation and Johnson Controls run formal development programs that move candidates from technician-level work into full service engineering roles. Lateral moves from adjacent positions such as maintenance technician, quality assurance, or instrumentation tech are common. Earning a manufacturer-specific certification or completing a two-year technical program at a Wisconsin technical college strengthens an entry-level application.
Where can I find and apply to service engineer jobs in Wisconsin?
You can find and apply to service engineer jobs in Wisconsin on Migrate Mate, which lists current Wisconsin openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
