Maintainability Engineer

You’ve discovered something special. A company that cares. Cares about leading the way in construction, engineering, manufacturing and renewable energy. Cares about redefining how energy is designed, applied and consumed. Cares about thoughtfully growing to meet market demands. And ─ as “one of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America” ─ is focused on the mind/body/soul of team members through our Culture of Care.

Maintainability Engineer is responsible for developing detailed Maintenance Task Analyses (MTA), troubleshooting procedures, and fault isolation logic to ensure field maintainability, technical accuracy, and supportability of complex electrical and mechanical systems. This role translates high-level support strategies (RCM, FMECA, LORA) into actionable maintenance workflows, supporting technical publications, training, provisioning, and field repair execution.

This engineer interfaces closely with manufacturing, quality, warranty, and field service teams to capture real-world maintenance feedback and ensure that service procedures are safe, executable, and optimized for operational environments. A strong understanding of assembly processes, failure diagnostics, and hands-on repair practices—particularly electrical troubleshooting—is critical to success in this role.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Education: 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field. Equivalent military or industry technical training or field service experience may also be considered.

Experience: 

• Familiarity with maintenance engineering, technical support, manufacturing engineering, or field service for electromechanical systems, 3 years of engineering experience preferred.
• Hands-on troubleshooting and system-level diagnostic experience preferred.
• Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and schematics.
• Familiarity with MTA principles per MIL-STD-1388, MIL-STD-3034, or DEF-STAN 00-60.
• Experience with fault tree analysis (FTA), logic diagrams, and root cause isolation techniques.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing and maintenance processes, particularly for electrical systems, harnessing, and electromechanical assemblies.
• Prior experience validating service procedures or troubleshooting guides is a plus.
• Practical hands-on background in electrical diagnostics, such as industrial automation or field service.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across engineering, service, and operations teams.
• Experience in defense, industrial energy, or mission-critical systems environments is highly desirable.
• Experience with telematics data capture and processing.
• Background in defense, energy, or industrial sectors with complex systems.

Travel: up to 10% depending on business needs

Work Schedule: Typical work hours are between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday – Friday. Works a sufficient schedule to meet the expectations of the role.

Work Location: This position is hybrid and located in Appleton, WI.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and maintain detailed Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) packages to define step-by-step service procedures, tools, personnel skill levels, and durations.
• Create and validate troubleshooting logic and fault isolation trees for integration into diagnostics, manuals, and digital technical support tools.
• Translate engineering designs and support strategies into actionable field maintenance content.
• Collaborate with field service, warranty, and manufacturing teams to collect and incorporate feedback on real-world repair challenges, maintainability, and recurring failures.
• Perform hands-on evaluation of maintenance tasks during pilot builds or field trials to verify procedural accuracy, access, tool compatibility, and safety.
• Support creation of Illustrated Parts Books, Operator, Troubleshooting and Maintenance work packages, and Service Bills of Materials (sBOM) aligned with MTA outputs.
• Coordinate with Technical Publications and Training teams to ensure MTA outputs are reflected in manuals, job aids, and service curriculum.
• Participate in sustainment readiness reviews and maintenance concept validations as needed.
• Assist in establishing maintainability metrics and participate in failure investigations.
• Identify special tools and test equipment required for diagnostics, calibration, or field repair, and ensure their compatibility with service environments.
• Support integration of troubleshooting logic into Technical Manuals (TMs) or software diagnostic environments.
• Performs other related duties as assigned.
