About the program

Are you inspired by the idea of supporting our nation's critical infrastructure and securing communications for first responders, utilities, and transportation? Are you an independent, self-motivated individual contributor also capable of rolling up your sleeves and supporting your teammates when unexpected challenges arise? Does the idea of joining a rapidly growing, privately backed business benefitting from major strategic tailwinds in a critical space appeal to you? Eastern Communications is a mission critical technology provider focused on delivering products and services to end users who cannot rely on commercial telecommunications infrastructure for their needs. Whether it be utilities workers atop a power line during a flood or a firefighter rushing into a burning building, millions of end users rely the type of RF engineered networks, devices, and back end systems and infrastructure to operate under pressure with full reliability.

Jobs this program prepares you for

Eastern has successfully hired from the SkillBridge internship program. Successful candidates will likely be a fit for our application engineering, RF field technician, or general management rotation programs.

Eligibility & prerequisites

No prerequisite eligibility requirements

A rapidly growing, privately backed business with a nationwide presence, Eastern has the benefit of providing big business stability in a small business environment - and our employees value this. There are a number of veterans in our ranks, and while we are always looking for great players, we are in particular focused on identifying either junior officers (all branches/MOS considered - particularly with an eye towards engineering and management roles) or enlisted personnel with an emphasis on either radio frequency communications or technical equipment repair (e.g. USN - Submarine Nav ET, USN - Surface ET w/ communications experience, USMC 28XX, USMC 2651, etc) with an eye towards field technician roles. We feel very comfortable cross training A-players into our program and skillsets. Eastern has had great success with the SkillBridge program, and would be happy to provide references for folks who have joined our team from the program.
