About this Electronics Technician (RF Technician) | RACOM Corporation role at Eastern Communications

Eastern Communications · Onsite · Eau Claire, WI
Are you inspired by the idea of supporting our nation’s critical infrastructure and securing communications for first responders, utilities, and transportation?

RACOM has earned its exceptional reputation for delivering the highest quality products and services over its 40+ year history. In February 2023, Eastern Communications acquired RACOM corporation, and now comprises 250 employees across 17 locations nationwide.
