There are tech jobs, inc. some of the highest tech in astronomy, geology atmospheric science, & one of the most powerful super computers in the world.
It may not be EASY to get a job, esp with the desire to move away in a couple of years or so, as there are a limited amount, but for a county with the population size & remoteness that Hawaii Island has, we actually have a fairly high # of high tech positions.... but if you have a good-great job here, and like living here.... TURNOVER is not as high - in most places with high tech, 2-5 year turnover is more of a norm....
Places to check: RCUH, NEHLA (there may be some flux here, as it seems many of the long term tenants may not renew), PGV, PISCES, HICH, NOAA, IFA....
Mech E - depends on his interests, but we know of people employed in construction, process, & systems positions (even check with Princess, MacFarm & Mauna Loa...)
add business, & there are more....
As you know, the main thing here is to get the word out; meet & greet.... It is more in who you know, but there ARE positions, & with TMT & some of the construction projects there will be more...
