Eisenberg is most recognized for his recurring role as Nog, a Ferengi, through all seven seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Stephanie Marceau of Screen Rant listed her 10 best Nog episodes of DS9: "Empok Nor", "Valiant", "Progress", "The Visitor", "Badda-Bing Badda-Bang", "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River", "The Jem'Hadar", "The Magnificent Ferengi", "Heart of Stone", and "It's Only a Paper Moon".

Eisenberg also performed on stage in such productions as The Indian Wants the Bronx, On Borrowed Time and Minor Demons. He occasionally directed for the theater, as in the 1997 production of On Borrowed Time and the 1998 production of The Business of Murder at the Conejo Players Theater. His final performance was in 7 Days to Vegas (2019).
