Eisenberg is most known for his recurring role as the Ferengi character Nog through all seven seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, from 1993 to 1999.

Meanwhile he guest-starred as a young Kazon warrior in "Initiations", an episode of Star Trek: Voyager. He was later a host and producer of the Star Trek themed podcast The 7th Rule, with fellow Deep Space Nine actor Cirroc Lofton. Stephanie Marceau of Screen Rant listed her 10 favorite episodes featuring the character: "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 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). Eisenberg contributed to two books in the Dragonlance shared universe. He was credited as the originator of the Players of Gilean, an immortal troupe of actors in the fantasy world. Eisenberg's work was published in The Best of Tales, volume 1, written in collaboration with Margaret Weis, and The Players of Gilean, written in collaboration with Jean Rabe.

Tribute
In the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Die Trying" that aired November 12, 2020, Eisenberg was honored by a flyby of an Eisenberg-class ship named the USS Nog.

On May 4, 2026, the main belt asteroid was named (666312) Aroneisenberg in his honor. The naming citation commemorates Eisenberg's depiction of Nog, stating that he turned the character from a minor role into a fan favorite, as well as his later work as a podcaster.
