Biomedical Electrical Technician III
About The Position
Performs routine, complex, and specialized tasks involved in the installation, maintenance, servicing, modification, troubleshooting, and calibration of complex therapeutic, diagnostic, and life support biomedical instrumentation. This role involves assembling, installing, and maintaining mechanical, pneumatic, electrical, and basic electronic devices. The technician will perform routine electrical, safety, calibration, and functional tests on biomedical instrumentation using various test equipment. A key aspect of the role is supporting a systematic preventive maintenance program and documenting all maintenance requests, actions, special initiatives, and testing procedures in the Clinical Engineering CMMS. The technician will collaborate with Clinical Engineers on testing procedures for new instrumentation, diagnose and correct system malfunctions, and provide technical assistance and instruction to personnel on equipment operation and setup. Additionally, the role includes mentoring other technicians, potentially leading short-term projects, and working with clinical staff to implement equipment decisions. The technician will also improve or create special test setups, execute specific testing for safety incident investigations, and respond to incidents/complaints. A working knowledge of the clinical application of medical technologies and devices, along with the ability to interpret schematics and technical drawings, is essential. The position requires strong communication and customer service skills, and the willingness to serve on-call duty.
