About The Position

The Engineering Technician II supports engineers and manufacturing personnel with product builds, inspections, equipment qualification, documentation, data collection, and initial troubleshooting. This position performs semi-standardized technical assignments that require sound judgment, attention to detail, and practical problem-solving skills. The technician will work both independently and under the direction of an engineer or supervisor. Responsibilities include building and inspecting small medical-device components under a microscope, operating vision and inspection systems, accurately recording data, supporting equipment and tooling qualifications, and assisting with manufacturing documentation. The successful candidate must be comfortable working in a cleanroom manufacturing environment, responding to changing priorities, and collaborating with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Production personnel. A proactive, flexible, and “can-do” attitude is essential.
