About The Position

The main function of a technician is to set up and execute feasibility studies, experiments, and tests - both creating and following established protocols - to develop findings for the validation and improvement of equipment and manufacturing processes/methods based on engineering principles; analyze results, make recommendations, and develop reports for Engineering review. Operate a variety of test equipment to assess characteristics of the manufacturing environment. This is a maintain-and-repair focused role, not a process engineering or continuous improvement position. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on technician who can personally diagnose and act at the equipment level. We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Support Engineering Technician to provide hands-on maintenance, repair, and recovery of manufacturing equipment in a medical device production environment. This is a contract position created to support weekend production line expansion, with strong potential for conversion to full-time employment based on performance.
