Job Description
As a Mechanical Technician, you will play a key hands-on role in the development of medical products for image-guided surgery. Working closely with Mechanical Engineers, primarily in a laboratory environment, you will independently build, assemble, troubleshoot, test, evaluate, repair, and maintain complex mechanical and electromechanical systems, prototypes, machines, and test setups. This role supports mechanical product development from early prototype builds through verification, validation, and production readiness. Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned: Perform hands-on assembly, build, troubleshooting, and evaluation of complex mechanical and electromechanical systems. Work directly on large capital equipment, prototype hardware, machines, production-level hardware, and test setups. Support system bring-up, debugging, testing, validation, and verification activities in accordance with applicable Quality System requirements. Inspect mechanical parts and assemblies, interpret engineering drawings, and apply GD&T and tolerance principles during assembly and troubleshooting. Troubleshoot system-level mechanical and electromechanical issues and perform failure analysis to identify root causes and support corrective actions. Perform repair, preventive maintenance, refurbishment, and modification of existing machines and equipment to ensure safe and reliable operation. Maintain accurate documentation of equipment configurations, issues, changes, repairs, maintenance activities, and test results. Create and update work instructions, bills of materials, qualification reports, ECO-related documentation, and FMEA inputs. Fabricate or modify simple parts, fixtures, and test setups as needed to support engineering development activities. Work independently while collaborating closely with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Service, Test, and other cross-functional teams.
