Manufacturing Engineering Technician 1

Manufacturing Engineering Technician 1

At our Salt Lake City site, engineering, research, and manufacturing teams come together to design and build surgical imaging technologies — including advanced C-arm imaging systems that support image-guided procedures for clinicians across the globe. The work here contributes to the precision and capability clinicians bring into the OR every day. The Manufacturing Engineering Technician 1 supports manufacturing operations by partnering with engineers and production teams to keep the manufacturing floor running efficiently. This hands-on role troubleshoots equipment and process issues, supports assembly and test operations, collects and analyzes production data, and helps implement process improvements for advanced medical imaging systems. The position also plays a key role in maintaining manufacturing documentation, supporting new product introductions, and ensuring products are built to quality and regulatory standards.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Assist manufacturing engineers in the design, development, and improvement of production processes, fixtures, and tooling.
• Perform basic troubleshooting of manufacturing equipment and processes, escalating complex issues to higher-level technicians or engineers.
• Collect and analyze production data to identify areas for improvement and support process optimization initiatives.
• Assist in the creation and maintenance of manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process flow diagrams.
• Conduct time studies and participate in lean manufacturing activities to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
• Support the implementation and validation of new products and processes on the production floor.
• Perform routine maintenance and calibration of manufacturing equipment as directed.
• Adhere to all safety guidelines and quality standards (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA regulations).
• Collaborate with production personnel to resolve manufacturing issues and ensure smooth operations.
• Participate in root cause analysis for production defects and non-conformances.

Required Qualifications

• Associate's degree in a technical field (e.g., Manufacturing Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology) or High School diploma and minimum of 2 years experience in a similar role in a manufacturing environment.
• Basic understanding of manufacturing processes and equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and blueprints.
• Proficiency with basic hand tools and measurement equipment (e.g., calipers, micrometers).
• Basic computer skills, including familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel).
• Physical ability to lift up to 25 pounds and stand for extended periods.

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably in a medical device or electronics industry.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow precise instructions.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
