Department:  AT Analytical

About the Role

AT Analytical, an SSA company, is hiring a Repair/Certification Technician to test, certify, calibrate, and maintain the controlled environments and critical equipment that keep science and patient care running. You will be the trusted expert who walks into a pharmaceutical cleanroom, a research lab, or a hospital and certifies that it is safe to do the work. This is hands-on, customer-facing field service in a highly regulated industry where precision and reliability are everything — and where the technician who shows up is the last line of defense between our customers and a failed audit, a contaminated batch, or downed equipment.

What You'll Do

• Perform testing, certification, calibration, repair, and preventive maintenance on biosafety cabinets (BSCs), cleanrooms, autoclaves/sterilizers, fume hoods, and related laboratory equipment.
• Troubleshoot and diagnose mechanical and electrical systems in the field, using multimeters, hand tools, diagnostic instruments, and electrical schematics.
• Represent AT Analytical professionally on-site at pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare, laboratory, and research customers.
• Complete accurate, on-time service reports and certification documentation in line with regulatory and company standards.
• Identify additional customer needs and service opportunities, contributing to revenue growth through exceptional service.
• Work toward and maintain required technical certifications, including BSC certification (NSF 49), cleanroom testing, and autoclave preventive maintenance.
• Operate safely and independently while managing a travel-based schedule across the Midwest region.

Success in the First 12 Months

An A-player in this seat will:

• Complete all required technical certifications and qualifications within 12 months, including BSC certification, cleanroom testing, and autoclave preventive maintenance.
• Maintain customer satisfaction scores above company standards while representing AT Analytical professionally on every call.
• Submit accurate, on-time service reports with less than 5% documentation corrections required.
• Work independently and reliably in the field, building lasting trust with customers across the territory.
• Contribute to revenue growth by delivering exceptional service and surfacing additional customer needs.

What You Bring

• Experience: 2+ years (5+ ideal) in field service, biomedical, calibration, or industrial equipment service.
• Strong mechanical aptitude  and proven troubleshooting skills on mechanical and electrical systems.
• Comfort working independently  in a field service environment with up to 75% overnight travel.
• Ability to read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams  and use multimeters, hand tools, and diagnostic equipment.
• Physical capability  to lift 50+ pounds and work in mechanical spaces.
• Professionalism and customer focus — strong communication skills and a service-first mindset.
• A valid driver's license  and willingness to travel throughout the Midwest.

• Biomedical Equipment Technician, Medical Equipment Technician
