Test Technician

The Test Technician manufactures, aligns, tests, and ensures the quality of system-critical mechanical subassemblies, with a primary focus on complex electro-mechanical optical modules and system-level assemblies that support manufacturing operations.

• Assemble, test, and troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical and optical modules to meet performance and quality standards.
• Assemble and test a variety of optical subassemblies that require precise, small manual adjustments performed under a microscope.
• Utilize a wide range of test and measurement equipment to inspect and troubleshoot optical components and assemblies.
• Follow detailed assembly sequences and procedures to build system-critical subassemblies accurately and consistently.
• Read and interpret technical documents such as drawings, operating instructions, maintenance instructions, and work instructions or procedures.
• Apply basic deductive analysis skills to identify root causes of issues in assemblies and test processes.
• Use logic and reasoning to assess problems and work effectively toward timely resolution.
• Document test results, findings, and any troubleshooting steps taken in accordance with established procedures.
• Collaborate with other technicians and engineering personnel to support continuous improvement of assembly and test processes.
• Adhere to all quality, safety, and documentation requirements throughout the manufacturing and test activities.

• Hands-on experience assembling and testing complex electro-mechanical and optical modules.
• Ability to perform small, precise manual adjustments under a microscope for optical subassemblies.
• Working knowledge of general electronic test equipment, including power supplies, power meters, digital multimeters, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Experience using test and measurement equipment to inspect and troubleshoot optical components and assemblies.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and follow detailed written procedures.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to use logic and reasoning to assess issues and drive resolution.
• Basic deductive analysis skills to identify and isolate faults in assemblies or test setups.
• Proficiency with personal computer applications and general PC literacy.
• Ability to read and interpret technical documents, including drawings, operating instructions, maintenance instructions, and work instructions or procedures.
• Attention to detail and a strong focus on quality and repeatability in assembly and test work.

• Experience working with optical components and optical subassemblies in a manufacturing or test environment.
• Familiarity with computer-directed assembly systems or guided assembly tools.
• Comfort working in highly controlled, process-driven environments that emphasize traceability and zero-defect performance.
• Ability to work effectively within structured workflows that break complex assemblies into many individual steps.

You will help build components used in advanced medical device products, contributing directly to technologies that improve lives. The role offers a long-term, stable opportunity in a highly specialized environment that values precision, traceability, and zero-defect performance. You will deepen your troubleshooting experience across analog and digital circuit-based systems while working with sophisticated tools and processes. The organization emphasizes structured training, clear procedures, and continuous engagement of technicians through interactive, technology-driven workflows.

The work environment is a unique, technology-driven manufacturing setting that differs from typical production facilities. Assembly work uses a computer-directed system called vPoke, which provides step-by-step sequences, images of parts, tools, and completed examples, and uses custom part trays arranged in exact build order. No tray slot is left empty, ensuring all required parts are present at the start of each build. Operators complete each step under computer guidance; vPoke validates the work, captures visual images, and automatically stores information electronically for device history records. The system allows progression only when the current sequence is successfully completed and audibly confirmed, engaging multiple senses of sight, sound, and touch to improve concentration and involvement. vPoke simplifies complex assemblies into hundreds of controlled steps, enforces conformance to established criteria and sequences, and documents all work securely for future reference. The process is precisely repeatable and scalable for both volume and product complexity, and can operate as an inline process, a single workstation, or an in-place system fed by subsystems. Technicians receive training and certification by sequence, with tightly controlled access to builds. The overall environment emphasizes 100% traceability, zero-defect goals, and consistent, high-quality assembly of complex medical device and life science products.
