Biomedical Equipment Technician

Biotechnology companies and research labs often stay active around the clock, and the specialized equipment they use must be repaired and maintained in first-class condition. The up-keep and repair of this equipment requires highly skilled technicians, professionals dedicated to precise work.

A Biomedical Equipment Technician is responsible for performing maintenance, testing, troubleshooting, calibration, and repair on a variety of circuits, components, analytical equipment, and instrumentation. He or she also calibrates instrumentation, performs validation studies, and specifies and requests purchase of components. 

The Biomedical Equipment Technician analyzes results, may develop test specifications and electrical schematics, and maintains logs and required documentation. An Instrument/Calibration Technician also maintains spare parts inventories and may prepare technical reports with recommendations for solutions to technical problems.
