To support our existing customers and our ambitions for growth, we are looking for an Engineering Technician to join our team.
As an Engineering Technician you will provide hands-on, practical support across testing, prototyping, equipment and facilities, and documentation. You will set up and run tests, build and maintain test rigs and prototypes, keep our equipment and clean room in good order, and ensure activities are carried out in line with our quality management system and ISO 13485 – freeing up our engineers to focus on design and development.
Responsibilities
Testing and Verification Support
- Set up, run and monitor tests on devices, components and sub-assemblies, following defined test protocols and methods.
- Accurately record, log and report test results and data, escalating any anomalies or out-of-specification results to the engineering team.
- Build, set up, maintain and look after test rigs and test equipment so they are ready and reliable for use.
- Support the preparation and execution of design verification and validation (V&V) activities, including sample preparation and test readiness.
Equipment and Facilities Maintenance
- Carry out regular equipment and safety checks and routine planned maintenance to keep equipment safe and serviceable.
- Maintain calibration records and schedules, ensuring equipment is calibrated and within date, and coordinate external calibration where required.
- Coordinate equipment repairs and servicing with internal staff and external suppliers, keeping downtime to a minimum.
- Monitor and maintain the cleanroom and wider facilities, including environmental checks, housekeeping and reporting of any issues.
R&D build & prototyping support
- Assemble test rigs, prototypes and sub-assemblies to support design and development activities.
- Build, solder and rework printed circuit boards (PCBs) and carry out parts fabrication to support prototype and test builds.
Documentation & ISO 13485 compliance
- Carry out goods-in and goods-out activities and maintain accurate records in line with the company QMS procedures.
- Complete and maintain equipment maintenance, calibration and support documentation in line with the company QMS and ISO 13485.
