Role Overview
You bring a methodical approach to technical work, with the confidence to investigate faults, improve repair processes, and help others follow them consistently. You’re comfortable working within a quality management system and understand that clear procedures and accurate documentation are essential to delivering reliable results.
As a Probe Lab Engineer, you’ll combine hands-on ultrasound probe repair with process development, SOP updates, and the coaching of other engineers. Working to ISO 13485 requirements, you’ll help ensure repair methods are technically sound, clearly documented, and consistently applied across the lab.
If you enjoy solving technical problems and sharing your expertise, this is an opportunity to take ownership of both your work and the development of the team’s repair capability.
