Test Technician (Medical Device)

Test Technician (Medical Device)

About the Role
We are a growing medical device company seeking a detail-oriented, technically skilled Test Technician to support Design Verification Testing (DVT), incoming and in-process inspection, and final product testing across production and R&D operations.

This role is central to ensuring our devices meet strict performance and quality standards before release. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with complex test equipment, precision measurement tools, and detailed test protocols in a highly regulated environment. This is a hands-on technical role requiring strong documentation discipline, attention to detail, and the ability to troubleshoot and communicate issues clearly to engineering and quality teams.

We work with highly specialized components and test methods, so technical acumen and precision are essential.

Key Responsibilities
Execute Design Verification Testing (DVT) protocols on prototype and production devices per approved test procedures and engineering specifications
Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections on components, sub-assemblies, and finished devices using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and vision/microscope inspection systems, amongst other items
Set up, calibrate, and operate complex test equipment, including tensile testers, pressure/burst test stations, custom fixtures, etc.
Conduct functional and dimensional testing to verify conformance to drawings, specifications, and tolerances
Accurately record and document test results, inspection data, and non-conformances in compliance with Good Documentation Practices (GDP)
Complete and maintain Device History Records (DHR), test reports, and traceability documentation
Identify, document, and escalate test failures, anomalies, and nonconforming product; support root cause investigation with engineering
Support Material Review Board (MRB) activities and provide test data for disposition decisions
Work directly with R&D engineers during prototype builds and test cycles, providing hands-on feedback on device handling, fixture design, and test setup
Support root cause analysis by sharing hands-on observations from testing and assembly (e.g., handling feel, material inconsistencies, failure patterns) that may not show up in test data alone
Maintain calibration schedules, logs, and preventive maintenance for test and inspection equipment
Follow all applicable quality system requirements (ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820) and standard operating procedures
Support validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) and assist engineering with new test method development as needed
Maintain a clean, organized, and audit-ready test lab and work area

Qualifications
High school diploma required (Associate's degree in a technical field preferred)
1+ years of experience in a test, inspection, or quality role, preferably in medical device or another regulated manufacturing environment
Hands-on experience with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, microscopes)
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and test protocols
Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate documentation
Comfortable working with small, precision components under a microscope or magnification
Basic computer proficiency (Excel/Google Sheets, ERP or quality data systems)
Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Experience
Experience with DVT, V&V (Verification & Validation), or design testing in a medical device or biotech setting
Familiarity with catheter or minimally invasive device testing
Experience with Device History Records (DHR), non-conformance reporting, or MRB processes
Working knowledge of ISO 13485, FDA QSR, or GDP/GMP requirements
Experience with calibration tracking or equipment preventive maintenance
Hands-on experience assembling medical devices or components (e.g., catheters, stents, guidewires) in addition to testing them
Cleanroom or controlled environment experience is a plus
