  • Tissue processors

  • Embedding centers

  • Microtomes

  • Cryostats

  • Stainers and coverslippers

  • Pathology imaging platforms (e.g., digital slide scanners)

• Preventive Maintenance: Conduct scheduled maintenance to minimize downtime, extend instrument life, and keep labs inspection-ready.

• Customer Support: Work directly with biomedical and pathology departments to resolve service issues quickly, train staff on safe use, and provide technical guidance.

• Compliance & Documentation: Maintain detailed service records in Cenmed’s EMMS (Enterprise Maintenance Management System) and ensure alignment with CAP/CLIA guidelines and hospital standards.

• Leadership Growth: Collaborate with management to create SOPs, mentor junior staff, and prepare to lead a growing team of service technicians.

What We’re Looking For

• Required:

  • Associate degree in Biomedical Engineering, Medical Laboratory Technology, Electronics, or equivalent training (including military service experience).

  • 3+ years of hands-on service experience with clinical lab instruments; histology/pathology equipment strongly preferred.

  • Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills.

  • Familiarity with hospital lab environments and safety/compliance standards.

  • Excellent communication and customer service skills.

  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel locally.

• Preferred:

  • OEM training/certifications on pathology/histology systems (Leica, Thermo Fisher, Sakura, Ventana/Roche).

  • Experience with CMMS/EMMS platforms.

  • Prior mentoring or team lead experience.
