Process Development Technician | Contract-to-Hire | Medical Device Manufacturing

Overview

A growing medical device manufacturer specializing in catheter-based products is looking for a Process Development Technician to join their team on a 6-month contract-to-hire basis. This is a hands-on, floor-based role supporting the process development engineering team across multiple active projects. The right person will help free up engineering bandwidth by owning key day-to-day technical activities — this is not a builder role, and prior experience beyond assembly is essential.

What You Will Be Doing

• Collecting data and running test parts in support of ongoing development projects
• Performing pull tests, part measurements, and floor-level qualification activities — understanding not just how to run tests, but why
• Attending project meetings with engineers to assess workload and contribute across multiple projects simultaneously
• Supporting and managing builds on the floor, working alongside operators
• Equipment management and calibrations
• Drafting and updating manufacturing documentation, including change order activities and travelers — GDP compliance and accuracy are critical in this environment
• Working in both cleanroom and general manufacturing environments, adhering to all applicable protocols

What They Are Looking For

• Hands-on experience in medical device or catheter manufacturing — familiarity with reflowing catheter components is a strong plus
• Cleanroom experience with a solid understanding of what is and is not permissible in that environment
• Mechanical aptitude with experience running tests and maintaining equipment
• An intuitive troubleshooting mindset — someone who asks the right questions to fully understand the process and expected output
• Basic computer skills including spreadsheet use for data collection
• Strong GDP awareness and an understanding of why documentation accuracy matters, not just compliance for its own sake
• Good communication skills and the ability to work flexibly across multiple projects
• CDMO or OEM backgrounds are welcome

Experience

• 3–7 years of relevant industry experience
• Open to candidates with less experience where aptitude, mechanical instinct, and the right train of thought are evident
• High school diploma or GED required; 2-year degree or vocational/apprenticeship training preferred
