Position description

A Biomedical Equipment Specialist 2 repairs, calibrates, maintains and performs preventative maintenance and makes purchasing recommendations on medical equipment used at Mayo Clinic Rochester and Mayo Clinic Health Systems. Biomedical technicians are assigned to a work unit that specializes in maintaining specific modalities of biomedical equipment used in both clinical and research areas. Due to the amount of specialized equipment in this area, each technician must ultimately provide both primary and cross-functional service expertise and back up responsibility on multiple types of biomedical equipment.

Specialized knowledge obtained through on-the-job and manufacturer’s training is required to maintain nearly all of the equipment assigned to this specialty. The individual must be committed to continuously improving their knowledge and abilities in order to become and remain proficient. Individual must be highly organized, efficient, and multifunctional with the ability to work independently or in a team environment.
