Biomedical Technician Jobs in Athens, GA

A Biomedical Technician, also known as a Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET), plays a critical role in the biotechnology industry by maintaining, repairing, and calibrating the machinery and equipment used in healthcare facilities. In this role, technicians troubleshoot equipment issues, perform preventative maintenance, and ensure that machines are properly calibrated for accurate test results. Primarily, they work on complex devices like defibrillators, heart monitors, medical imaging equipment (MRI and X-ray machines), voice-controlled operating tables, and electric wheelchairs.

Biomedical Technicians should possess a deep understanding of electronics and computer systems, as well as strong problem-solving skills. They should be able to read and understand technical manuals, work under pressure, and communicate effectively with healthcare personnel. A degree in biomedical technology or engineering is typically required, along with certifications like the Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician (CBET) or Certified Laboratory Equipment Specialist (CLES). Prior to becoming a Biomedical Technician, individuals often gain experience in roles such as a Biomedical Equipment Support Specialist, Medical Equipment Repairer, or Biomedical Engineer.
