Manufacturing Engineering Technician III – Medical Devices 

Help bring a life-saving medical device from engineering into production.

BiVACOR is developing a Total Artificial Heart - a breakthrough Class III medical device designed to support patients with advanced heart failure. The team at WorkTrybe are helping BiVACOR find a Manufacturing Engineering Technician III to join their Huntington Beach team and support the transition from development into scaled, compliant manufacturing.

This is a hands-on technician role, not a production operator position. You’ll work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Quality, and Operations to help turn complex designs into reliable, repeatable manufacturing processes in a highly regulated environment. This could be a great opportunity for a Junior Engineer to learn, develop and work alongside incredible engineering professionals.

What you’ll be doing

• Set up, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot manufacturing and test equipment
• Support equipment and process validations, including IQ, OQ, and PQ
• Perform routine equipment maintenance and calibration to ensure reliability and uptime
• Build and test medical devices in compliance with work instructions and environmental controls
• Develop and support assembly and test fixtures
• Inspect supplier components and finished devices against quality documentation
• Troubleshoot product and process issues and contribute to root cause investigations
• Support process improvements alongside manufacturing and quality engineers
• Assist with creation and maintenance of work instructions, drawings, and manufacturing documentation
• Maintain accurate records to support FDA, ISO 13485, and GMP compliance
• Provide technical support and training to operators on equipment and processes

What we’re looking for

• Associate degree or certification in Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 3+ years’ experience in manufacturing, assembly, or production — within medical devices, aerospace, or other heavily regulated manufacturing environments
• Or if you are a Junior Engineer within manufacturing this is also a great opportunity to start in a Technician role and work your way up!
• Strong hands-on experience with equipment setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting
• Someone who is eager to learn and develop - there are so many growth opportunities in this start-up 
• Experience working in FDA / ISO-regulated manufacturing environments
• Comfortable working independently with a quality-first mindset
• Strong attention to detail and documentation

Why BiVACOR?

• Work on a life-sustaining Class III medical device
• Hands-on role with real impact on patient outcomes
• Close collaboration with engineering, quality, and operations teams
• Onsite role in Huntington Beach, CA
• Competitive hourly rate with benefits
• Be part of a mission-driven team changing the future of cardiac care

Bring your technical expertise to a purpose driven organization and be part of changing lives for the better. Apply now!
