Responsibilities

The Division of Engineering at Mayo Clinic develops innovative devices for physicians and researchers, covering the spectrum from bench-top research to patient bedside. These devices include applications in deep brain stimulation, biosensor development, tissue engineering, organ assist devices, and surgical instruments. This position supports the mission to drive innovation and new product development, contributing to Mayo Clinic’s commitment to transforming healthcare and improving patient outcomes through cutting-edge solutions and emerging technologies.

The Microfabrication Laboratory within the Division of Engineering (DOE) at Mayo Clinic uses advanced microfabrication technologies to create customized medical devices. These devices provide physicians with innovative tools for research and patient care. Specializing in microscale devices such as thin film electrodes, microfluidic devices, and 3D printed microdevices, the laboratory supports a wide range of medical and research applications. By collaborating closely with Mayo Clinic researchers and clinicians, the laboratory advances healthcare technology through integrated design, fabrication, and testing. Utilizing both established and novel materials and processes, the Microfabrication Laboratory is dedicated to transforming healthcare by developing breakthrough technologies in a collaborative environment.

The Microfabrication Laboratory in Rochester, Minnesota seeks a highly qualified technician to assist with equipment installation, daily and periodic maintenance, and fabrication of medical microdevices. Project work is constantly changing depending on active projects and needs of the lab, providing exposure to a variety of device types, applications, and clinical problems. The successful candidate will work in a team environment, but with a degree of autonomy. Responsibilities include running fabrication processes required for projects, process development, and building prototypes.

The ideal candidate will follow chemical handling and disposal procedures and lab safety protocols. They will update documentation and procedures for equipment and processes, maintain lab supply inventory, and perform routine maintenance on microfabrication equipment.
