You will troubleshoot the units to determine problems and make repairs to components and circuit boards. You will also test, validate, and in some cases, calibrate instruments to pre‑determined specifications. This work is somewhat routine but requires problem solving skills which may involve some detail and variation.

• Repair the problem(s) and correctly reassemble the instruments and/or components.
• Upload or install pre‑established standardized software and firmware. Complete minor set up of software/firmware in BIOS according to standard instructions. Perform simple software tests.
