Senior Tester

Johnson & Johnson Med Tech, a member of Johnson & Johnson's Family of Companies, is currently recruiting for a Manufacturing Technician III to join the dynamic Ottava production team.

Manufacturing Technician III is responsible for performing electro‑mechanical assembly of robotic modules and components, supporting production schedules, and maintaining compliance with medical device regulations. This role reports into the Surgical Robotics (OTTAVA™) Manufacturing organization.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced individual who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and is comfortable working independently while supporting manufacturing and engineering needs. This position offers hands‑on experience with innovative technology and opportunities for long‑term career development.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform advanced electro‑mechanical assembly and system‑level integration of robotic system modules including joints, control modules, sensors, and cable harnesses using detailed work instructions, and engineering documentation.
• Lead complex assembly and testing activities across multiple robotic modules with minimal supervision.
• Operate within a structured production environment to meet build throughput and schedule commitments while maintaining compliance with ISO 13485, FDA QSR, GDP, and GMP requirements
• Interpret and apply assembly procedures, MPIs, TPIs, and engineering documents to correctly build, verify, and validate mechanical and electromechanical components across multiple product modules.
• Conduct functional, basic electrical, mechanical, and diagnostic testing using calibrated equipment, torque tools, multimeters, and approved software‑based test procedures.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and rework complex electrical and mechanical issues including alignment, sensor faults and calibration mismatches and elevate systemic issues to engineering.
• Maintain compliance with ESD controls, clean manufacturing practices, hazardous waste handling, and safety standards; promptly address safety concerns and support risk‑mitigation activities.
• Accurately document production activities, inspection results, rework actions, and test outcomes in MES, ERP/SAP, and electronic DHR systems following GDP and GMP standards.
• Perform in‑process inspections and contribute to quality verifications to ensure adherence to workmanship and regulatory standards.
• Actively participate in quality improvement initiatives by identifying issues, supporting engineering in investigations, corrective and preventive action implementation.
• Collaborate closely with Manufacturing leadership, NPI engineering, Quality, and Operations teams to resolve manufacturing challenges and support successful pilot builds and product introductions as well as identifying improvement opportunities.
• Support validation and calibration activities for assemblies, fixtures, and test systems as defined by engineering and quality requirements.
• Provide clear, actionable feedback to Engineering to improve MWIs/MPIs/TPIs and manufacturability.
• Support training, knowledge‑sharing, and on‑the‑job guidance for Manufacturing Technician I and II team members, including assistance with complex assemblies and/or troubleshooting tasks.
• Maintain certification and demonstrate multi‑module proficiency across at least five major robotic system modules while upholding all safety, quality, and compliance requirements.
• Prepare production lines by performing line clearance, verifying equipment maintenance and calibration status, and ensuring material readiness—which includes accurate material transactions, cycle counts of raw materials, sub‑assemblies, and WIP, as well as proactively identifying and reporting shortages or discrepancies to prevent build…
