Catheter Technician

BIOTRONIK is one of the leading manufacturers of cardio and endovascular implants and catheters for cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology and vascular intervention. As a globally active company headquartered in Berlin, Germany, we develop, produce and distribute high-quality medical products based on the latest technology and research. Our success is based on the competence and results-oriented cooperation of our employees.

California Research Center Electrophysiology, Inc (CRC EP, Inc.), a Biotronik business unit located in Tustin, CA, develops pulsed-field cardiac ablation (PFA) technologies. The team has recently completed the First-in-Human clinical trial which validated the company’s PFA technology for treatment of atrial fibrillation. The team is embarking on preparing the technology for regulatory approvals followed by commercial release in respective territories. We are continually looking for talented engineers, scientists, and professionals to share in our mission.

We are expanding our innovative team with the addition of a Catheter Technician. The primary function of this position is responsible for producing medical catheters through precision assembly and quality control processes. This role is critical in ensuring that catheters meet strict medical device standards for safety, performance, and regulatory compliance. In this role, you will support product development and manufacturing efforts for cardiac catheter assembly.

Working from schematics, engineering drawings, and written or verbal instructions, you will assemble cardiac catheters and utilize specialized tools such as microscopes, soldering irons, digital multimeters, calipers, and other precision instruments. You will also conduct functional tests, document results, and maintain high standards in the catheter lab. standards.
