Probe Lab Engineer

 
As a Probe Lab Engineer, you’ll combine hands-on ultrasound probe repair with process development, SOP updates and the coaching of other engineers. Working to ISO 13485 requirements, you’ll help ensure repair methods are technically sound, clearly documented and consistently applied across the lab.
 
If you enjoy solving technical problems and sharing your expertise, this is an opportunity to take ownership of both your work and the development of the team’s repair capability.
 
 
Who’s it for and what’s in it for you?
Our client is a specialist healthcare technology business supporting hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers with diagnostic imaging equipment. They provide independent servicing, repairs, maintenance, rental and equipment sales, helping healthcare teams reduce downtime, improve efficiency and maintain high standards of patient care.

Combining technical expertise with innovative digital tools, this is a forward-thinking business operating in a sector where the work has real impact. 
 
 
What will your day to day look like?
You’ll carry out ultrasound probe repair and testing while developing the procedures, documentation and team knowledge needed to deliver consistent, high-quality repairs.

You will also be:

• Diagnosing faults and repairing ultrasound probes following appropriate training and authorisation.
• Working within an ISO 13485 quality management system, following approved procedures and maintaining traceable repair and test records.
• Reviewing and updating standard operating procedures (SOPs) through the agreed document control and approval process.
• Coaching and training other engineers on repair procedures, helping them understand and adopt new or updated processes.
• Carrying out testing against defined acceptance criteria and investigating repair failures, material behaviour and process variation.
• Supporting the development of new repair techniques through practical trials and controlled experimentation.
• Turning technical findings into clear, repeatable and documented repair methods.
• Supporting validation and verification activities for new or improved processes.
• Working with technical and quality colleagues to address issues and improve consistency across the lab.
• Using tools and test equipment safely, accurately and in line with approved methods.

This role will suit you if you…

• Have an HNC, HND or degree in engineering, manufacturing, materials, electronics, biomedical science, medical technology or a related discipline.
• Bring a strong technical background in repair, testing, manufacturing, maintenance or process development.
• Have experience working within an ISO 13485 quality management system and understand how its requirements apply to your day-to-day work.
• Are comfortable following, reviewing and updating SOPs, with an understanding of document control and traceability.
• Can coach and train other engineers, explaining technical procedures clearly and supporting consistent process adoption.
• Take a structured approach to fault diagnosis and can use evidence to identify causes and recommend improvements.
• Combine good manual dexterity with attention to detail and accurate technical record-keeping.
• Can work independently, recognise when to seek guidance and collaborate effectively with technical and quality teams.
• Take ownership of the quality of your work and look for practical ways to improve repair processes.
