Senior Manufacturing Engineering Technician - 3rd Shift

At IDEXX, our purpose is to enhance the health and well-being of pets, people, and livestock. We develop diagnostics, software, and services that help veterinarians around the world detect illness earlier, make confident decisions, and give pets longer, healthier lives. Every instrument, test, and consumable we build ends up in a clinic where a pet is waiting for answers, and the people who keep our manufacturing lines running are a big part of that.

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you'll support advanced industrial manufacturing operations on our 3rd shift in Roswell, GA. You'll work in a clean, climate-controlled medical device manufacturing environment, and the role centers on industrial maintenance, electro-mechanical maintenance, and overall manufacturing maintenance.

Our Roswell site is home to OPTI Medical, an IDEXX company that designs and manufactures point-of-care blood gas and electrolyte analyzers and related consumables for human healthcare. The site also produces electrolyte slides and other consumables that power IDEXX veterinary analyzers, including the Catalyst One® and Catalyst Dx® chemistry analyzers. The equipment you maintain will directly support life-saving diagnostics for both people and pets.

The Manufacturing Engineering and Maintenance team supports the reliability, performance, and continuous improvement of critical manufacturing equipment that enables IDEXX to deliver high-quality products to customers around the world. Unlike traditional industrial settings, this is a clean, dry, boiler-free facility where you'll have your own IDEXX toolbox, assigned desk, computer, and cellphone to support your day-to-day work.

Shift Information: 3rd Shift, Monday–Friday, 9:30 pm to 6:00 am.
