Device Tech II

Overview

At HighRes, we design and build automation technologies that empower scientists to accelerate discovery, solve complex biological challenges, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in modern research. As a Device Technician II, you play a direct and essential part in that mission. Every device you assemble, calibrate, and validate becomes a critical component in the systems our customers rely on to drive scientific breakthroughs.

The Device Technician II is someone who thrives on hands‑on precision work, enjoys solving technical challenges, and takes pride in building equipment that must perform flawlessly in high‑stakes laboratory environments. You’ll work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑moving engineering‑driven culture, contributing your expertise in electromechanical assembly and precision liquid handling to help us deliver the next generation of HighRes technology.

Your craftsmanship isn’t just about building devices — it’s about enabling progress in global science.
