Biomedical Electronics Technologist

Join to apply for the Biomedical Electronics Technologist role at Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes

Overview

As a member of the military, Biomedical Electronics Technologists provide technical maintenance and repair support for medical and dental equipment used in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). They use electronic instrumentation and workshop tools to ensure the accurate performance of medical devices.

The primary responsibility is to maintain medical equipment according to Canadian Standards Association and manufacturer specifications. This includes devices such as :

• Operating room monitors and devices;
• Intensive care unit monitors and devices;
• Emergency room monitors and devices;
• Medical laboratory equipment; and
• Diagnostic imaging equipment.

Work environment

Technologists may work in regional repair facilities, at Canadian Field Hospitals, or Advanced Surgical Centres, within Canada or internationally. They may also perform repairs on ships and must regularly visit medical establishments within the CAF.

Joining the Regular Force involves post-training base assignment and possible relocations. The Primary Reserve allows part-time work with one night per week and some weekends, with potential for full-time employment, and typically does not require relocation outside the assigned Reserve unit.

Entry plans

The minimum education requirement is a Diploma of Technology in Biomedical Engineering from an accredited Canadian institution and six months of recent work experience as a Biomedical Electronics Technologist. Recent graduates within 12 months of completing their program may be eligible without work experience.
