- Build reliable lab operations by maintaining tools, spare parts, cables, fixtures, consumables, inventory, and supporting infrastructure.
- Support system installation, relocation, configuration, teaching, alignment, calibration, test-lot execution, diagnostic routines, and post-maintenance verification.
- Ensure safe, organized, and reliable laboratory operations by following security, lockout/tagout, electrostatic-discharge, and equipment-handling procedures.
