Medical Device Field Service Tech. Bay Area

[day004]

I'm planning on retiring in March and my company (BD) has posted an open full time position. Good pay and benefits. Lots of opportunities for OT.
This is a full time swing shift position. 4pm-1AM.
You will generally cover from Santa Rosa to San Jose. So, a willingness to spend a few hours a day on the road is an absolute necessity. Company car and gas card is a huge benefit.
Plus, for a reasonable amount you can buy personal usage. I sold my car when I started this gig and never looked back.

Job is servicing Pyxis equipment. Essentially computer-based drug storage cabinets. Think Kaiser, Sutter, Valley Med. Big hospitals and small.

If you can build a computer and tune your bike you have the basic skills to be successful. Add in the ability to talk to friendly, cool Pharmacy techs and you're a shoe in.
The job is posted on the BD(Becton Dickinson) website.
BD is a 100+ year old medical services company that's worldwide in scope.
If you're interested in applying DM me an email address so I can do a referral and maybe pocket a few bux.

That's what I was thinking.

Have this Nate guy reach out. If he's out of work this is a great opportunity to change that.

Just DM-ed ya, does sound like an interesting role and probably pretty well lined up with my skills.

Fingers crossed, Nate!

My dad dealt with these things in the hospital setting and they are so problematic that he was retained for YEARS after retirement per diem to train up the pharmacists and troubleshoot, because he can build his own computers and rebuild engines, among other skills. They are a massive PITA and this tech will never be out of work! GLWJ search OP. Nice perks.

Hey Nate,
I wanted to tell you could absolutely handle those Pyxis installs. The mechanical side is really straightforward: seismic brackets, docking stations, through‑bolts or Hilti anchors. The only thing you really need to pay attention to is what’s going on underneath the slab. As long as you scan it, confirm you’re clear of rebar, and make sure there’s no complication for through‑bolting, you’re already ahead of the game.

All the bracket and anchor details come straight from the structural engineer or the pre‑approved installation details, so you’re not guessing. HCIA or special inspectors can be strict, but if you follow the plan sheets and specs exactly, you can’t go wrong. Hilti anchors also come with very specific installation instructions — and if you ever need to double‑check something, the ICC report spells it all out online.

A lot of the time contractors install the seismic brackets, so that might be already done.

The stand‑off dimensions and wall spacing are simple, and the data lines, connectivity, and programming are already right in your wheelhouse. You’d crush this job.

I really hope you get it. You’re more than capable, and I’m pulling for you. If you need anything — prep, questions, or just someone to bounce things off — I’m here.
