Medical Robotics Technicians

Medical robotics technicians typically work 40 hours a week. Since many medical facilities operate 24/7, technicians may need to answer service calls at night and on weekends. Technicians may be required to lift and carry heavy equipment and tools, as well as work in tight spaces. Technicians who work for equipment manufacturers and service firms travel daily to service or install equipment.
