Hi all,
Just saw this posting for a Maintenance Technician at Penumbra in Alameda. They make medical devices for surgery.

Being a medical device manufacturer, this is a little bit different than other maintenance positions (doubtful you would be doing any machining or welding). I’m guessing a lot of troubleshooting, PLC’s, etc.

Check it out to see if there’s a match.
