What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Electro‑Optical Final Test Technician position at Danaher Manufacturing?
Make measurable impact in diagnostics
Imagine starting your day on the production floor in Chaska, MN, powering up a DxH hematology analyzer you just assembled. You bring it to life—aligning optics, calibrating electromechanical subsystems, and running performance tests until every specification is met. You log your results, flag an anomaly, collaborate with teammates to pinpoint root cause, and capture an update to the standard work so the next build is even better. That's a typical morning for our Senior Electro‑Optical Final Test Technician.
At Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, part of Danaher, we are united by a mission: enabling clinicians to deliver the best possible care through reliable, efficient diagnostics. Every hour, more than a million tests run on our systems worldwide.

- Independently assemble, align, calibrate, and execute final performance testing on complex optical and electromechanical instruments (DxH analyzers).
- Troubleshoot to the component level; escalate issues appropriately to meet on‑time delivery commitments.
