Build a Career with Purpose at Rose Medical

At Rose Medical, we design and manufacture lifesaving medical devices — and we build the equipment that makes them too. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced, hands-on Manufacturing Technician to join our first shift team and help support our expanding operations.

While we’ve proudly developed talent from within, we are currently looking to add a technician with prior technical and troubleshooting experience who can help strengthen our team and support our continued growth.

If you enjoy diagnosing problems, working with your hands, and improving manufacturing processes in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment — this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

  • Read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and quality requirements
  • Assist with preventative maintenance and continuous improvement initiatives

🎯 What We're Looking For

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills
  • Experience diagnosing equipment issues in a production environment
  • Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks effectively
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Attention to detail and commitment to quality

⭐ Experience That Would Make You Stand Out

  • Low-voltage electrical diagnostics experience
  • Manual machining experience (lathe, mill, surface grinder, etc.)
  • Plastics or plastic forming equipment experience
  • Pneumatic or mechanical system troubleshooting
  • Ability to read blueprints, schematics, or wiring diagrams
  • Experience supporting manufacturing equipment or automation

⭐ What We Offer

  • Competitive starting pay — $27.00/hr and up based on experience
  • 4-day work week — Consistent schedule with guaranteed 40 hours
  • Quarterly bonus program — Everyone shares in our success
  • Generous PTO — 3 weeks per year
  • 8 paid holidays — No waiting period
  • Full benefits after 30 days, including:
    • Medical (diabetic supplies covered at 100%)
    • Dental (including orthodontics for kids and adults)
    • Vision
    • FSA
    • 401(k) with 4% company match
