- Associate degree or higher in biomedical equipment technology or electronics technology
- Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician (CBET) credential from AAMI preferred or required

Medical Equipment Technician Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical equipment technician in California?
The most direct path is completing an associate degree in biomedical equipment technology or electronics from a California community college, then earning the Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician credential through the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. California does not issue a state-specific license for this role, so the CBET functions as the primary professional credential recognized by California health systems. Some technicians enter through military training programs or manufacturer-sponsored technical schools before pursuing CBET certification.
Which companies hire medical equipment technicians in California?
Companies currently hiring medical equipment technicians in California include AdaptHealth, Lincare, and Crown Medical, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. California's large integrated health systems and third-party biomedical service contractors are consistently among the most active employers in the state.
Which California cities have the most medical equipment technician jobs?
San Diego, Glendale, and San Jose have the most medical equipment technician openings in California. The Los Angeles area drives volume through its density of hospitals, trauma centers, and ambulatory surgery centers, while San Diego's concentration of medical device manufacturers and academic medical centers adds a strong field service and R&D segment that pulls in technicians from across the region.
Are there remote medical equipment technician jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Most medical equipment technician work requires hands-on device inspection, calibration, and repair at the point of care, which limits remote arrangements significantly. About 33% of medical equipment technician openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in equipment documentation, compliance auditing, and technical support roles rather than direct service work.
How can I get hired as a medical equipment technician in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for biomedical equipment technician trainee or junior technician roles at large California health systems like Kaiser Permanente or Dignity Health, both of which run structured on-the-job training programs for candidates with an associate degree in electronics or biomedical technology. Lateral moves from roles such as sterile processing technician, medical device sales support, or hospital electronics maintenance can also open the door. Completing AAMI's CBET exam prep coursework and documenting hands-on equipment hours during your degree program gives California candidates a measurable edge over applicants without credentials.
Where can I find and apply to medical equipment technician jobs in California?
You can find and apply to medical equipment technician jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings across hospitals, health systems, and biomedical service companies. Find roles that fit your experience and credentials and apply directly.
