A technician is a person (often a crewman) trained in a specific process, often of a technical nature.

In 2364, sensor technicians were dispatched to work on a "glitch" with the USS Enterprise-D's sensor readings that were indicating there was something in orbit, despite the fact nothing appeared on the viewscreen. (TNG: "Justice")

In 2367, Vagh requested that his own technicians be allowed to confirm Captain Picard's claim that a Federation phaser rifle had been charged using Romulan technology. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")

In 2370, Deela, an official at the Tozhat Resettlement Center, complained that the center's computers didn't work, and a technician hadn't arrived since they were not a top priority. (DS9: "Cardassians")

When a technician is referred to on a starship, he or she is often called technician 1st, 2nd or 3rd class so as to account for his or her rank. A petty officer 2nd class, for example, who is a transporter technician, would be, traditionally, referred to as technician second class. (citation needededit)

In the script, the term technician is commonly used to refer to background characters such as transporter technicians, medical technicians, etc.
