The Biomedical Equipment Specialist serves as a regional technical leader with advanced expertise in sterilizer systems and additional high-end healthcare technology. This position requires the ability to operate independently with minimal supervision, make technical decisions, manage a complex clinical equipment inventory, and communicate effectively with healthcare facility leadership.

The ideal candidate has significant hands-on experience maintaining and repairing hospital sterilization equipment, formal OEM training on Steris and/or Getinge equipment, and a minimum of seven years of healthcare technology repair experience.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Serve as Subject Matter Expert and modality expert for sterilizer systems
• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain sterilizer systems to manufacturer standards

STERILIZER EXPERIENCE IS CRITICAL: This position requires true SME-level sterilizer expertise. Candidates must demonstrate direct responsibility for troubleshooting, repairing, maintaining, calibrating, and supporting sterilizer systems to manufacturer standards. General BMET experience without substantial sterilizer expertise is not sufficient.

OEM TRAINING IS REQUIRED: Formal OEM training on Steris and/or Getinge equipment is specifically required. Verify the manufacturer, training or certification completed, equipment covered, and candidate's subsequent hands-on experience servicing that manufacturer's sterilizer systems.

EDUCATION NOTE: A bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering or Biomedical Engineering is listed; however, the employer specifically allows equivalent experience managing, maintaining, and repairing clinical equipment within a healthcare environment. Extensive directly relevant HTM experience may therefore satisfy the education requirement.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENT: This is not a single-facility BMET position. The specialist will travel extensively throughout the Boston and New Hampshire region supporting multiple healthcare facilities. Candidates must be comfortable with a field-based position and significant regional travel.

Not ready to apply? If you have extensive biomedical equipment experience, advanced sterilizer expertise, and Steris and/or Getinge OEM training and would prefer to discuss the opportunity first, call or text Elizabeth directly at 272-230-3157.
