About the position

The Biomedical Imaging Engineer is responsible for the daily service and repair needs of designated imaging equipment across multiple modalities, including Nuclear Medicine, MRI, CT, and Rad/Fluro, as well as low-end diagnostic imaging equipment. This role involves providing on-site engineering support, performing maintenance and repairs, and ensuring that all imaging equipment operates at optimal levels. The engineer will administer inspections, investigations, calibrations, and repairs, while also troubleshooting and conducting preventative maintenance on the imaging equipment. In this position, the engineer will perform 80% of repairs and 100% of calibrations on the assigned equipment, collaborating with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Biomed Imaging Specialists to maintain clinical availability of over 96%. The role requires monitoring and maintaining an assurance plan for equipment safety and mandatory performance levels. The engineer will analyze, review, and inspect findings to determine the source of problems, performing necessary troubleshooting, repairs, replacements, or other corrective actions as needed. Additionally, the Biomedical Imaging Engineer will maintain comprehensive records related to the assigned equipment in the imaging database, ensuring that all documentation complies with company policies and regulatory requirements. The engineer will also develop a basic understanding of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and hospital networking, consult with end users and management on emerging technologies related to imaging equipment, and assist in the development and implementation of training materials. Conducting basic on-site in-service training on the proper operation of instrumentation is also part of the role. The engineer will participate in continuous improvement activities by identifying and escalating process and product quality gaps, providing solutions when possible. This is a full-time day position located at NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
