- Investigate complex technical incidents, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive solutions.
- Configure and troubleshoot connections with modalities and third-party systems, including EMRs, dictation systems, and AI platforms, in collaboration with integration specialists as needed.
- Work closely with project managers, application specialists, engineering colleagues, and customer IT teams to support successful implementations and resolve production issues.
- Support data migration and validation activities during implementations, upgrades, and system transitions.
- Communicate technical findings, next steps, and progress clearly to customers and colleagues.
- Document configurations, troubleshooting steps, and solutions, contributing to shared knowledge and consistent technical practices.
- Share knowledge and provide technical training to customers and colleagues as needed.
- Participate in continuous improvement efforts that strengthen deployment processes, support delivery, and the customer experience.
- Occasionally work outside standard business hours to support go-lives, planned maintenance, or urgent customer needs.
- Travel to customer sites as required, up to 25%.
To be successful in this role, you should:
- Have 5–10 years of experience deploying, administering, or supporting complex enterprise software systems, ideally within healthcare IT or medical imaging.
- Hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or have equivalent technical experience.
- Demonstrate a strong understanding of PACS, DICOM, and the infrastructure and workflows that support medical imaging environments.
- Have experience with Windows Server, virtualized or cloud environments such as VMware, Hyper-V, or Azure, and networking concepts including DNS, VPNs, firewalls, and routing.
- Be comfortable installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting enterprise applications.
- Have working knowledge of databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL and basic scripting experience with PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
- Approach troubleshooting methodically, with attention to system reliability, data integrity, and the impact on customer operations.
- Communicate clearly with both technical and nontechnical audiences and take ownership of issues through resolution.
- Be organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing project work with customer support priorities.
- Enjoy collaborating, learning new technologies, and building skills across deployment and support.
Nice-to-haves:
- Hands-on experience deploying or administering PACS, RIS, or VNA solutions.
