• Support the scaling of field service capabilities as Neko expands its clinical footprint in the US.

Minimum Qualifications

• Technical certification, Associate degree, or equivalent experience in an engineering, biomedical, or technical field.

• Minimum 5 years of hands‑on experience in field service engineering, technical support, instrumentation, or similar roles.

• Proven experience installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and servicing technical equipment in operational environments.

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset.

• Excellent analytical skills and strong attention to detail.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams and geographies.

Preferred

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, biomedical engineering, electronics, or a related field.

• Experience working with clinical, healthcare, diagnostic, or medical device technologies.

• Exposure to regulated environments or quality/compliance standards.

• Experience supporting distributed sites or multi-location service environments.
