We’re looking for a Technical Engineer to join Sectra. This role is ideal for someone with 5–10 years of experience in system deployment, configuration, or technical implementation within healthcare IT. You’ll play a critical role in installing, configuring, and optimizing Sectra’s Enterprise Imaging solutions, helping hospitals and health systems deliver better care through smarter technology.

In this role you will:

• Configure integrations with third-party systems including PACS, EMRs, modalities, dictation systems, and AI platforms
• Collaborate with project managers, healthcare IT teams, and customers to ensure successful implementations
• Support and lead data migration activities during project transitions
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues and perform diagnostics remotely or on-site
• Deliver technical training sessions and mentor junior team members
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within deployment processes
• Occasionally work outside of standard hours to support go-lives and critical implementations

To be successful in this role, you should:

• Have 5–10 years of experience deploying or supporting complex enterprise software systems, ideally within healthcare IT
• Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent technical experience
• Demonstrate strong understanding of PACS, DICOM, and system architecture in a medical imaging environment
• Have experience with Windows Server environments, virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper‑V, or Azure), and network configurations (VPN, DNS, firewalls, routing)
• Be skilled in installing, configuring, and upgrading enterprise software applications
• Have working knowledge of databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or similar) and basic scripting (PowerShell, Python, or Bash)
• Be confident leading technical deployments and customer discussions independently
• Be detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable managing multiple concurrent projects
• Be willing to work occasional off-hours to support customer go-lives or urgent system needs

Nice‑to‑haves (not required to apply):

• Prior experience deploying or administering PACS, RIS, or VNA solutions in a healthcare environment
• Familiarity with cloud-hosted infrastructure or hybrid deployment models
• Understanding of security best practices (data encryption, certificates, VPN tunnels, authentication protocols)
• Experience with data migrations, system upgrades, or disaster recovery planning
• Exposure to Linux-based servers or containerized environments
• Experience providing technical training or customer onboarding sessions

Why this role?

• You’ll directly contribute to solutions that improve healthcare workflows and patient outcomes
• You’ll gain experience with complex enterprise imaging environments and global deployments
• It’s a strong growth opportunity toward senior engineering, project management, or solution architecture roles
• You’ll join a mission‑driven team solving real‑world challenges in healthcare
