Senior Imaging & Testing Specialist

Location: Fremont, CA

Schedule: Fully Onsite, Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM PT

Overtime: Occasional overtime, approximately 2–3 times per month

Position Summary

The Senior Imaging & Testing Specialist is responsible for operating, maintaining, and optimizing advanced fluoroscopy and angiography imaging systems used to support the development and testing of innovative neurovascular and endovascular medical devices.

This role works closely with Research & Development, Clinical, Marketing, Medical Education, engineering, and healthcare professionals to support bench-top, simulated-use, and non-human vascular testing throughout the product development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with angiography or catheterization laboratory imaging systems, strong knowledge of radiation safety and laboratory operations, and familiarity with endovascular or interventional procedure workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Advanced Imaging & Laboratory Operations

• Operate and optimize monoplane and biplane fluoroscopy and angiography imaging systems to support medical device testing.
• Support advanced imaging applications, including 2D and 3D angiographic visualization, vessel roadmapping, and imaging acquisitions.
• Perform system setup, calibration, software updates, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance of imaging equipment.
• Coordinate with equipment vendors and technical service providers to resolve technical issues and maintain operational readiness.
• Maintain imaging system documentation, compliance records, and medical physicist reports.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on fluoroscopic imaging systems and angiography suite operations.

Preclinical Device Testing Support

• Prepare, assemble, and maintain in vitro vascular models, including 3D-printed components and tubing systems, used for device evaluations.
• Support simulated-use testing, proof-of-concept studies, design verification activities, physician events, product demonstrations, and internal training.
• Assist with the setup of simulated procedures and provide control-room support during physician-led testing activities.
• Provide technical expertise on imaging workflows and endovascular procedural techniques during device evaluations.
• Support room turnover, post-test cleanup, and preparation for subsequent testing activities.

Laboratory Readiness & Inventory Management

• Maintain laboratory organization, cleanliness, safety, and operational readiness.
• Assist with inventory management of testing supplies, consumables, and laboratory equipment.
• Ensure testing areas are properly configured for R&D activities, physician events, demonstrations, and training.
• Support equipment and supply organization to ensure efficient daily laboratory operations.

Safety & Compliance

• Promote a strong culture of safety and compliance across laboratory operations.
• Support radiation safety programs, dosimetry monitoring, PPE compliance, and ALARA principles.
• Ensure appropriate radiation safety procedures are followed during testing activities.
• Help ensure personnel participating in testing activities have appropriate training and use required protective equipment.
• Comply with applicable company policies, regulatory requirements, and California radiation safety procedures.

Technical Leadership & Collaboration

• Provide technical guidance to R&D and cross-functional teams regarding imaging system capabilities and best practices.
• Collaborate effectively with engineers, healthcare professionals, customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
• Communicate technical information clearly and professionally in a customer-facing and cross-functional environment.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience working in a cardiac catheterization laboratory, angiography suite, interventional imaging environment, or similar setting.
• Experience operating fluoroscopy, angiography, or catheterization laboratory imaging systems.
• Experience with Philips or Siemens imaging platforms required; experience with Philips Azurion, Siemens ICONO, GE, or similar systems is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of laboratory operations and radiation safety practices.
• Strong understanding of imaging system operation, setup, and workflow.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with engineers, healthcare professionals, customers, vendors, and cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Radiologic Technology, Cardiovascular Technology, Biomedical Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• Relevant technical certification in radiologic technology, cardiovascular technology, imaging, or a related field.
• Experience in a hospital cath lab or interventional imaging environment.
• Experience supporting endovascular, neurovascular, peripheral vascular, or other interventional procedures.
• Familiarity with endovascular procedure workflows.
• Experience supporting medical device development, testing, or healthcare technology environments.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift, carry, and move laboratory equipment, vascular models, and testing supplies weighing up to 15 pounds.
• Ability to wear radiation protection equipment for extended periods during testing activities.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, and perform laboratory setup, cleanup, and room turnover activities.
• Ability to work fully onsite in a laboratory and imaging environment.

Additional Information

• This role does not involve working with live patients. Testing is performed using simulated vascular models, 3D-printed components, tubing systems, and other laboratory-based test setups.
• Candidates with strong recent education and some hands-on cath lab or angiography experience may be considered.
• Candidates with prior cath lab experience are generally expected to become fully independent within approximately 30 days. Candidates with less direct experience may require up to 90 days.
• A flexible schedule of three days per week, Tuesday through Thursday, may be considered for highly qualified candidates.
