Field Service Engineer - Cardiac Telemetry & Network Integration

The Field Service Engineer (FSE) is responsible for the deployment, integration, maintenance, and support of ECG telemetry monitoring systems within clinical research and healthcare environments. This role combines hands-on field service expertise with networked medical device integration, systems troubleshooting, and customer-facing technical leadership.

The FSE will lead technical implementation activities for GI’s cardiac monitoring platform, including installation, configuration, validation, networking, and ongoing technical support of hardware and software systems. The role requires close collaboration with clinical research personnel, biomedical engineering teams, and customer IT departments to ensure reliable, secure, and compliant system operation.

This position involves a combination of technical service leadership and hands-on customer site implementation. Travel is estimated at approximately 25-35%, including domestic and occasional international travel.
