Job description
Job Summary
We are seeking a Clinical Imaging Ancillary Applications Support Engineer to support a large, multi-market health system engagement spanning Radiology, Cardiology, and Ancillary imaging ecosystems. This role provides Tier 2/3 application support, incident and problem management, and lifecycle support for the ancillary applications that surround the core PACS/VNA environment — including dictation/reporting, advanced visualization, dose management, orthopedic templating, ECG management, and hemodynamics-adjacent systems.
While the position is remote, the engineer must be available to travel across the country on short notice to support critical activities such as go-lives, PACS consolidation waves, data migrations, knowledge transfer sessions, and major incident response.

While the position is remote, the engineer must be available to travel across the country on short notice to support critical activities such as go-lives, PACS consolidation waves, data migrations, knowledge transfer sessions, and major incident response.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide Tier 2/3 support for clinical imaging ancillary applications across Radiology and Cardiology service lines, including incident triage, root cause analysis, and problem resolution within defined SLAs.
- Support, maintain, and troubleshoot applications such as:
- Dictation and reporting platforms (e.g., Nuance PowerScribe 360/One, Fluency for Imaging)
- Advanced visualization / 3D post-processing (e.g., TeraRecon, Vitrea, syngo.via, IntelliSpace Portal)
- Radiation dose monitoring (e.g., Bayer Radimetrics, DoseWatch, Imalogix)
- Orthopedic templating (e.g., Medstrat, OrthoView, TraumaCad)
- ECG management (e.g., GE MUSE, Philips IntelliSpace ECG)
- Contrast injector informatics, image sharing/CD burning (e.g., PowerShare, Ambra, LifeImage), and peer review/QA tools
- Manage HL7 and DICOM interface issues between ancillary applications, PACS/VNA, EMR (Epic Radiant/Cupid), and enterprise integration engines; coordinate with interface and EMR teams for resolution.
- Execute application upgrades, patching, certificate renewals, server migrations, and vendor-coordinated maintenance with change management discipline (CAB submissions, rollback plans, validation).
- Participate in knowledge transfer (KT) activities from incumbent teams; document runbooks, SOPs, known-error databases, and configuration baselines.
- Support PACS consolidation and migration waves, including ancillary application reconfiguration, testing, and go-live command center coverage.
- Coordinate with third-party vendors on escalations, defect tracking, and root cause analysis; manage vendor tickets to closure.
- Provide on-call and after-hours support on a rotational basis as part of a 24×7 support model; travel on-site for critical events as required.
- Maintain compliance with HIPAA and organizational security policies; support audit and access review activities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Health Informatics, Biomedical Engineering, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 5+ years supporting clinical imaging applications in a hospital or multi-facility health system environment.
- Hands-on experience with at least two of the following categories: dictation/reporting (PowerScribe strongly preferred), advanced visualization, dose monitoring, orthopedic templating, or ECG management.
- Strong working knowledge of DICOM (modality worklist, store/query-retrieve, routing) and HL7 v2 (ORM/ORU/ADT/SIU) message flows and troubleshooting.
- Experience integrating imaging applications with Epic (Radiant and/or Cupid) or comparable EMR platforms.
- Familiarity with Windows Server administration, SQL queries for troubleshooting, service accounts, and certificate management in a clinical application context.
- Experience working in an ITIL-based environment (incident, problem, change) using ServiceNow or a comparable ITSM platform.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work directly with radiologists, cardiologists, technologists, and clinical operations leaders during high-pressure events.
- Willingness and ability to travel nationwide as needed (may include short-notice travel for go-lives, migrations, and critical incident support).
