What an Imaging Engineer I does
An Imaging Engineer I typically supports general radiography, portable X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound and related equipment: performing preventive maintenance and calibrations, troubleshooting image quality and hardware issues, and assisting senior engineers on CT and other advanced systems. Along the way you learn how imaging departments plan around downtime and how to work with radiologic technologists, physicists and manufacturer support.
Typical qualifications
Many employers look for an associate degree or military training plus biomedical experience, often at the BMET II level or above. A strong electronics background, comfort with software and networking, and a willingness to complete manufacturer training are key. Some employers offer sign-on bonuses or relocation help for imaging roles, so check each listing.
