    About the role:
    The Head of Technical Operations and Clinical Engineering role is essential in developing innovative solutions that provide clinically relevant insights from non-invasive sensors for Cardiosense. Your work will directly impact the advancement of healthcare technologies and improve patient outcomes, making a significant difference in the medical field.
    Responsibilities:

    Deployment and Customer Integration

  1. Own end-to-end deployment of Cardiosense deployment for new customers, from technical scoping through go-live and steady-state support

  2. Serve as the primary point of contact to hospital IT, biomed/clinical engineering, and information security teams.

  3. Define and maintain the on-boarding procedures including device procurement and provisioning, fleet management, workflow mapping, and staff training.

  4. Manage integration workstreams with hospital systems and third-party cardiac data platforms, coordinating with engineering on interfacing requirements and data flow.

  5. Build the field support model, including tiering, SLAs, and the feedback to R&D.

  6. Commercial & Performance Monitoring

  7. Support Commercial to define a successful deployment including activation milestones, sustained utilization thresholds, and per-site economics.

  8. Own instrumentation and reporting of device and platform usage, building the metrics infrastructure and recurring reporting cadence used by Commercial for account decisions.

  9. Own account monitoring across deployed sites including utilization, workflow breakdowns, or technical friction to allow for early intervention

  10. Translate deployment and utilization data into commercial strategy inputs and use that analysis to contribute to commercial planning.

  11. Own technical and operation content to customer-facing materials that helps solution expansion and increases site utilization

  12. Hardware supply and manufacturing operations

  13. Manage the contract manufacturing and external design partners: statement of works, build plan, cost, yield, and quality

  14. Drive the accessory and device improvements roadmap through partners from requirements through design transfer and verification

  15. Own build planning and inventory across the demo program, clinical studies, and commercial deployment.

  16. Clinical Engineering

  17. Support execution of clinical validation studies demonstrating performance and clinical utility of Cardiosense solutions, with commercialization endpoint defined early on.

  18. Provide operational and technical support to clinical studies, including site activation, device logistics, and data integrity.

  19. Provide oversight on data monitoring and execution, flagging when sites drift out of protocol early

  20. Product and R&D Insights and Support

  21. Provide real-world usage into prioritized requirements for the algorithm and applications team

  22. Identify data collection opportunities that support algorithm improvements and expansion indications, in coordination with the PCCP framework

  23. Advise on product roadmap tradeoffs where deployment feasibility, manufacturability, or clinical utilization are gating factors.

  24. Qualifications:
  25. Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field

  26. 8+ years of experience in medical devices, digital health, clinical engineering, healthcare technology, or a related technical environment

  27. Demonstrated experience leading technical deployments, implementations, or integrations within hospitals or health systems

  28. Experience working directly with hospital stakeholders, including clinicians, clinical engineering/biomed, IT, information security, and/or research teams

  29. Strong analytical skills with experience developing metrics, dashboards, reporting, or other data driven tools used to monitor performance and support business decisions

  30. Working knowledge across hardware, software, and clinical workflows, with the ability to effectively communicate with specialized teams in each area

  31. Experience developing and implementing new operational processes, particularly in environments where processes and infrastructure are still being built

  32. Demonstrated ability to independently scope problems, identify solutions, make decisions, and drive workstreams through completion

  33. Strong cross functional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical information for clinical, commercial, and operational audiences

  34. Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities in a fast paced environment

  35. Cardiosense is an equal opportunity employer.
