Field Clinical Engineer

Saluda Medical is a commercial‑stage medical device company focused on developing treatments for chronic neurological conditions using its novel closed‑loop neuromodulation platform. The company’s proprietary technology senses and measures neural responses to stimulation and automatically adjusts therapy based on real‑time neurophysiological feedback. Saluda Medical’s first product, the Evoke® System, is designed to deliver known, consistent, and personalized spinal cord stimulation therapy by objectively measuring neural responses and maintaining therapy within a prescribed therapeutic window. Saluda Medical is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At Saluda, we challenge boundaries. We innovate and think beyond the conventional. Our focus is to revolutionize the standard of care in neuromodulation to positively impact patient’s lives. Day in the Life… As Saluda scales from a high‑touch launch model to a mature commercial organization, the Field Clinical Engineer (FCE) role is evolving from 1:1 case coverage to 1: many leverage. The mission of this role is no longer to be present at every procedure; it is to build the clinical competency of Territory Managers, center staff, and physician partners so that exceptional, ECAP‑guided therapy outcomes scale reliably without requiring the FCE at the bedside. Reporting into Sales Training & Enablement, this regional role is the engine for scalable clinical education, proactive feature adoption, and durable therapy outcomes across Saluda’s SmartLoop™ closed‑loop technology.
