Sterilizer experience is critical: This position requires true SME-level sterilizer expertise. Candidates must demonstrate direct responsibility for troubleshooting, repairing, maintaining, calibrating, and supporting sterilizer systems to manufacturer standards. General BMET experience without substantial sterilizer expertise is not sufficient.

OEM training is required: Formal OEM training on Steris and/or Getinge equipment is specifically required. Verify the manufacturer, training or certification completed, equipment covered, and candidate's subsequent hands-on experience servicing that manufacturer's sterilizer systems.

Education note: A bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering or Biomedical Engineering is listed; however, the employer specifically allows equivalent experience managing, maintaining, and repairing clinical equipment within a healthcare environment. Extensive directly relevant HTM experience may therefore satisfy the education requirement.

Travel requirement: This is not a single-facility BMET position. The specialist will travel extensively throughout the Boston and New Hampshire region supporting multiple healthcare facilities. Candidates must be comfortable with a field-based position and significant regional travel.
