Evaluate, install, maintain, diagnose, repair, calibrate, and test MDE, including high risk and life support MDE. This shall include complex Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved MDE to include but not limited to integrated/networked systems and related electronics and automation/networking that requires integrating this equipment; examples include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography scanners, radiographic-fluoroscopic x-ray systems, ultrasound scanners, surgical and dermatological lasers, physiological monitoring systems, proprietary local area networks, input and output computers, computed radiography (digital imagery), tele-maintenance, tele-radiography, and telemedicine. Ensure adequacy of all equipment networking and/or LAN integration for assigned functional area to include compatibility with existing utilities and existing equipment/components, determining what modifications to utilities are necessary to ensure the equipment operates as the user intends, and overseeing selection of network hardware. Ensure that cabling such as fiber optics, cat 5, ethernets, etc., and hardware such as switches, hubs and converters are in place and are functioning and capable of interfacing with said hardware (modalities). Assists in ensuring IA compliance for all Logistics systems. Serves as assistant SA for other IM/IT systems for agreements between sections within Logistics, where MDE is integrated with IM/IT systems (i.e. Temperature Sensitive Medical Products connected to MDE). Conducts cybersecurity analysis to address and make recommendations of network vulnerabilities, inspections and testing. Collaborate with Information Management Division (IMD) to ensure HIPAA compliance and connectivity of MDE. Requirements Graduate of a military BMET Course or a higher education degree from an accredited college in BMET or Engineering with additional coursework in IT years relevant experiencein the repair and maintenance of MDE and IT systems.
