EEG Technologist

As an EEG Technologist at COPA, you’ll play an important role in expanding pediatric neurology services and providing specialized diagnostic care for children and adolescents. You’ll independently perform routine EEG studies, operate diagnostic equipment, and produce high-quality recordings that help physicians evaluate and diagnose neurological conditions. You’ll work closely with our Pediatric Neurologist and clinical team while managing the day-to-day technical operations of the EEG service.

This role combines technical expertise with a compassionate, child- and family-centered approach to help patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their testing experience. If you enjoy working independently, solving problems, and making a meaningful difference in pediatric healthcare, this is an opportunity to help grow an essential service at COPA.

Our mission is to provide exceptional, right-fit care for kids at every age and stage, and our vision is to improve the health of all kids in our community. We do this in a welcoming, inclusive environment where collaboration, openness, play and accountability are part of how we care, not just what we do.

At COPA, you’ll work alongside people who value kindness, teamwork, and earning families’ trust every single day.
