• Maintain current technical knowledge, documentation, and safe work practices.

• Minimum 2 years of hands‑on field service experience with Varian True Beam.
• Ability to work independently in the field and complete diagnostics/repairs without direct supervision.
• Strong background in electronic and electro‑mechanical troubleshooting and test equipment use (verification/calibration).
• Working knowledge of PC‑based systems; ability to identify and repair routine software and network‑related issues.
• Strong communication skills and a customer‑focused mindset (clinical/professional environment).
• Ability to lift up to 75 lbs and work on equipment requiring standing, dexterity, and use of small tools/parts.
• Willingness to travel (domestic and occasional international travel may be required).

Elekta experience is a plus. Familiarity with CRM/ERP tools (e.g., Salesforce) and strong comfort with Microsoft Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint).
