Overview
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated engineer to join the ultrasound engineering team at The Christie. The successful candidate will support the training of junior staff within Christie Medical Physics and Engineering (CMPE) and have experience working with complex medical equipment including service and repairs. There will be opportunities to attend manufacturer’s technical training courses and gain a wider range of knowledge of medical ultrasound equipment and repair.
The successful candidate will ideally be registered with a professional body which has an ongoing CPD scheme, have a degree in an appropriate electronics or electrical discipline, or equivalent experience, and be able to demonstrate advanced practical knowledge of medical ultrasound.

Provide and organise training courses, either formal in a training centre or informal on site to a level sufficient for the engineers to operate effectively over the range of current ultrasound imaging equipment.
Apply ultrasound system knowledge and experience to discern appropriate repair options e.g. decide to pass over to the manufacturer or repair in-house as appropriate, and sign off completed jobs.
Organise and carry out work to provide a timely and efficient service to users of ultrasound so the systems are operating effectively with minimum disruption to provision of clinical services.
