• Drive critical situations (system down, major clinical impact) to resolution with clear customer communication and executive updates when required.
• Conduct proactive health checks and post‑installation connectivity/verification audits when needed.

• Minimum 5 + years hands‑on experience supporting Siemens SPECT or SPECT/CT systems (Symbia family strongly preferred) in a clinical environment.
• Expert‑level knowledge of Syngo acquisition and processing software (MI Cardiology, MI Neurology, MI Oncology, MI General packages).

• Proven experience resolving PACS connectivity issues across multiple vendor platforms.
• Strong understanding of Windows Server/Client OS, SQL databases, virtualization (VMware/Hyper‑V), and networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, firewalls).
• Experience with IHE integration profiles (SWF, PIR, CPI, etc.) and HL7 interfaces.
• Excellent customer communication skills, ability to manage frustrated clinical staff and de‑scale high‑pressure situations.
• Ability to travel up to 30 % for on‑site escalations (primarily domestic, occasional international).

• Siemens Factory Training certifications (Symbia, syngo.via, MI Applications).
