• Translate clinical and technical requirements into BMDI design specifications and implementation plans.
• Collaborate with IT, clinical engineering, and EHR analysts to ensure accurate integration of devices with the appropriate patient records and units.
• Configure and validate medical device interfaces, including HL7 message routing, device-to-bed mappings, and data field matching.
• Perform gap analysis between device output and clinical documentation needs, recommending appropriate solutions or workflows.
• Support and maintain existing BMDI infrastructure, ensuring system uptime, data integrity, and timely resolution of integration issues.
• Participate in testing, change control, validation, and go-live activities related to device integration.
• Document workflows, configuration settings, integration rules, and support procedures.
• Monitor real-time data transmissions and troubleshoot issues related to device connectivity, interface performance, or data mismatches.
• Assist in compliance efforts related to HIPAA, patient safety, and cybersecurity standards in medical device integration.

• Master’s degree preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Experience:

• 3+ years of experience in clinical systems analysis, healthcare IT, biomedical device integration, or related roles.
• Strong knowledge of EHR systems (e.g., Epic, Cerner) and integration engines (e.g., Mirth, Rhapsody).
• Experience with medical device middleware platforms such as Capsule, iSirona, or Cerner Care Aware preferred.
• Familiarity with HL7 messaging standards, FHIR, TCP/IP networking, and device communication protocols.

Certifications (preferred but not required):

• Epic Bridges or Clinical Device Integration (CDI) certification
• CBET (Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician)
• PMP or other project management credentials
• Vendor-specific certifications (e.g., Capsule Tech, iSirona)

Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to effectively communicate with both technical and clinical stakeholders.
• Proficiency in writing clear technical documentation and workflow diagrams.
• Understanding of hospital IT environments, clinical workflows, and patient safety standards.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced healthcare setting.

Working Conditions:

• Requires work in clinical settings, patient care areas, and equipment rooms.
• May require lifting or moving equipment up to 50 lbs.
• Occasional after-hours or weekend work for maintenance, upgrades, or go-lives
