Innovations Engineer

We are looking for an experienced IT professional to join our exciting culture in a meaningful role leading innovations.

Responsibilities:

• Ideation and Prototyping: Explore emerging technologies and methodologies to propose innovative solutions for radiology challenges.
• Project Leadership: Lead experimental projects from concept to pilot implementation, ensuring measurable outcomes and alignment with organizational goals.
• Technical Development: Develop prototypes, tools, or scripts as needed, using coding or other technical means.
• Collaboration: Work closely with radiologists, IT, clinical staff, and other stakeholders to identify pain points and opportunities for improvement. Organize and participate in regular virtual "Testing Roundtables" for detailed exploration of new peripherals and tools. Coordinate small working groups to test and document devices' effectiveness. Establish collaborative networks with other practices outside of RANT and radiologists to share innovations and resources.
• Hardware Installation and Configuration: Build and maintain a shared repository of pre-configured scripts, tools, and setup guides. Install and configure innovative radiology-specific hardware, such as ergonomic peripherals (e.g. gaming keypads and mice). Pre-configure devices with radiology-specific functions (e.g., auto-start dictaphone software, template auto-launch) to minimize setup effort. Work directly with new radiologists to ensure seamless hardware setup and provide individualized guidance.
• Education and Training: Develop an education program to promote adoption of ergonomic and efficiency-boosting tools, including periodic refreshers and best practices. Track tool adoption rates.
• Research and Development: Stay informed about industry trends, including AI, machine learning, workflow optimization, and automation technologies.
• Technology Assessment: Evaluate new tools and platforms for their potential impact on radiology operations.
• Documentation and Reporting: Create detailed documentation and present findings, recommendations, and results to leadership.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of experience in a technical or innovation-focused role.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to think creatively and outside the box.
• Hands-on experience with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or similar).
• Familiarity with healthcare IT systems, particularly in radiology, is a strong advantage.
• Knowledge of data analysis, workflow automation, or process optimization techniques.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with diverse teams.
• Self-motivated with a passion for learning and innovation.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in healthcare, radiology, or imaging workflows.
• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and their application in healthcare.
• Proficiency in prototyping tools or platforms (e.g., Figma, Arduino, etc.).
• Knowledge of ITIL or other IT service management frameworks.
• Drive innovation at the nation's largest private physician practice by designing and implementing technology solutions that improve healthcare operations and enhance the provider and patient experience.
