About The Position

Medicom is hiring an Implementation Specialist to own the technical delivery of our enterprise imaging platform at new customer sites. You will install and configure Connect and ImageX, build the DICOM, HL7, and FHIR interfaces that move imaging data across health systems, and guide customers through configuration, testing, go-live, and network connectivity. This is a hands-on, customer-facing delivery role. You’ll manage a portfolio of 17–25 active customer projects while supporting 30–40 installs, kickoffs, connection calls, and training sessions each month. You’ll work closely with Project Management, Support, Engineering, Customer Success, and customer IT and imaging teams as the technical expert responsible for getting implementations across the finish line.

Requirements

2+ years of production experience configuring and troubleshooting DICOM and HL7 v2 interfaces, with the ability to independently interpret HL7 messages and DICOM associations to identify issues.
Working knowledge of imaging workflows across radiology, cardiology, and oncology; experience with additional specialties such as urology, ambulatory imaging, or federal health is a plus.
Strong Windows Server and network troubleshooting skills, including ports, firewalls, VPNs, certificates, DNS, and endpoint security.
Proven ability to manage 15+ concurrent customer engagements while maintaining strong documentation, communication, and follow-through.
Strong customer-facing communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions with hospital IT, security, PACS, and other stakeholders.
Willingness to support scheduled early-morning and occasional evening or overnight cutover windows during go-live periods. This role does not have an on-call rotation.
Familiarity with HIPAA and sound judgment when working with technical data or diagnostics that may contain protected health information.
