About the Job

Requirements

  • An active, good-standing echocardiography sonographer credential (RDCS, RCS, or equivalent) is required.
  • At least 3 years of full-time adult cardiac sonography experience in a hospital setting, including independent scanning responsibility, is required.
  • A bachelor's degree is preferred; an equivalent combination of sonography credential and relevant clinical experience will be considered.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in transthoracic imaging, thoracic and cardiac anatomy, intercostal window assessment, and precise measurement technique is required.
  • Ability to scan independently and make accurate, defensible eligibility and target-site determinations without on-site supervision is required.
  • Ability to position, coach, and reassure heart failure patients during extended scanning in multiple postures is required.
  • Ability to teach and provide direct technical feedback to sonographers across skill and experience levels is required.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous, high-growth environment with shifting priorities is required.
  • A proven track record of maintaining composure and delivering results in time-sensitive or high-pressure clinical situations is required.
  • Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills, including clear written clinical reporting, are required.
  • Proficiency with common imaging software, DICOM viewers, customer relationship management systems, learning management system platforms, Microsoft Office, cloud collaboration platforms, and digital tools is required.
  • Ability to meet hospital credentialing, immunization, and vendor access requirements is required.
  • A valid driver's license and adherence to applicable driving and state requirements are required.
  • Ability to travel approximately 80% of the time, including overnight and occasional weekend travel, and potential international travel, with flexibility for short-notice travel, is required.
  • Ability to stand, walk, sit, talk, hear, handle objects or controls, and reach with hands and arms is required.
  • Ability to maintain a sustained scanning posture and perform repetitive arm, wrist, and hand movements for extended periods, and transport and set up portable ultrasound equipment, is required.
  • Ability to stoop, kneel, bend, crouch, lift up to 20 pounds, and assist with patient positioning as needed is required.
  • Close and distance vision, depth perception, color vision, and ability to adjust focus are required.
  • Ability to work for extended periods sitting or standing, monitor vision, tolerate moderate noise, and work in hospital, cath lab, and clinic environments is required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead acoustic window screens on candidate patients at hospital and clinic sites using linear and cardiac probes in accordance with the approved acoustic window screening protocol and instructions for use.
  • Guide and oversee acquisition of acoustic window measurements and required patient information for WiSE System implants, ensuring accuracy and compliance with the approved protocol and instructions for use; document the measurements and patient information.
  • Determine and document viable and optimal windows, identify patients who do not qualify, and communicate the rationale.
  • Identify and document cardiac abnormalities or anatomical findings that could affect implantation or system function, and escalate them to the physician and internal stakeholders as appropriate.
  • Prepare timely, accurate acoustic window screening reports for implanting physicians, Field Clinical Specialists, Territory Managers, and internal stakeholders.
  • Translate screening findings into actionable pre-case guidance on target implant site selection and expected approach.
  • Participate in pre-case planning with the implanting physician, Field Clinical Specialist, and Territory Manager; re-scan or confirm window selection on the procedure day when required.
  • Provide imaging support in preparation for cases, including patient-positioning guidance and implant-site marking consistent with the screening result.
  • Partner with the account and company field team on screening logistics, patient scheduling, and site readiness to keep the implant schedule on track.
  • Participate in post-case reviews to compare screening predictions with procedural findings and provide learnings for protocol and training.
  • Train hospital sonographers, echo lab staff, physicians, and other health care professionals on acoustic window screening protocol, image acquisition, and measurement technique.
  • Train and assess internal field team members, including Field Clinical Specialists, Territory Managers, and clinical specialists, on screening workflow and imaging fundamentals; provide direct feedback on in-field screening performance.
  • Perform quality-control reviews of screens completed by others, identify measurement or protocol deviations, and drive correction.
  • Assess readiness of sites and personnel to perform screening independently; recommend continued support, retraining, or independent status.
  • Maintain compliant, accurate training and screening documentation.
  • Provide structured field feedback to Training & Education, Clinical Affairs, Marketing, Engineering, and Research & Development on screening tools, protocols, imaging workflow, and training materials.
  • Support the introduction of new or additional imaging modalities as the screening program evolves.
  • Identify trends in screen pass and fail rates, anatomical patterns, and workflow barriers, and share insights with training, sales, and clinical leadership.
  • Maintain clinical, technical, and product knowledge related to the WiSE System and implant procedure.
  • Ensure all activities comply with regulatory requirements, patient privacy obligations, hospital credentialing requirements, and company policy.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with transesophageal echocardiography and intracardiac echocardiography imaging in a hospital-based operating room, catheterization lab, or electrophysiology lab setting is preferred.
  • Experience training, precepting, or quality-checking other sonographers is preferred.
  • Medical device industry experience in a field-based, clinical applications, or clinical education role is preferred.
  • Familiarity with cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, heart failure, or cardiac resynchronization therapy patient populations is preferred.
  • Cardiac computed tomography interpretation or measurement experience is a plus.
  • Experience scanning pediatric or adult congenital heart disease is a plus.

About the Company

EBR Systems

Wireless left-ventricle pacing for heart failure

EBR Systems develops wireless cardiac pacing systems for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) to treat heart failure. Its WiSE CRT System delivers left-ventricle pacing without a lead by using an implanted receiver and an external transmitter that converts energy into a pacing signal. This wire-free, endocardial approach aims to reduce lead-related complications and tailor therapy to individual patients. The goal is to improve heart failure outcomes by providing a safer, adaptable CRT option.
