About EBR Systems

At EBR Systems, we're not imagining the future of cardiac care. We're building it. We are the team behind the world's first FDA-approved leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing device for heart failure. It's a breakthrough that's redefining what's possible, and it's just the beginning.

Based in Silicon Valley, we're advancing the WiSE System, a first-of-its-kind device in cardiac rhythm management. Your work here has a direct line to patients whose lives depend on what we build. We hire people who want to solve hard problems and who care about getting it right.

We invest in our people as much as our technology. Expect a collaborative, transparent culture, real career growth in a fast-moving startup, competitive compensation, equity, comprehensive benefits, and generous PTO.

If you want your work to matter, EBR is where you belong.

SUMMARY OF THE POSITION:

The Field Imaging Specialist (Acoustic Window Screening) is a credentialed sonographer responsible for leading and overseeing acoustic window screening (AWS) in the field to determine patient eligibility and identify the optimal implant site for the WiSE™ Leadless Endocardial Pacing System. Unlike a purely educational imaging role, this position is hands-on: the Specialist personally directs acquisition and interprets the AWS in the pre-procedural setting, documents target implant site measurements, and communicates findings that directly inform case planning and implant strategy.

The role is field based within an assigned U.S. region and partners closely with implanting physicians, hospital sonographers and echo labs, Field Clinical Specialists (FCS), Territory Managers (TM), Training & Education, and Clinical Affairs. In addition to proctoring screens, the Specialist trains and quality-checks hospital and internal personnel on AWS technique and protocol, supporting a scalable, consistent screening process as case volume grows.

Candidates must reside within the assigned territory, preferably in Dallas, TX or Chicago, IL, and live within one hour of a major commercial airport. 

ESSENTIAL AND OTHER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:Primary Responsibilities
Acoustic Window Screening: Performance and Interpretation

• Lead acoustic window screens on candidate patients at hospital and clinic sites using linear and cardiac probes, in accordance with the approved AWS protocol and IFU.
• Provide guidance and oversight during the acquisition of acoustic window measurements and required patient information for WiSE System implants, ensuring the information is obtained accurately and in accordance with the approved AWS protocol and IFU. Document the acquired measurements and patient information as required.
• Determine and document viable and optimal windows; identify patients who do not qualify and clearly communicate the rationale.
• Identify and document cardiac abnormalities or anatomical findings that could affect implantation or system function; escalate to the physician and internal stakeholders as appropriate.
• Prepare timely, accurate AWS reports for implanting physicians, FCS, Territory Managers, and internal stakeholders.

Case Preparation and Procedural Readiness

• Translate screening findings into actionable pre-case guidance on target implant site selection and expected approach.
• Participate in pre-case planning discussions with the implanting physician, FCS, and Territory Manager; re-scan or confirm window selection on the day of the procedure when required.
• Provide imaging support in prep for cases, including patient positioning guidance and implant site marking consistent with the screening result.
• Partner with the account and EBR 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 feed learnings back into protocol and training.

Training, Quality Control, and Protocol Adherence

• Train hospital sonographers, echo lab staff, physicians, and other HCPs on AWS protocol, image acquisition, and measurement technique.
• Train and assess internal field team members (FCS, TM, clinical specialists) on screening workflow and imaging fundamentals; provide direct feedback to training and field team members on in-field screening performance.
• Perform quality control review 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.

Cross-Functional Collaboration and Continuous Improvement

• Provide structured field feedback to Training & Education, Clinical Affairs, Marketing, Engineering, and R&D 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; share insights with training, sales and clinical leadership.
• Maintain a high level of clinical, technical, and product knowledge related to the WiSE™ System and the implant procedure.
• Ensure all activities comply with regulatory requirements, patient privacy obligations, hospital credentialing requirements, and company policy.
