Field Service Engineer

Mission

The Field Service Engineer (FSE) role will play a pivotal role in bringing the advancements of particle acceleration technology to IBA’s global customers. Responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing IBA systems across customer sites in the USA, Central, and South America, with opportunities for international travel to Europe and Asia to support our teams abroad. This role is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology and make a difference on a global scale.

Challenges we trust you with

• Responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing IBA systems at customers’ locations.
• Train the customers to use equipment properly and safely.
• Generate accurate reports with the appropriate level of detail.
• Propose system improvements and work with IBA’s global Research & Development team (R&D) to implement changes.
• In practice, this position is home-based and will spend at least 50% of the time at IBA’s customer sites, performing the following functions:
  • IBA system installation/commissioning (requires a continuous presence on site for 4 weeks).
  • Maintenance of IBA equipment (typically 1 week, Monday-Friday travel and 3 days onsite).
  • Troubleshooting/Emergency (typically requires departure within 24 hours and may last between 1 to 2 weeks).

Typical work hours are Monday through Friday during the day. However, additional work on weekends may be required during some assignments, and Hotline responsibilities necessitate weekend availability. At IBA, we have a “follow the sun” approach to supporting the Hotline, so unless you otherwise request it, work hours for this role will take place during regular work daylight time
