Medical Infrastructure Engineer, IHU
About the role
Maintain your personal relationship with Jesus Christ and be an effective witness for Him.
Lead or contribute to the engineering design, systems architecture, and integration of Emergency Field Hospital (EFH) platforms, including medical equipment, infrastructure systems, and logistics workflows to support rapidly deployable medical response capabilities.
Design and improve deployable medical infrastructure systems for austere environments, including power distribution, oxygen generation and delivery systems, environmental control systems, and integrated clinical support systems.
Serve as a technical lead in the engineering and design of other deployable medical treatment facilities and specialized medical infrastructure systems, including outbreak treatment units, modular medical clinics, and other emergency medical structures.
Collaborate with medical, logistics, and operations teams to optimize EFH transportability, modularity, and rapid deployment capability, ensuring systems are configured to meet aircraft transport constraints and field operating conditions.
Participate in testing, evaluation, and continuous improvement of EFH and other medical infrastructure systems, contributing to the development of innovative solutions that improve operational efficiency, clinical capability, and response speed in disaster environments.
Develop and lead training programs for Emergency Field Hospital (EFH) system build, setup, and technical operation, preparing non-clinical Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) personnel to support EFH assembly, infrastructure setup, and equipment maintenance during deployments.
Provide technical expertise to support EFH equipment integration, system reliability, and operational readiness within the Emergency Medical Response (EMR) program.
Develop and maintain EFH technical build guides, system documentation, and deployment manuals used to support field implementation.
Provide technical consultation and engineering support for fixed healthcare infrastructure projects across Samaritans Purse health programs when requested, including mission hospitals and other permanent medical facilities in low-resource settings.
Serve in a leadership role supporting the setup, configuration, and operational functionality of EFH systems and infrastructure as needed during field deployments.
