PACS Technical Consultant - Remote EEA (preferably from Portugal or Spain)

PACS Technical Consultant (DICOM/HL7) - Full Remote Portugal

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a PACS Technical Consultant to join a healthcare technology organization that is actively modernizing medical imaging infrastructure across clinical environments. This is a high-impact role where your work directly supports radiology departments and clinical teams, ensuring that critical imaging systems run reliably and integrate seamlessly into broader healthcare workflows. If you thrive at the intersection of healthcare and technology, this is an opportunity to make a real difference in patient care delivery.

PROJECT & CONTEXT

You'll be embedded in projects involving the full lifecycle of PACS solutions — from initial deployment and configuration through data migration, user acceptance testing, and go-live support. The work involves setting up storage architectures, configuring modality mappings, managing data lifecycle policies, and ensuring smooth integration with existing Radiology Information Systems. You'll collaborate closely with project managers, radiology departments, and IT stakeholders, and you'll be responsible for producing thorough solution documentation to ensure clean handovers to operational support teams. These are clinical environment projects where precision and reliability are non-negotiable.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Required)

You should bring proven hands-on experience in PACS systems implementation, configuration, and ongoing support within clinical settings. A strong working knowledge of DICOM standards and medical image workflows is essential, including modality worklists, storage commitment, and query/retrieve operations. You'll need solid experience integrating PACS with RIS platforms and a practical understanding of HL7 messaging standards and healthcare interoperability patterns. Familiarity with IHE Profiles and how they govern real-world imaging workflows is expected. On the infrastructure side, you must be comfortable with Windows Server and/or Linux administration, as well as database management and SQL for data validation during migrations. Experience executing and supporting UAT processes using structured test scripts is important, along with strong documentation and communication skills — you'll be writing detailed solution documentation and coordinating across multidisciplinary teams. A methodical, detail-oriented approach to data migration and validation is critical.

NICE TO HAVE (Preferred)

A degree in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Health Informatics, or a related field would be valued. Certifications in AWS, HL7, or DICOM are a plus. Previous experience working directly within hospital or clinical environment implementation projects, particularly large-scale PACS rollouts or platform migrations, would strengthen your candidacy considerably.
