- Familiarity with RTLS, BLE, WiFi, or other location technologies.
- Networking, IT infrastructure, or EHR integration experience.

- You like solving real-world problems that directly impact people.
- You’re comfortable in fast-paced, scaling environments.
- You love working with both customers and technology.
- You want to develop your skills quickly and assume more responsibility.
