Biomedical Engineering (BME) Analyst - VA

Summary

IronArch Technology is an award-winning technology services company supporting Federal Government clients. The Biomedical Engineering Analyst will support the Department of Veterans Affairs Electronic Health Record Modernization program by validating medical device, system, and interface deployment data, maintaining accurate asset inventories, and performing documentation quality assurance. The role also coordinates with Healthcare Technology Management sites and tracks assigned interfaces through pre-deployment and authorization preparation.

Responsibilities

• Compile and maintain asset inventory information for the medical devices, systems, and capabilities being deployed at each EHRM go-live site
• Cross-check asset and interface data across multiple sources, including a Power Apps application used by program teams, the HTM-owned clinical system tracker, and national device and system records
• Understand assets across pre-production and production environments, including network details such as IP addresses
• Identify discrepancies between sources, trace them to the correct answer, and see that the right records are updated
• Review Enterprise Risk Analysis (ERA) documentation for each interface
• Review Ports, Protocols, and Services Management (PPSM) documentation for accuracy and consistency with what is being deployed
• Perform QA across data sources and documentation so that information handed to the authorization team is complete and correct
• Confirm that required updates are made in authoritative records before an ATC package moves forward
• Own a defined list of interfaces within an assigned area and track each one through pre-deployment activity
• Attend interface kickoff, scheduling, and working calls as they are stood up for your interfaces
• Track scope changes such as de-scoped interfaces, replaced hardware, or software versions that did not change, and confirm them with the site
• Hand off verified deployment information to the team responsible for processing ATCs through the Defense Health Agency (DHA)
• Work directly with local HTM sites and site staff to ask clarifying questions and confirm what is being deployed
• Take in information from site calls, HTM, and cross-site working groups and turn it into accurate, current tracking data
• Keep team leads informed of risks, blockers, and changes that affect go-live readiness

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, Healthcare Administration, or a related discipline (or equivalent professional experience)
• 3+ years of experience in data analysis, asset or configuration management, IT inventory, or a comparable detail-intensive analyst role
• Strong attention to detail and a track record of reconciling data across multiple, sometimes conflicting sources
• Comfort working through large volumes of structured data and documentation with consistent accuracy
• Ability to follow established processes reliably and consistently, including processes that are manual or multi-step
• Clear written and verbal communication, including asking direct, specific questions of site staff and stakeholders
• Ability to manage a large number of parallel threads (interfaces, calls, follow-ups) without losing track
• Microsoft Excel (advanced: filtering, lookups, pivot tables, data validation)
• Microsoft Power Apps, SharePoint, or similar business data applications
• Microsoft Teams and Outlook for high-volume meeting and communication workflows
• Basic networking concepts: IP addressing, ports, protocols, and environments (pre-production vs. production)
• Comfortable using AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot as a working tool to research unfamiliar terms, check understanding, and draft or organize information
• Understands that AI output needs human review, and applies judgment rather than relying on it as a replacement for verification
• U.S. Citizenship is required
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust suitability determination
• Familiarity with medical device, clinical system, or health IT asset data (preferred)
• Experience supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Health Agency, or other Federal health agencies
• Experience with the VA EHRM program or a large-scale EHR deployment
• Experience with Healthcare Technology Management (HTM), clinical engineering, or biomedical engineering operations
• Familiarity with medical device security, Enterprise Risk Analysis (ERA), or Authorization to Connect (ATC) processes
• Familiarity with Ports, Protocols, and Services Management (PPSM) documentation
• Experience with interface tracking or integration coordination in a clinical or enterprise IT environment
• Experience working in a complex multi-vendor Federal program
• Candidates with active VA PIV credentials or an active Public Trust are strongly preferred to support accelerated onboarding
