Biomedical Engineer for the operating block management - 100%

Ref 2586581 | Date: 21 Oct 2026 HUG - Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève With more than 13'000 employees representing 160 professions, the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG) are a reference institution at the national and international level. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking [here.](< >) As part of the optimization of their structures, the HUG are creating an Executive Directorate of Operating Blocks (DBO) reporting directly to the Deputy General Management (the director took office on 16 March 2026). This new centralized structure is entirely dedicated to the management of operating blocks with a clear objective: to strengthen governance, interprofessional synergies, the optimization of patient care and processes, while driving innovation and research. The HUG operating blocks consist of a cutting-edge technical platform composed of 8 modern blocks representing nearly 41 intervention rooms, designed to offer optimal care 24h/24. Each year, more than 25,000 interventions are performed there by 1,500 dedicated professionals, covering all advanced surgical disciplines (gynecology-obstetrics, ENT, maxillofacial, cardiac, vascular, visceral, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, etc., including robotic surgery). The context: Biomedical at the heart of operating block transformation Today, the operating block has become a technological environment of extreme complexity (surgical robotics, electrosurgery, advanced imaging, 4K/3D audiovisual integration, network interconnections, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity of medical devices). At HUG, we are convinced that the role of this or that biomedical engineer is to embody a true role of application engineer and strategic partner. Acting as a true bridge between clinical teams, surgeons, industry professionals, and technical services, you do not just repair or do <<troubleshooting>>: you anticipate, advise, secure, optimize, and support teams in the constant technological evolution of the block and ensure the safety and availability of the operating block technical platforms on a daily basis with the block technicians. Biomedical Engineer for the operating block management - 100% Within the new Directorate of Operating Blocks (DBO), you play a central and transversal role in the strategic, digital, and operational management of biomedical equipment: As part of Governance & Strategic Planning, you must contribute to the multi-year planning of medical devices (equipment and associated consumables), ensure the update of the inventory, and manage fixed assets. You also have to develop the DBO equipment plan; support the expression of user needs, evaluate existing solutions, and challenge requests in connection with institutional orientations. You participate actively in multi-professional groups for acquisition and renewal files managed by the Biomedical Service. You will coordinate tests and commissioning with the block technicians. As a technological reference & Active Interface, you bring your technical and technological expertise during exchanges within the Directorate and the governance of the operating blocks. Regarding Digital, Video and Network Integration, you participate in the management of complex interfaces and interoperability between equipment, and work in close collaboration with IT services on the network and audiovisual integration (PACS, video streams, etc.) of the operating block. For Operational Support & Continuous Improvement, you supervise first-level support, coordinate technical interventions, optimally plan preventive maintenance via GMAO (in connection with the Biomedical Maintenance Sector and with the block technicians), contribute to the management of medical devices (MD/DMI), loans, and associated contracts, while contributing to cross-functional projects. For Training & Change Management Support, in connection with suppliers, you must design training for the various operating block equipment. Organize and relay these training sessions to nursing and medical teams to optimize and secure use. For Major Modernization & Infrastructure Projects, you intervene for the DBO, in connection with the biomedical service and the real estate department, as an advisor to architects and project managers during renovation and evolution works of the blocks. You must define needs, structure technical programs, anticipate installation constraints, and contribute to ensuring overall coherence between infrastructure and clinical practices. Regarding Technological Watch, Safety & Risk Management, you must ensure active monitoring of innovations (robotics, AI, assisted surgery). You must also ensure regulatory compliance, anticipate obsolescence, collaborate with the materiovigilance commission to secure traceability, and participate actively in quality and risk mitigation processes (including radiation protection, in collaboration with the Medical Directorate). Qualifications You hold a university degree in biomedical engineering (or equivalent training completed by a solid specialization in a hospital environment). You have at least five years of successful experience in a hospital or clinical setting in a similar role to the co
