Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Field Service Engineer' / 'Field Implementation Engineer' with no seniority level in the title, but the 10+ year IT experience requirement and lead responsibilities support a Senior classification.
The posting is fully remote with ~75% travel to hospital customer sites across the US; no fixed metro location is specified.
The hard requirements section ('Must Have') names only a Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of IT experience with Windows systems and networking/wireless — all other named technologies (Windows Server, SQL Server, Active Directory, VMware, Azure, routers/switches/VLANs/firewalls, scripting, device imaging) appear exclusively under the 'Nice to Have' section.
OEM experience with Philips, GE, Nihon Koden, or Drager is listed as a nice-to-have but names no specific technology platform, so it is omitted from the skills list per the generic-concept rule.
The role is eligible for a short-term incentive (Medtronic Incentive Plan / MIP) in addition to the stated base salary range.
