Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) Specialist

Where Expertise Meets Impact — And Every Day Is Different

Are you an advanced neurodiagnostics professional who thrives in the OR, loves high-stakes cases, and wants to be part of the surgical team that protects the nervous system in real time? This role is for you.

We’re looking for a high-level IONM Specialist who brings skill, confidence, and passion to some of the most complex procedures in modern medicine. If craniotomies, complex spine, vascular cases, mapping, and multimodality monitoring get you fired up — you’ll fit right in.

This isn’t just another job.
This is an opportunity to change surgical outcomes, mentor the next generation, and contribute to innovations that push neurodiagnostics forward.

What You’ll Do
