Job Summary

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Autonomic Lab Neurodiagnostic Technologist to join our Neurology team! The operating hours are Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm.

The Autonomic Technician role requires a strong clinical background, ideally with experience in neurodiagnostics such as EEG, EMG, sleep technology, or related autonomic testing.

Responsibilities include preparing and educating patients prior to testing, conducting autonomic and EMG tests (with autonomic studies lasting up to two hours), monitoring blood pressure and heart rate, placing electrodes, stocking and maintaining testing rooms, and managing supplies and inventory. Training will take place in Portsmouth, where autonomic testing is currently based, with the ideal candidate able to support both Portsmouth and Dover locations as needed. A provider is always on site during testing, and the technician will work alongside nursing staff and another experienced technician.

The technologist will measure the heart rate and blood pressure of the patient who will be exposed to a variety of stimuli that are controlled by the technologist such as deep breathing, active standing, and passive head-up tilting on a tilt-table. In addition, the technologist will perform a sympathetic skin response test that will evaluate and record the galvanic response from the skin. The technician will be responsible preparing the patient for all autonomic testing in the lab as well as providing explanations of what to expect. When the exams are complete, the technologist organizes the data into a report.
