Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about an installation you led. How did you plan it and what went wrong?
What they are checking: Whether they can own an install end to end, since this level leads installations independently.
Tell me about a repair where you had to work without a clear answer from the manual or remote support.
What they are checking: Whether they can reason through moderately complex faults when the documented path runs out.
How do you explain a complex technical problem to a hospital administrator who only wants to know when the unit will be back?
What they are checking: Whether they can translate technical detail into timelines and impact that a non-engineer can act on.
Tell me about a time you helped a newer engineer get through a hard repair.
What they are checking: Whether they share knowledge with the team rather than keeping difficult work to themselves.
What would you do
You are the escalation point and a lead mammographer is angry that the unit has gone down twice in a month. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they can own a customer issue, take the heat calmly and present a real plan to stop repeats.
You are mid-PM on one system when an urgent down call comes in from another site. How do you decide what to do?
What they are checking: Whether they weigh patient impact, contract terms and safe stopping points before switching tasks.
About the work
Walk me through a preventive maintenance on a mammography system. What checks matter most for image quality and dose?
What they are checking: Whether they know mammography PM well enough to keep a system both accurate and compliant with radiation requirements.
How do you troubleshoot an X-ray system that is producing images with artifacts the radiologist says are new?
What they are checking: Whether they can separate detector, tube, calibration and software causes in a logical order on their own.
How do you keep up with Field Modification Instructions and service bulletins across the systems you cover?
What they are checking: Whether they have a habit for staying current on required changes rather than discovering them during an audit.
What radiation safety practices do you follow when servicing X-ray and mammography equipment?
What they are checking: Whether they protect themselves and others and understand the regulatory weight of radiation-producing devices.
