In a hospital: to maintain current equipment, perform preventive and corrective maintenance and provide feedback to the hospital administration about the current status of functioning of equipment. They are also responsible for advising the hospital and making decisions on updating equipment and providing better solutions.

In a company, however, the role depends on the work the company does and the responsibilities assigned to the engineer. This can include anything from design, manufacturing and assembly of biomedical equipment, to performing installations, or just performing corrective and/or preventive maintenance on already distributed equipment, or even sales and marketing of the company's devices.
