Software Engineer - Image Reconstruction (C++/CUDA)
Join the Computed Tomography (CT) High-Performance Computing team and help build the future of medical imaging. Your work will reach clinicians and patients in Philips CT scanners around the world.
Your role:
- Design and develop our next-generation, GPU-accelerated platform architecture.
- Partner with architects, engineers, physicists, and stakeholders to translate complex signal and image processing algorithms into scalable, high-performance implementations—balancing image quality against computational cost.
- Collaborate with CT platform teams to design, develop, test, maintain, and deploy an industry-leading CT reconstruction software platform.
- Analyze algorithm specifications and prototypes to identify efficient compute designs.
- Apply AI both ways—using AI-assisted development to speed feature delivery, and building learned models that approximate expensive physics with fast, accurate equivalents.
- Deliver solutions with a strong focus on end users, quality (QMS/regulatory standards), performance, safety, and security.
- This hybrid role is based in Cleveland, OH, with three flexible days in the office and two remote days each week; regular travel is not typically required.
You're the right fit if:
- You have a bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field; a background in the theory of medical image formation is a plus.
- A minimum of 5+ years of professional experience developing and maintaining complex software systems in C++. You are proficient in image and signal processing. Experience with MATLAB and Python is helpful, but strong C++ proficiency is the primary requirement for this role.
- You have experience with GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL, or HIP), or you are adaptable and eager to transition into GPU-centric development. You are energized by performance engineering—profiling, parallelization, and squeezing every last bit of throughput from modern GPUs.
- Curiosity about applying machine learning to accelerate scientific or physics computation is a strong plus. You have ability and desire to collaborate closely with CT global development teams across the world.
- You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.
How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
This is an office role.
