Your Role:
Key Responsibilities
1. MR Domain & Clinical Expertise
- Strong understanding of MR imaging principles
- Expertise in clinical feature development and image quality (IQ) optimization
- Ability to translate clinical requirements into software solutions
- Exposure to advanced imaging techniques (e.g., acceleration methods, full FOV imaging, perfusion imaging)
2. Clinical Feature Development & Delivery
- Lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced clinical software features for Neuro MR solutions.
- Own end-to-end feature lifecycle—from concept and architecture to validation and release readiness.
- Contribute to yearly clinical releases (e.g., RSNA), ensuring alignment with roadmap and timeline commitments.
- Drive innovation through prototyping and early clinical validation studies to improve patient outcomes and workflow efficiency
3. Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Develop high-level and detailed software designs aligned with system requirements and reference architectures.
- Ensure robust, scalable, and high-quality software implementation in compliance with regulatory and product standards.
- Lead design reviews, FMEAs, and technical discussions to ensure quality and risk mitigation.
- Drive improvements in image quality (IQ) through deep domain expertise and collaboration with system engineering teams
4. Cross-functional Collaboration
- Collaborate closely with Clinical Science and Clinical Applications teams to refine clinical requirements and validate solutions.
- Work with program teams, system architects, and product management to align feature development with business and customer needs.
- Engage with stakeholders to incorporate clinical feedback, expert testing insights, and customer use cases.
5. Innovation & Productivity Enablement
- Leverage advanced tools (e.g., AI-based tooling like Copilot) to improve development efficiency and debugging effectiveness.
- Contribute to new clinical concepts and future roadmap initiatives (e.g., adaptive imaging, advanced reconstruction techniques).
- Support early-stage solution development and technology exploration aligned with long-term clinical strategy.
You Are a Great Fit If:
- 6 to 10 years of experience in MR Imaging domain
- Proven experience in developing clinical software features, including design, implementation, and validation
- Solid foundation in software architecture and system design with the ability to translate clinical needs into scalable solutions
- Strong programming experience in C++ (performance-critical systems) and Python (prototyping and data analysis)
- Experience in imaging algorithms and reconstruction techniques, with a focus on performance and IQ improvement
- Understanding of Autonomous MR concepts, including adaptive imaging, workflow automation, and intelligent systems
- Experience with software quality processes, including test automation, CI/CD, and regulated development environments
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in complex system environments
- Ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams and drive technical alignment
- Experience using modern development tools and AI-assisted coding to improve efficiency
- Demonstrated ability to mentor, guide, and influence teams in a non-hierarchical environment
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 role is an office-based role.
