RF Systems Engineer - MRI Hardware & Signal Chain

Chipiron; Paris; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Chipiron is building a radically new generation of MRI systems in Paris. We seek exceptional engineers who own problems, think from first principles, and move quickly to make impact.

Your background matters less than trajectory; you should be able to show excellence and direct communication, even when challenging assumptions. This is an always-open opportunity, with ongoing review of strong fits.

Qualifications

• Experience in RF and analog electronics design.
• Ability to turn complex RF designs into working hardware.
• Strong problem-solving and ownership mindset.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize RF and analog electronic systems to maximize signal quality and performance in challenging low-field MRI environments.
• Own the RF signal chain. Develop and characterize RF coils, transmit/receive chains, amplification, filtering, matching, tuning, and signal conditioning systems.
• Turn complex RF designs into working hardware. Take ownership of simulation, schematic design, PCB development, prototyping, bring-up, and characterization of RF and analog subsystems.
• Solve demanding electromagnetic challenges. Investigate noise, interference, coupling, and signal integrity issues using RF simulations, laboratory measurements, and systematic troubleshooting.
• Prove performance through rigorous testing. Define meaningful RF performance metrics, develop verification methods, and continuously improve the reliability and performance of RF subsystems.
• Make RF work at the system level. Collaborate with electronics, software, and MRI engineering teams to integrate RF subsystems into a fully functional imaging system.
