Strong hands‑on experience with commercial simulation tools (e.g. Ansys, CST, Sim4Life, COMSOL, MATLAB Simscape/Simulink). Programming experience in MATLAB and/or Python for model development, automation, and analysis (C/C++ is a plus). Experience in medical technology, preferably MR R&D or a closely related domain. A solid foundation in mechatronics, applied mathematics and physics, with the ability to understand, explain, and validate the underlying assumptions and limitations of simulation models. Demonstrated research mindset, such as publications, workflow improvements, or new modelling techniques.

You will stand out if you also have:

Proven ability to translate complex system‑level challenges into computational and mathematical models. Familiarity with AI‑ or data‑enabled modelling approaches, including surrogate or reduced‑order models. Experience working in multidisciplinary, global R&D environments, engaging effectively with engineers, scientists, and stakeholders. A proactive, innovative mindset with the ability to work independently while contributing strongly to team objectives. Hands‑on experience with RF transmit/receive coils and birdcage resonators or other MRI components.

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.
