Job description

Simulation Expert (MRI systems)

Your Role

Developing and applying computational models, mainly in electromagnetics (e.g., RF, EMC) and selectively across thermal, structural, and CFD domains, to guide MRI hardware R&D decisions.

• Translating system‑and subsystem‑level requirements into appropriate mathematical and computational models with the right level of fidelity.
• Evaluating performance, safety, and reliability aspects through simulation and clearly communicating results and limitations.
• Performing concept, feasibility, and trade‑off studies to guide design choices and technology development.
• Ensuring model credibility, documentation, and traceability in line with internal standards and regulatory expectations.
• Supporting system‑level insight by integrating models across multiple physics and engineering domains.
• Planning and prioritizing modelling activities, estimating effort, and reporting progress to stakeholders.
• Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure modelling results are actionable and aligned with project needs.
• Staying up to date with advancements in modelling methods, simulation tools, and medical imaging technology.
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to the capability growth of the HW Modelling team.

Qualifications

• A Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of industry experience in relevant areas.
• 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.

Work Arrangement

• 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.
