• Experience with X-ray/CT physics, imaging pipelines, and documentation practices.

Responsibilities

• Define and own system-level image quality metrics and acceptance criteria.
• Design and execute repeatable image-quality test protocols and golden-sample workflows.
• Publish dashboards and control charts.
• Build Python/Matlab analysis pipelines to compute MTF, SNR/CNR, and other figures of merit.
• Develop and evaluate calibration, preprocessing, reconstruction, and artifact-suppression methods.
• Prototype algorithms and quantify improvements against baselines.
• Lead image-quality activities for NPI programs including verification plans and derisking experiments.
• Lead root-cause investigations for field and production image-quality issues and define corrective actions.
• Provide tier-3 support for image-quality escalations and coordinate multidisciplinary investigations.
• Create and deliver CT theory and practical-scanning training.
• Mentor peers in artifact recognition and mitigation.
• Define SOPs for image-quality checks in manufacturing and service.
• Author and maintain protocols, procedures, and release notes.
