Job summary

HistoSonics, Inc. is seeking a Principal Ultrasound Engineer to own diagnostic ultrasound image quality across histotripsy platforms.

You will work on two programs in parallel: a next-generation platform in active R&D with B-mode optimization and Doppler modes, and the Abdominal Edison System improving image quality during histotripsy treatment alongside our imaging partner. This is a hands-on role requiring prototyping, implementing, and validating imaging algorithms, with independence to set

Qualifications

• 10+ years in diagnostic ultrasound engineering with a track record as a technical authority on imaging for a commercialized product.
• 4+ years post-degree industry experience.
• Hands-on experience developing and validating ultrasound image processing algorithms.
• Working knowledge of the full ultrasound signal chain: transmit, beamforming, demodulation, detection, scan conversion, display.
• Strong programming ability for algorithm prototyping and production-quality implementations.
• Direct experience with RF and IQ ultrasound data, phantoms, and image quality test methods.
• Demonstrated ability to set technical direction for external OEM or development partners.
• Medical device product development experience under design controls (ISO 13485, 21 CFR 820).
• Ability to work with minimal day-to-day direction across two concurrent programs.

Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, and validate B-mode image optimization algorithms (speckle reduction, edge detection, adaptive filtering, compounding, dynamic range/gain).
• Own imaging modes definitions including color and power Doppler, coordinating with OEM partners.
• Serve as imaging SME during histotripsy treatment for targeting, visualization, monitoring.
• Define objective image quality metrics and acceptance criteria across phantom, tissue, and clinical data.
• Set technical direction for OEMs and imaging partners; review and verify image quality.
• Address imaging artifacts from concurrent therapy delivery and synchronization challenges.
• Support design controls deliverables and regulatory strategy (verification/validation, IEC/FDA guidance).
• Provide hands-on imaging support during lab, preclinical, and clinical activities.
• Outline multi-year imaging roadmap across platforms.
• Collaborate with product, clinical, and regulatory teams to build imaging literacy.
