About ViewRay Systems

ViewRay Systems, Inc. is a technology company seeking to provide the global radiation therapy community with advanced medical instruments incorporating the most capable and highest level of technology possible. Our belief is that only significant technological innovation can enable society to conquer disease. Our mission is to dare to change the paradigms of medicine and solve “impossible” technical problems to enable clinicians to effect a cure to save precious human lives, mitigate pain and suffering, and enhance quality of life. Our vision is to become the world’s leader in producing highly-effective innovative technology to cure cancer.

ViewRay Systems designs, manufactures, and markets the MRIdian A3i® radiation therapy system. The MRIdian A3i system is designed to treat patients with the smallest radiation therapy margins available with the highest patient throughput demonstrated for the most complicated cases. The MRIdian A3i system treats by aligning the sharpest radiation therapy beam on the market to diagnostic quality magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the patient, adapts the treatment plan to the reality of the patient, and then uses the real-time MRIs to control the beam and record real‑time doses delivered to the patient.

If you are driven by a passion for innovation and want to be part of a team that is changing the world, we invite you to explore the opportunities available at ViewRay Systems.
