Ultrasound Acoustics Engineer

Job Title

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Ultrasound Acoustics Engineer to play a key role in creating our next generation of ultrasound platforms that are saving lives around the role bridges the gap between hardware signal processing and imaging algorithms ensuring optimal image quality and performance in clinical and preclinical environments. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in ultrasound physics transducersystem interaction acoustic signal processing and image formation as well as strong cross-functional collaboration skills with software hardware and clinical imaging teams.

Your role:

• Lead the integration of acoustic front-end components (transducer arrays beamformers analog front-end) with digital image reconstruction pipelines.

• Drive prototype system integration including verification of acoustic calibration timing synchronization and real-time imaging performance.

• Conduct image quality evaluations across different imaging modes (B-mode Doppler harmonic CEUS elastography etc.).

• Define and validate performance metrics for acoustic and imaging subsystems (e.g. SNR lateral/axial resolution dynamic range).

• Troubleshoot and resolve acoustic or imaging artifacts during development and testing.

• Experience with contrast imaging and other advanced imaging modes (e.g. shearwave imaging)

Youre the right fit if:

• Youve acquired 4 years experience in ultrasound research and/or product development focused on ultrasound system integration and ultrasound imaging signal and image processing if you are holding a Ph.D Degree. 6 years experience would required if you are holding a Master Degree.
