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

Hands-on experience with RF transmit/receive coils and birdcage resonators or other MRI components
How we work together:
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
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.
