About the role

Study key component interactions (e.g., magnet / gradient / body coil) within MRI systems and propose solutions that improve overall system performance.
You bring structure to complex problems-using data, testing, and simulation to guide decisions.
You contribute to a culture where people feel respected, supported, and empowered to do their best work.

Lead Electrical & RF (Radiofrequency) Coil Engineer - MRI
As a Lead Engineer, you will design and implement RF solutions that optimize cost, manufacturability, reliability, and serviceability of the final product.
You will develop new component and product designs for the RF Body Coil and Transmit Chain components, and you will also own and maintain parts of the existing installed base.
You will contribute across the full product lifecycle-partnering closely with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and field teams to deliver robust designs.
Design and develop RF electrical components and interconnects for MRI body coils, spanning both high‑power and low‑power applications.
Perform design and analysis of RF transmit/receive components and printed circuit board (PCB) elements (e.g., birdcage antenna structures, circuit boards).
Use PCB design software to create circuit boards intended for RF applications.
Engage in all phases of new product development, including: concept development, architecture, documentation, detailed design, prototyping, testing, cost considerations, supplier interfaces, manufacturing introduction, and service support.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure product performance, quality, reliability, and smooth integration into the broader MRI system.
Participate in-and when needed, lead-prototype build activities to ensure builds align with design intent; recommend design experiments and tests to validate performance and drive improvements.

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent technical degree).
Minimum 2 years of engineering experience.
Experience using electrical circuit and/or EM (electromagnetic) simulation tools.

Experience with Electrical CAD software (e.g., Cadence) and computational/simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, XFdtd).
Experience with MRI system operation.
Experience with numerical analysis tools and optimization methods.
Hands‑on hardware experience with mechanical systems and components.
Comfort collaborating with cross‑functional, multidisciplinary teams.
Demonstrated leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills (this can be through technical leadership, mentoring, project ownership, or informal team leadership).
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
