Research and development activities may also include cross modality projects (LAFOV PET/CT, PET/MR, CZT SPECT/CT and C13 hyperpolarization) and initiatives to help grow and drive our approach to clinical collaboration.

• Provide technical leadership and expertise for data analytics and solution design.
• Work with an inter-disciplinary GE HealthCare team to translate promising prototypes into product readiness and lead technical/clinical risk retirement towards new product introduction.
• Conduct original research resulting in patent applications, scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at international conferences.
• Develop new features as prototypes and deploy to external collaborators following GE HealthCare design controls processes.
• Effectively communicate technical analyses, results, and ideas to GE HealthCare leaders.
• Identify industry and academic trends in the areas of precision medicine relevant to GE HealthCare.
• Serve as GE HealthCare technical lead on collaborative projects with academic partners on LAFOV PET/CT and PET/MR, hyperpolarization, CZT SPECT/CT and related fields to generate results that are in alignment with GE HealthCare strategic goals.
• Leverage Essen University as an international reference site.
• Stay abreast of advancements in the field and identify opportunities for technological and methodological innovations.
• Optional: Combine knowledge of MRI/MRS for ultrafast C13 hyperpolarized imaging/spectroscopy, engineering, and clinical needs to design and develop new MR capabilities.
• Optional: Evaluate advanced image reconstruction methods in SPECT/CT

• Master’s Degree in an engineering or science field such as Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Math or Physics.
• Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience (Medical Imaging, Image Processing application development preferred) applying theoretical or experiential knowledge to solve real world problems.
• Demonstrated experience, ideally in both, molecular and MR imaging, research and development.
• Experience in interacting with customers in various situations.
• Ability to present complex material to diverse audiences.
• Demonstrated experience in computer programming (Python, MATLAB and C).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Ability to work independently with minimal direction.
• Strong collaboration skills and desire to contribute to a common purpose. Can-do attitude, self-driven, flexible, intellectually curious, willingness to learn new skills and take on new challenges to meet business goals.
• Supporting conferences, symposiums, customer seminars and internal training events. Ability to travel 20-30% of the time after the initial start-up phase in Essen, to be determined amongst the relevant UK Essen and GE HealthCare decision makers.
• Excellent English language communication skills, both oral, and in writing.

• Ph.D. Degree in an engineering or science field such as Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or Radiology.
• Experience in molecular and MR imaging, ideally also in PET/MR. Knowledge of molecular imaging quantitative techniques, image reconstruction for PET, including automatic segmentation techniques.
• German language skills would be appreciated.

• Knowledge of image reconstruction in SPECT/CT would be appreciated.
• Experience with PET dynamic imaging would be appreciated.
• Experience with non-standard PET imaging and quantification would be appreciated.
• Experience with beta-minus and alpha-emitter SPECT imaging would be appreciated.
• Experience with source control tools (Perforce & Git) would be appreciated.
• Basic knowledge of machine learning software frameworks would be appreciated.
• Experience with High Performance Compute or GPU technologies would be appreciated.
• Familiarity with GE HealthCare EPIC Pulse Sequence Development environment and GE HealthCare Orchestra Reconstruction environment would be appreciated.
• Experience in MR hyperpolarization imaging, preferably with C13, would be appreciated.
• Experience in ultrafast imaging technologies, motion correction techniques and MR imaging artefacts would be appreciated.
