EN8715 - Staff Scientist - Imaging
About The Position
Mindray is seeking a Staff Scientist (Imaging) to advance ultrasound imaging performance and image quality across its premium medical imaging systems. The role focuses on optimizing imaging control parameters and transducer performance to support high-quality clinical imaging. The scientist will work with imaging scientists, engineers, and clinical sonographers to refine system performance and explore approaches that advance ultrasound technology. The position includes probe-specific optimization of imaging parameters across modes such as B-mode and color Doppler; applying acoustics or related expertise to improve transducer performance; configuring parameters through SQL databases; and using theoretical modeling, MATLAB simulations, and experimental testing. Work also includes measurements with imaging phantoms and human subjects in controlled research and clinical environments, development of signal-processing algorithms and simulation tools, and technical documentation. The role is primarily office-based, using standard laboratory and office equipment. Work is mostly sedentary, with occasional standing or walking during testing or collaboration. Infrequent travel may be required, approximately one to two clinical trips per year.
Requirements
- PhD in signal-processing-based engineering, applied physics, electrical engineering, or a related discipline; an MS with exceptional relevant experience may also be considered.
- Strong experimental and analytical skills.
- Experience with MATLAB or similar signal-processing toolboxes.
- Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities.
- Comfort collaborating within small technical teams.
- Strong written, verbal, and organizational communication skills.
Responsibilities
- Lead probe-specific optimization of imaging parameters to improve ultrasound image quality across multiple imaging modes, including B-mode and color Doppler.
- Apply expertise in acoustics or related fields such as optics, radar, or signal processing to optimize ultrasound transducer performance for clinical imaging applications.
- Configure and refine imaging parameters through SQL databases using insights from theoretical modeling, MATLAB simulations, and experimental testing.
- Conduct measurements using imaging phantoms and human subjects in controlled research and clinical environments.
- Partner with imaging scientists, engineers, and in-house clinical sonographers to guide system optimization and align performance with clinical needs.
- Support refinement of existing transducers based on clinical and market feedback.
- Contribute to development of new transducer designs and imaging capabilities.
- Identify unexpected imaging behaviors or system issues and collaborate with technical experts to determine solutions.
- Explore new approaches to advance medical ultrasound imaging through independent research and experimentation.
- Develop signal-processing algorithms, simulation tools, and software routines.
- Use technologies such as MATLAB, C, DSP, GPU computing, and related signal-processing tools.
- Produce technical documentation supporting imaging research and development.
