Job Description

Role Summary

Design, implement, and optimize MRI image reconstruction algorithms and software, spanning classical methods (FFT/parallel imaging/compressed sensing) and deep learning-based reconstructions. Collaborate with physics, clinical, and platform teams to translate prototypes into clinical-grade products.

Key Responsibilities

• Feature and Algorithm Development: Implement MRI application feature, Design, implement, and maintain application services and APIs

• Deep Learning Recon: Build and train reconstruction networks (UNet/VarNet/physics-guided, score-based) using PyTorch/TF

• Performance Optimization: Improve performance, reliability, observability, and developer tooling, GPU/CUDA acceleration, multithreading, memory optimization for real-time/near–real-time recon

• Data Pipeline: Handle k-space data, calibration, coil combination, ESPIRiT maps, bias correction, post-processing

• Engineering Excellence: Write clean, testable code; unit/integration tests; CI/CD; containerization and deployment

• Standards & Integration: Work with DICOM/ISMRMRD; integrate with Gadgetron/BART/internal platforms

• Validation & Translation: Partner with MR physicists and clinicians for experiments, benchmarking, and productization
• Collaborate on architecture, technical roadmaps, and cross-team initiatives
• Participate in agile processes: planning, estimation, retros, and on-call (as needed)

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in CS, EE, Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Applied Math, or related field

• Strong math and signal processing foundation (linear algebra, optimization, Fourier/sampling theory)

• Proficient in modern C++ with solid engineering practices

• Knowledge of MRI reconstruction fundamentals: k-space, sampling trajectories (Cartesian/Spiral/Radial), parallel imaging

• Expertise in at least one of:

• Optimization/Inverse Problems: ISTA/FISTA/ADMM/PGD

• Parallel Imaging: SENSE/GRAPPA/ESPIRiT

• Non-Cartesian Recon: NUFFT, Toeplitz/blocked-Toeplitz approaches

• Deep Learning Recon: End-to-end or physics-constrained networks, Plug-and-Play

• Comfortable with Linux, Git, debugging, and performance profiling

Nice to Have

• CUDA/CuFFT/CuBLAS, OpenMP, SIMD vectorization

• Experience with git, jenkens, devops, etc.

• Hands-on with real MR data and sequences (EPI, 3D GRE/SE, VIBE, bSSFP, DWI/DTI, ASL, MRE)

• DICOM/HL7, PACS/workstation integration, and medical software compliance (IEC 62304, ISO 13485)

• Publications/competitions (e.g., fastMRI) or open-source contributions

Soft Skills

• Self-driven, outcome-oriented, turning research code into production

• Strong communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration

• Documentation and experiment reproducibility mindset
