Siemens Healthineers is seeking a Systems Engineer - Applied Physicist to provide technical leadership for the system-level integration and performance of the PET/CT image formation chain, from raw data acquisition and corrections through image reconstruction and final clinical image quality.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of medical imaging physics, systems engineering, software, and clinical applications.

You will lead early system performance testing and troubleshooting, develop quantitative image quality assessment methods, define and validate new product functionality, and help integrate emerging technologies into next-generation PET/CT systems.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced imaging physicist or systems engineer who enjoys solving complex, multidisciplinary problems and translating advanced imaging technologies into reliable clinical products that improve patient care.

You are responsible for:


* Owning the system-level integration of the PET/CT image formation chain, ensuring that data acquisition, corrections, reconstruction, and related subsystems work together to deliver high-quality clinical images and system performance.


* Leading early system performance testing and troubleshooting, identifying and resolving complex issues across hardware, firmware, software, and imaging physics.


* Designing and executing image quality and system performance testing, including the development of quantitative methods and algorithms to characterize, evaluate, and optimize imaging performance.


* Driving the integration of new and emerging technologies into PET/CT products by evaluating technical approaches and translating promising methods into practical system capabilities.


* Leading the conceptualization, realization, integration, and validation of new system functionality throughout the development lifecycle and across the life of the product.


* Defining system requirements, specifications, interfaces, integration strategies, test approaches, and validation criteria for new functionality.


* Partnering with multidisciplinary teams across Physics, Software, Hardware, Systems Engineering, Clinical, and Product Management to deliver integrated imaging solutions.


* Investigating and resolving complex customer and field issues related to image quality, image formation, and overall system performance.


* Providing technical guidance and recommendations to engineering teams, project stakeholders, and senior leadership.


* Mentoring and coaching colleagues on complex technical topics related to ima...
