As Image Quality Engineer (f/m/d) you will actively shape the image quality of our ultrasound systems and make a significant contribution to the advancement of modern imaging technologies. With a strong hands on scanning focus, technical expertise, and a keen sense for visual perception, you will work on optimizing and integrating image quality related features and technologies across the entire product lifecycle. You will act as a technical interface between engineering, clinical experts, and product teams, and ensure that image quality is technically excellent, clinically meaningful, and visually compelling.
Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Accountable for the quality of own work. Subject to direct operations supervision/prescribed work instructions/systems checking. Executes within a well-defined operations framework.
