Could you help build, maintain or deploy a state-of-the-art medical imaging instrument? Join a team of engineers and scientists working in collaboration with medical researchers on the application of light for measurement and diagnosis in living biological systems. The appointee will play a key role in developing systems based on a sophisticated technology platform; optical coherence tomography, a new medical imaging modality. Imaging systems are being developed for cancer detection, for scar assessment and for physiological studies of the human airway. Our projects are about engineering and operating complete systems, from designing the mechanics of rotating micro-optics, to optical instrument design, to analogue electronics, signal processing and real-time software, to standing shoulder to shoulder with medical researchers to understand the data and what it signifies.
We are seeking a software engineer to develop the software systems at the heart of new medical scanners. Tasks will range from developing low level code to interface and control hardware, to user interface design, to development of image processing and visualisation algorithms to extract clinically important results.
The applicant is expected to have extensive experience in C++ and at least one of the following: software engineering, embedded systems, control systems, real-time systems, image processing, or visualisation. A PhD is desirable, although industry-equivalent experience is acceptable. Beyond technical strength, we also want someone with a strong work ethic, a practical approach and who gets excited about achieving an outcome and will cope with strict deadlines.
