We are looking for a Software Development Engineer, to be part of our multicultural team. In our Image Reconstruction team, we develop state-of-the-art algorithms and software for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image processing and reconstruction.

Varian’s treatment delivery systems use our software to reconstruct 3D and 4D images of the patient’s anatomy. The images are nominally used for patient positioning on the treatment machine, with recent advances in image quality opening up their potential to be used also for replanning and adaptive radiotherapy.

Our work focuses on further optimizing 3D and 4D image quality and developing innovative and product-oriented algorithms in Varian’s clinical solutions.

In a team of six highly competent scientists and software engineers, you will be responsible for the design and implementation of algorithms in the CBCT image reconstruction domain.

Particular focus will be on enhancing the performance of the algorithms both in terms of execution speed and image quality.

Job Responsibilities :

Use parallel programming (GPU) to enhance the performance of existing reconstruction algorithms

Implement new methods, conduct feasibility studies, and integrate selected algorithms in Varian’s product line

Perform imaging experiments in the lab for testing, proof-of-concept, and troubleshooting investigations

Document design and test specifications of CBCT reconstruction algorithms

Assist product support engineering (PSE) in troubleshooting

Conduct literature research in the CT / CBCT reconstruction domain

Job Qualifications :

M.Sc. or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical discipline

Familiarity with high-performance computing

Expertise in compiled programming languages (C++ and CUDA; other languages are a plus)

Proficiency with modern version control systems (e.g., Git)

Analytical and highly structured mind

Strong sense of teamwork and source code ownership

Fluency in spoken and written English, and German is a plus.

You are focused, and systematic and work independently. You like to design scientific experiments and be hands-on in a laboratory.

You are thorough and organize your data in a highly structured manner. You enjoy solving complex problems, where you can bring in your experience and expand your knowledge every day.

You are open to discussing ideas and elaborate solutions with a team of scientists and software engineers. You have strong problem-solving skills and can find creative solutions to system issues and user problems.

To all recruitment agencies :

Siemens Healthineers' recruitment is internally managed, with external support permitted only when a qualified supplier has established a formal contract with us.

Unsolicited candidate submissions and referrals, absent a current supplier contract, do not establish consent and are ineligible for fees.

We delete and destroy unsolicited information, thus, would recommend you refrain from any such practices. Your adherence to our policies is appreciated.
