This is a full-time position.
This is a hybrid position. We'll ask that you spend at least one day per week in the office on a regular basis. A few times per year, there will be a week where you need to be there 3-4 days.
Work hours are flexible, but meetings are typically scheduled between 9 am and 5 pm Eastern Standard Time.
The starting salary range for this role is $150,000 - $170,000.
The hiring manager for this position is Stephen McFadyen, and you can see his Linkedin profile here.

In this role, you'll be expected to:

Optimize gradient coils, shim coils, and RF coils (both transmitter and receiver) using multi-objective and constrained optimization algorithms.
Build accurate and efficient optimization models using finite element analysis tools (primarily COMSOL) and Python-based simulation workflows.
Apply advanced numerical methods - like k-means clustering, multi-goal optimization, coarse modeling, and refined model validation - to meet targeted coil performance specs.
Design, simulate, and validate practical coil geometries.
Bring simulations into the real world by contributing to the fabrication, testing, and validation of coil prototypes.
Help improve and expand our in-house computational tools, optimization scripts, and modeling workflows.
Document your work clearly - from optimization methods to test procedures and validation results - so others can understand and build on it.
Operate within our Quality Management System (QMS), ensuring your work aligns with safety, regulatory, and security standards.

You might be right for this role if you:

Hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Computational Science, or a related field (we prefer an advanced degree).
Have a strong grasp of numerical optimization techniques, especially multi-objective optimization and clustering methods.
Are experienced with COMSOL Multiphysics for eletromagnetics simulation and Python-based optimization frameworks.
Have some experience with PCB design and layout.
Bring hands-on experience with coil fabrication, testing, and validation.
Have experience working within a regulated environment, such as medical devices or aerospace.
Can iterate rapidly from simulation to prototype validation, refining models based on empirical feedback.
Ask smart questions, challenge assumptions, and catch things others might miss.
Take ownership of your work, but also thrive as part of a multidisciplinary team working toward a shared mission.
Write and speak with clarity, adapting your style for different audiences to ensure shared understanding.
