You will connect hardware, physics, scanning, reconstruction and workflow software to support MR system performance, image quality, design decisions and verification.\nYou will work closely with hardware and MR physics experts, while owning the software design solution, implementation quality, integration and validation of modelling capabilities. You will collaborate with global and local R&D teams across device control, scanning, reconstruction and system engineering.\nYour role\nOwn the software design, implementation, integration and maintenance of MR hardware and system modelling capabilities.\nTranslate MR hardware and physics behavior into robust software models that support device control, scanning, reconstruction, workflow and image-quality decisions.\nDevelop reusable C++ software components, APIs, modelling workflows, configuration mechanisms and test frameworks; use Python and/or MATLAB for analysis, automation and validation.\nIntegrate model outputs from hardware, electromagnetic, circuit or multi-physics experts into MR domain software; direct ownership of RF coil, gradient coil or magnet design is not required.\nDefine model assumptions, accuracy targets, interfaces, verification methods and limitations; correlate model predictions with bench, scanner and phantom measurements.\nDevelop data-driven, physics-based or hybrid models and support technical investigations, performance optimization and root-cause analysis.\nEnsure modelling software is performant, maintainable, testable and traceable, using sound software architecture, code review, CI/CD and version-control practices.\nCollaborate with MR physicists, hardware engineers, scanning and reconstruction engineers, system architects and clinical scientists; communicate findings clearly and comply with applicable quality processes.\nYou are the right fit if you have\nBachelor's, Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Physics or a related field.\nSubstantial professional software-development experience, including modern C++ design and implementation, debugging, testing, performance optimization and maintainable architecture.\nProficiency in Python and/or MATLAB for numerical modelling, data analysis, automation and model validation.\nExperience developing simulation, modelling, computational-imaging or scientific-software products, including reusable APIs, libraries, workflows and configuration management.\nPractical Windows development experience, including Git, building systems, code review\n, unit/integration testing, CI/CD, profiling and debugging of complex multi-component (sub)systems.\nAbility to analyze complex technical problems, define interfaces and validation strategies, and communicate clearly in spoken and written English.\nPreferred experience\nExperience with MRI/MR, CT, ultrasound, scientific instruments, robotics, industrial control, simulation software or computational imaging.\nKnowledge of MR image acquisition, MR system components, B0/B1 behavior, SNR, SAR, image artefacts or image-quality evaluation.\nFamiliarity with electromagnetic, circuit or multi-physics simulation tools, such as ANSYS HFSS, ANSYS Maxwell, CST Studio Suite, COMSOL, SPICE or equivalent; the ability to consume and validate model outputs in software is more important than direct hardware-design ownership. Experience with GPU/CUDA, real-time software, numerical optimization, medical-device software or regulated high-technology product development is strongly preferred.\nWhat you will gain\nYou will contribute directly to the development of advanced MR systems that support better diagnostic imaging and patient care. The role provides broad technical exposure across hardware, physics, software and clinical applications in a global MR R&D environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4094,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"China","iso":"CN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health & Medical Electronics","Respiratory & Sleep Devices","Patient Monitoring","EHR & Clinical Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T11:10:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":12,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/philips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/philips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T09:01:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12895,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":13838},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=13838"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fphilips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fphilips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fphilips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/philips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fphilips-senior-methods-hw-modelling-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3328321}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"philips.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3328321},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
