Background
The Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging anticipates an opening for a staff MRI
engineer to work on 15T scanner development.
The project involves an NIH-funded ultrahigh field MR scanner comprising a
Magnex/Agilent 13cm horizontal bore magnet operating at 15T interfaced to
a Siemens clinical MR console.
Duties
The MRI engineer will design, simulate, fabricate
and test low noise preamps, electronic circuits and RF coils and associated
equipment for the scanner under the supervision of laboratory or project leaders.
He/she will also perform various diagnostic, design, fabrication and testing tasks
as required. A prime focus of the project is to expand the
number of receiver channels of the current system, and to develop array and varactor
tuned coils suitable for the 60 mm clear bore of the gradient/shim system. The
candidate will interact with researchers from MGH, Harvard and MIT.
Qualifications
Knowledge and experience with general electronics, circuit board design,
radiofrequency circuits and MRI coils is required, including experience with software
simulation of circuits and RF coils. BS through PhD in a relevant field is required,
with salary dependent on academic degree, skill level and experience.
