MRI RF Coil Design Engineer

InkSpace Imaging’s vision is to transform the MRI experience for every patient by providing superior comfort and performance at lower cost with non-threatening lightweight MRI receive coils that are customized to each patient. We target to offer a wide selection of flexible, tailored, lightweight MRI coils for Diagnostic Imaging and Multi-modality Systems, enabled by innovative lower-cost printing technology combined with unique MRI coil designs, that increase patient access to MRI at elevated levels of comfort and performance.
We are looking for a RF Coil Design Engineer to join our growing team at our flexible electronics manufacturing facility in the Tri-Valley of the Eastern San Francisco Bay area.

In this role, a successful applicant will:

Design, develop, and test RF circuitry for novel flexible MRI receive coils.
Implement new amplifier, PCB layout, and resonant component designs to meet safety and imaging standards.
Ensure design compliance with federal and international safety standards for medical devices (ANSI 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-33, and ISO 10993-5/10).

An applicant must have:

The ability to analyze circuits from schematics and understand the design relationship between schematic and printed circuit board (PCB).
Strong understanding of the fundamental principles of electromagnetic fields and/or antennas, including transmission line theory. Knowledge of EM behavior at RF (radio frequency) is a plus.
Understanding of electronics and electronics design at a component level.
Familiarity with circuit board design software and electromagnetic simulation software for device performance analysis.
Experience with computation software such as MATLAB, MathWorks, Python, etc.
Familiarity with RF lab equipment (oscilloscope, power supply, network analyzer, noise figure meter operation).
Preference will be given to candidates with the following:
Familiarity with flexible PCB design.
Substantial experience with general PCB design tools and methods.
Experience in the design and development of RF circuits for medical devices. MR-specific RF design is preferred, but not required.
Electro-mechanical design experience, especially design for anatomical compliance or related human factors.
Wireless design experience. Familiarity with electro-magnetic design software such as HFSS or CST is preferred, but not required.
Quality Management systems that are 21 CFR PART 820 compliant.
Experience in highly-regulated design environments, with emphasis on FDA.

Qualifications:

BS or greater in physics, mathematics, or engineering. Master’s degree strongly preferred.
The ability to work majority on-site.
Demonstrated ability to execute design tasks in a team environment.
