Job Title
Ultrasound Acoustics Engineer
Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Ultrasound Acoustics Engineer to play a key role in creating our next generation of ultrasound platforms that are saving lives around the world. This role bridges the gap between
hardware, signal processing, and imaging algorithms
, ensuring optimal image quality and performance in clinical and preclinical environments. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in
ultrasound physics, transducer–system interaction, acoustic signal processing, and image formation
, as well as strong cross-functional collaboration skills with software, hardware, and clinical imaging teams.
Your role:
- Lead the
integration of acoustic front-end components
(transducer arrays, beamformers, analog front-end) with digital image reconstruction pipelines. - Drive
prototype system integration
, including verification of acoustic calibration, timing synchronization, and real-time imaging performance. - Conduct
image quality evaluations
across different imaging modes (B-mode, Doppler, harmonic, CEUS, elastography, etc.). - Define and validate
performance metrics
for acoustic and imaging subsystems (e.g., SNR, lateral/axial resolution, dynamic range). - Troubleshoot and resolve acoustic or imaging artifacts during development and testing.
- Experience with contrast imaging and other advanced imaging modes (e.g., shearwave imaging)
You're the right fit if:
- You've acquired 4+ years' experience in ultrasound research and/or product development focused on ultrasound system integration, and ultrasound imaging, signal and image processing, if you are holding a Ph.D Degree. 6+ years' experience would required if you are holding a Master Degree.
- Experience working in a clinical environment with clinical professionals (sonographers) focused on clinical science/research and translational research.
- PhD/Master in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science.
- You have strong technical capabilities (Python, MATLAB, C++).
Your Team:
The Ultrasound Acoustics Engineer will be part of the China R&D team AND also the overall acoustics team based out of North America. This role will be in charge of new system integration and Image Quality evaluation. As part of Philips ultrasound, you will have the opportunity to work with the best engineers in medical ultrasound and be part of a high functioning team. You will be making a positive difference each and every day by developing ultrasound products that are helping to save lives all around the world.
