Together, we can beat cancer.
We bring together the world's best talent to realize our vision of a world without fear of cancer. Our team works passionately to develop and deliver easy-to-use, efficient oncology solutions.
As part of an incredible community of scientists, clinicians, developers, researchers, professionals, and skilled specialists, we push the boundaries of what's possible to improve people's lives around the world. We foster a culture of inclusivity where every individual's power and potential can be unleashed.
Our mission is to make a positive impact and achieve continued success. If you're driven to join us in this important endeavor, we want to hear from you.
We're based at our R&D site in Dättwil, Switzerland, where we specialize in the development of imaging software and hardware as well as treatment management systems for radiation therapy cancer treatment. Our Oncology Systems team creates innovative solutions that can make a difference in helping to create a world without fear of cancer.
In our Image Reconstruction team, we develop cutting-edge algorithms and software for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image processing and reconstruction. Varian's treatment delivery systems use our software to reconstruct 3D and 4D images of the patient's anatomy. The images are nominally used for patient positioning on the treatment machine, with recent advances in image quality opening up their potential to be used also for replanning and adaptive radio-therapy. Our work focuses on further optimizing 3D and 4D image quality and developing innovative and product-oriented algorithms in Varian's clinical solutions.
Job Responsibilities:
* Use parallel programming (GPU) to enhance performance of existing reconstruction algorithms
* Implement new methods, conduct feasibility studies and integrate selected algorithms in Varian's product line
* Conducts code and design reviews in cross-functional teams
* Perform imaging experiments in the lab for testing, proof-of-concept and troubleshooting investigations
* Document design and test specifications of CBCT reconstruction algorithms
* Assist product support engineering (PSE) in troubleshooting
* Maintain up-to-date knowledge of research in the CT/CBCT reconstruction domain
Job Qualifications:
* M.Sc. or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
* Familiarity with high-performance computing
* Expertise in compiled programming languages (C++, C# and CUDA; other languages are a plus)
* Proficiency with modern version control systems (e.g., Git)
* Analytical and highly structured mind
* Strong sense of teamwork and source code ownership
* Fluency in spoken and written English, German is a plus
You are focused, systematic and work independently. You like to design scientific experiments and be hands-on in a laboratory. You are thorough and organize your data in a highly structured manner. You enjoy solving complex problems, where you can bring in your experience and expand your knowledge every day. You are open to discuss ideas and elaborate solutions with a team of scientists and software engineers. You have strong problem-solving skills and can find creative solutions to system issues and user problems.
We celebrate and value the distinctly beautiful and intersectional identities of each of our employees. We are a mirror of our patient-base, which allows us to innovate. Big ideas come from everywhere, and the best ideas are fostered by our unique individual experiences. At Varian, we encourage you to bring your whole self to work and believe your bold and authentic perspective will help to power more victories over cancer.
