Key Responsibilities:

• Design and conduct experiments involving human subjects and biomimicking phantoms to study ultrasound propagation through human tissue.
• Develop sophisticated data-analysis methods and models to better understand ultrasound interactions.
• Design, build, and test prototypes that pave the way for innovative research directions.
• Formulate strategic research plans and lead their execution to advance our technology.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and refine prototypes toward higher fidelity integrations.

Minimum Qualifications:

• PhD degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Acoustics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years experience in experimental and analytical methods for wave propagation through human tissue, specifically using ultrasound technologies.
• Proven expertise with ultrasound transducers and relevant technological tools like Ansys, Comsol, MATLAB, Python, or C++.
• A strong foundation in either Computer Science or Computer Engineering.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced design experience with transducer assembly and shear-wave ultrasound techniques.
• Proficiency in mechanical design software such as Solid Works or AutoCAD.
• Experience in acoustics non-destructive evaluation and complex data analysis methods relevant to structural health monitoring or seismology.
