The Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR) at the University
of Minnesota is seeking a research engineer to perform computation
electromagnetic modeling. The successful candidate will simulate
radiofrequency (RF) head and body coils to characterize for
ultra-high field MRI for whole body human scanners up to 10.5 Tesla
field strength. Duties will include -
* Perform full 3D electromagnetic simulations of MRI coils to
determine electric and magnetic fields in a frequency range of tens
to hundreds of MHz.
* Create CAD models and assemblies to accurately represent 3D
geometry of conductors, dielectrics, and tissues.
* Use commercial electromagnetic and circuit simulation tools
including to perform co-simulation of multi-channel RF coils
arrays.
* Calculate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) to determine RF power
limits for coil operation subject to international standards (IEC
60601-2-33).
* Validate of EM modeling results with experimental data.
* Characterize RF coils for predictive performance, efficiency, and
safety in biomedical applications.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
* Advanced degree in electrical engineering, physics, medical
physics, computer science, or biomedical engineering, plus at least
one year of research training.
* Knowledge of common computational electromagnetic techniques
(FEM, FDTD, MoM) and an understanding of the relative merits and
weaknesses for a given simulation problem.
* Ability to use commercial Full Wave EM simulation and
RF/microwave circuit design tools such as Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave
Studio, Sim4Life.
* Familiarity with popular CAD design tools such as Solidworks,
Fusion360, etc.
* Familiarity with Matlab, Python or other data analysis and
visualization programming environments.
* Familiarity with Windows and Linux compute environments.
* Communicate with other scientists and engineers to produce data
for scientific presentations and publications.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Strong background in MRI physics antenna, RF, and microwave
circuit design.
* Knowledge of RF materials properties and measurement
techniques.
* Execute High Performance Compute (HPC) workflows in Linux and/or
Windows.
* Familiarity with HPC resource mgmt software (i.e. slurm) and GPU
compute and hardware acceleration workflows (i.e., Nvidia cuda)
used in parallel computing and EM solvers.
* Experience with NVIDIA Tesla accelerated computing
environments.
* Scripting and automation using vendor APIs such as Python, VBA,
ECMAScript.
* Experience with EE/RF lab equipment including network analyzers,
oscilloscopes, etc.
