Engineer Xray information

What is an Engineer Xray?

Engineer Xray typically refers to professionals who specialize in the design, operation, and maintenance of X-ray equipment and systems used in various industries, such as healthcare, security, or manufacturing. Their work involves ensuring the safe and effective use of X-ray technology, troubleshooting equipment issues, and sometimes developing new imaging solutions. These engineers often collaborate with medical staff, security personnel, or industrial teams to optimize imaging results and maintain regulatory compliance. They must be knowledgeable about radiation safety and the technical aspects of X-ray machinery.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Engineer Xray?

To thrive as an Engineer Xray, you need a strong background in electrical or biomedical engineering, physics, and a relevant degree or certification in radiological sciences. Familiarity with diagnostic imaging equipment, X-ray generation systems, safety protocols, and specialized maintenance tools is essential. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication are important soft skills for troubleshooting and collaborating with healthcare staff. These skills and qualities ensure equipment reliability, regulatory compliance, and patient safety in medical imaging environments.

How does an Engineer Xray typically collaborate with radiologists and medical staff in a clinical setting?

Engineer Xray professionals frequently work alongside radiologists, technologists, and other healthcare staff to ensure diagnostic imaging equipment functions optimally and safely. Collaboration often involves troubleshooting technical issues, providing training on equipment use, and implementing maintenance schedules to minimize downtime. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as engineers must quickly address any technical concerns raised by clinical staff to support timely and accurate patient care.

What is the difference between Engineer Xray vs Engineer Radiology?

AspectEngineer XrayEngineer Radiology
CertificationsCertified Radiologic Engineer, X-ray Safety CertificationCertified Radiology Engineer, Medical Imaging Certification
Work EnvironmentIndustrial, manufacturing, or security settings involving X-ray equipmentMedical facilities, hospitals, clinics
Industry UsageManufacturing, security, industrial inspectionHealthcare, medical imaging
Job FocusDesign, maintenance, and safety of X-ray systems in non-medical settingsOperation and management of medical radiology equipment

Engineer Xray typically works in industrial or security environments focusing on X-ray system safety and maintenance, while Engineer Radiology is centered on medical imaging in healthcare settings. Both roles require specialized certifications but differ mainly in work environment and industry focus.

Job description

Position Overview:
The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), a Directorate of SLAC, and a national research facility for scientific applications using synchrotron radiation at Stanford University is seeking a Beam Line Engineer with strong methodological, scientific and technical skills for its x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) team. The XAS facilities include a number of beam lines that enable research in areas such as chemistry, catalysis, biology, medical, environmental, and materials sciences, together covering a range from 2-35 keV.. Each beam line is tailored to specific techniques and sciences, spanning a specific x-ray energy range, probing atomic and electronic structure and function of matter over different time scales, necessitating a highly varied approach to instrumentation, sample environment, data acquisition, and data analysis. The beam line facilities are made available to a national and international scientific user community, with SSRL staff providing scientific and technical support in their use.
Your specific responsibilities include:
  • Work as part of the x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) team to provide specialized technical and methodological support for beam line developments and for scientific users.
  • Optimize beam line optics and experimental setups for specific experimental conditions.
  • Independently provide training and experiment support on the use of these beam lines, including instrumentation and software, for scientific users.
  • Provide guidance to scientific users in optimizing data collection during experiments.
  • Contribute to the definition, design, construction and commissioning of in-hutch instrumentation, for example in-hutch optics systems; sample delivery and sample cells/environments ranging from cryogenic to high temperatures, and/or under electrochemical, gaseous, chemical control.
  • Implement, characterize, operate and enhance state-of-the-art facilities, such as x-ray optics, electro mechanical systems, cryogenic systems, x-ray detectors, data acquisition or data analysis software.
  • Work occasional evenings and weekends as part of the on-call user support program.
  • Other duties may also be assigned.

To be successful in this position you will bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, biochemistry, biophysics, mechanical/electrical engineering or related field and 4 or more years of relevant experience such as in development of synchrotron radiation optics, beam line instrumentation or X-ray detectors.
  • Demonstrated excellent written and verbal communications skills.
  • Demonstrated strong ability to interact effectively with a diverse group of scientists, technical staff and user groups; to work well in a team; as well as ability to take individual independent initiative, all in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.

In addition, preferred requirements include:
  • Master's or PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science, biochemistry, biophysics, mechanical/electrical engineering or related field.
  • Direct experience and knowledge of synchrotron hard x-ray absorption spectroscopy beam lines.
  • Experience in instrumentation development and hard x-ray beam line support at a synchrotron radiation facility.
  • Experience in software development for instrumentation control, data acquisition and data analysis. preferably in C/C++, C# or Python. Experience with EPICS-based instrumentation control and readout.
  • Experience with 3D CAD software, preferably Solid Edge.

SLAC employee competencies:
  • Effective Decisions: Uses job knowledge and solid judgment to make quality decisions in a timely manner.
