Philips Biomedical Engineering Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Job Title
Research Scientist - Computed Tomography (Orange, OH)
Job Description
Research Scientist - Computed Tomography (Orange, OH)
As an important member of the Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging Physics and Algorithm team, the Research Scientist will develop innovative physics-based solutions/corrections and support medical imaging platform needs by leading image quality improvements in CT by developing cutting edge Photon Counting systems.
Your role:

• Apply system-level engineering approach to develop CT/X-ray imaging features, focusing on signal and image processing, CT reconstruction, and calibration to optimize image quality. Leverages strong systems-level and scanner experience to ensure end-to-end performance across the imaging chain.
• Investigate and resolve image quality issues during product introduction and from the installed base, communicating findings clearly to stakeholders. Delivers safe, effective, and well-documented solutions based on rigorous data analysis.
• Develop and enhance R&D tools for physics-based simulation and image formation, including benchmarks, dataflow requirements, and Software Requirement Specifications. Works primarily in MATLAB, with increasing use of Python and optional C++ for performance-critical components.
• Maintain deep expertise in CT physics and advanced processing algorithms, with strong emphasis on photon-counting CT as a top priority. Brings additional knowledge in spectral, dual-energy, and multi-energy CT, as well as cone beam CT, enabling improved material differentiation and image quality optimization.
• Drive innovation by owning the CT imaging physics roadmap and aligning with business strategy across clinical, marketing, and systems teams. Stays current on emerging technologies such as AI/deep learning, contributes to IP and publications, and represents the organization in regulatory and industry engagements.

You're the right fit if:

• You have 3+ years of combined professional and graduate-level research experience in Physics/Medical Imaging (CT and/or X-ray preferred) as an individual contributor.
• You have a minimum of a Ph.D. in Physics, Mathematics, Biomedical, Electrical, or Nuclear Engineering (or related field), with a background in the theory of medical image formation and reconstruction (preferred).
• You bring strong technical expertise in CT/X-ray imaging, signal and image processing, CT reconstruction, calibration, and systems-level/scanner understanding. Differentiating skills include experience with photon counting and/or spectral CT (dual-/multi-energy imaging), as well as cone beam CT, physics-based simulation, and hands-on prototype or scanner work.
• You are experienced in MATLAB (primary), Python (increasing use), and C++ (preferred), including GUI and C-MEX functionality, and familiarity with AI/deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow preferred).
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document and clearly explain complex algorithms, imaging chain trade-offs, and cross-functional impacts to non-specialists.
• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position. Travel up to 10% may be required.

How we work together:
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company's facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers' or suppliers' locations.
This is an office-based role.
About Philips:
