Ultrasound Transducer R&D Engineer
Role Summary
The Ultrasound Transducer Developer designs, simulates, prototypes, and characterizes transducers (single-element, linear arrays, and 2D arrays). The role spans acoustic stack design, FEM modeling, build/test, and design transfer in close collaboration with process engineering and electronics teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Own acoustic/mechanical/electrical design of transducers; optimize stacks (backing, matching, kerf/composite, housing) to meet performance targets.
- Perform FEM/acoustic simulations (e.g., OnScale/COMSOL/ANSYS/PZFlex); analyze trade-offs and correlate models with experimental data.
- Plan and execute prototype builds; conduct characterization (impedance analysis, beam profiles, hydrophone measurements, insertion loss/bandwidth) and document results.
- Define design inputs/outputs, specifications, and test methods; contribute to verification/validation and design history documentation under ISO 13485.
- Collaborate with process/manufacturing on fixturing, tolerances, and DFM; support transfer to pilot/production.
- Evaluate materials and novel fabrication techniques; contribute to IP strategy and technology roadmaps.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Physics, Electrical, Biomedical, or Mechanical Engineering (acoustics/ultrasound focus preferred).
- 3+ years’ experience in ultrasound transducer R&D (imaging, therapy, or NDT).
- Proficiency with FEM/acoustic simulation tools (OnScale, COMSOL, ANSYS/PZFlex) and data analysis (MATLAB/Python/MATHCAD).
- Hands-on experience with prototype builds, acoustic lab equipment, and transducer testing/characterization.
- Knowledge of piezoelectric materials (ceramics/single crystal), matching/backing materials, adhesives, and packaging.
- Strong documentation, cross-functional collaboration, and communication skills.
Salary Range
CAD$70,000 – $90,000 annually.
