MRI Engineer
AION Biosciences, St. Louis
The role
We're looking for exceptional engineers to join us in building machines that make aging optional.
What you will do
- Design and build custom MRI hardware for experiments across cells, tissues, animals, and eventually humans
- Work directly with scientists to translate informal experimental needs into functional imaging systems, fixtures, coils, sequences, and analysis pipelines
- Design, fabricate, and test RF coils, gradient systems, low-field magnet assemblies, shielding, phantoms, sample holders, and bench-scale MRI hardware
- Develop and optimize pulse sequences for low-field and experimental MRI, including approaches for relaxation mapping, diffusion, susceptibility, flow, and quantitative tissue-state imaging
- Build reconstruction and signal analysis pipelines to extract biophysical data from MRI signals: T1, T2, T2*, diffusion metrics, conductivity-adjacent signals, phase, noise, drift, and field inhomogeneity
