Image Quality Engineer

How many companies can say they have been in business for over 178 years?!

Here at ZEISS, we certainly can! As the pioneers of science, ZEISS handles the ever-changing environments in a fast-paced world, meeting it with cutting edge technologies and continuous advancements. ZEISS believes that innovation and technology are the key to a sustainable future and solutions for global change. We have a diverse range of portfolios throughout the ZEISS family in segments like Industrial Quality & Research, Medical Technology, Consumer Markets and Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology.

We are a global company with over 42,000 employees and have over 4,000 in the US and Canada alone! Make a difference, come join the team!

This job role is responsible for supporting quality assurance efforts across business operations to ensure adherence to standards and enhance overall performance. They conduct quality assessments, analyze process efficiencies, and implement best practices to identify and resolve quality issues. They collaborate with cross-functional teams to support quality excellence, foster a culture of quality awareness, and align quality initiatives with organizational goals.

• Define and own system level IQ metrics and acceptance criteria (e.g.,
  resolution/MTF
  , contrast, uniformity,
  artifact levels
  , reconstruction time/throughput
  , and defect detectability for representative samples).
• Design and execute repeatable IQ test protocols and golden sample workflows for engineering builds, production release, and sustaining; publish dashboards and control charts.
• Build analysis pipelines (Python/Matlab) to compute MTF
  , SNR/CNR, and other modality appropriate figures of merit.

• Develop/evaluate calibration (e.g., gain/offset/dark current, reference correction, geometric calibration, ring reduction),
  preprocessing (beam hardening correction, scatter mitigation), and reconstruction (FBP; iterative/SART/SIRT/TV/CS; artifact suppression) methods; partner with software teams to productize.
• Prototype algorithms on representative datasets; create validation plans and datasets; quantify improvements vs. baselines.
• Contribute to scan optimization playbooks (exposure, energy filtration, geometric magnification, trajectories, limited angle strategies) for target…
