## About the Role

Bachelors required. Computer Science highly preferred.

A Master's degree in a field related to science and engineering also highly preferred.

Experience in advanced MR image reconstruction software developments is considered essential.

Work Experience

Experience in advanced MR imaging reconstruction > 2 yrs Required

Experience in the medical field and patient care > 1 yr Preferred

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Proficient in programming languages such as Python, Matlab, C++, and AI frameworks like PyTorch.

Proficient in GPU and CPU multi-threaded programming.

Proficient with the Linux, Windows and Mac operating systems.

Good knowledge and comfort level with some of the main available MR image reconstruction and analysis packages, such as BART, XD-GRASP, SigPy, and FreeSurfer.

A high level of attention to detail, and good communication skills especially as they relate to documentation.

## Description

Harmonize contributed cancer imaging datasets (radiology, digital pathology, annotations, AI analysis results) into standard DICOM representation and prepare them for ingestion into IDC.

 - Develop and maintain open source Python and C++ tools for accessing IDC data and converting between DICOM and research formats (idc-index, highdicom, dcmqi, wsidicomizer and related packages).
 - Build and run cloud-based analysis workflows (Google Cloud, Terra, JetStream2) that apply open source AI analysis tools to large imaging cohorts and encode results as DICOM.
 - Develop and maintain agentic interfaces to IDC, apply agentic approaches to support the project and its users.
 - Contribute to the modernization of the 3D Slicer architecture: implement modules against the revised core libraries, reimplement existing capabilities as reusable packages, and develop tests.
 - Test and integrate components developed by collaborating institutions (DICOM validator, annotation infrastructure, DICOM standard tooling) and report defects upstream.
 - Prepare documentation, tutorials, example notebooks and webinar materials; support users on the IDC forum.
 - Participate in team meetings; track work in GitHub.

Qualifications

The Data Engineer will be responsible for developing advanced diagnostic image reconstruction software, more specifically, advanced software for Magnetic Resonance image generation and motion compensation.

Such developments include guiding hardware selection/purchase, setting up said computer equipment with the needed libraries and software environments, developing new software tailored to the needs of specific projects, documenting the methods and procedures used as part of these developments, correcting and validating the software being developed, and creating quality-assurance tests that evaluate the performance and accuracy of the new software. Although not directly related to programming skills, some degree of past experience in the medical field, especially as it relates to patient care, would be considered important, to help ensure the creation of software that remains well-grounded in practical needs and directly relevant to clinical objectives

Essential Functions (Key Roles & Responsibilities)

To understand the projects' needs, and to design, develop and then validate new software to meet these needs.

To analyze and help fill computer hardware requirements associated with the needed software developments.

To optimize software performance to achieve levels compatible with clinical objectives.

To write diagnostic software to help test and ensure the performance and accuracy of all software solutions developed here.

To contribute detailed analyses and diagrams as needed for manuscript preparation and grant submissions.

To perform all duties related to onboarding and to maintaining workplace compliance/employability.
