The Systems Engineering Team of GE HealthCare Austria is responsible for image quality optimizations, development of acoustic simulation systems, performing measurements in a certified laboratory, integrating new ultrasound probes in our ultrasound console, and future platform developments of our high-end medical ultrasound products. Modern ultrasound systems provide various operating modes depending on the application, which in turn rely on rigorous restrictions from different government regulatory sites. The aim of the internship is to identify the parameters with the most impact on regulated acoustic parameters (MI, Ispta.3) and to verify the results with laboratory measurements.
Responsibilities
* Collaborate closely with the Engineering team
* Become familiar with the basic concepts of acoustics in ultrasound
* Develop a basic understanding of the acoustic power control (APC) system
* Analyse the numeric APC model for sensitivity of different parameters
* Perform measurements in the acoustic laboratory at the company to verify the sensitivity analyses
* Adapt the existing measurement scripts based on the outcomes of the analysis
Qualifications
* Bachelor’s or master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Medical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field
* Good electronics, signal processing and programming skills (C++, MATLAB)
* Strong analytic and problem‑solving skills
* Knowledge about measurement technology
* Good oral and written communication skills in English
Desired Qualifications
* German language skills
Duration: 6 months. This position offers the opportunity to complete a Master’s thesis alongside the internship. Internship compensation is determined in accordance with the collective agreement for the electrical and electronics industry and varies depending on the student’s grade level and assigned duties.
