MRI Engineer
AION Biosciences, St. Louis
About the job
At AION, we’re building sci-fi medical devices.
Our mission is to bring aging under full biomedical control. We believe this can be achieved through closed-loop hardware that reads and writes bioelectric states in living tissue using electromagnetic and acoustic fields – a control layer for cell reprogramming that chemistry and gene therapy fundamentally cannot provide.
We're looking for exceptional engineers to join us in building machines that make aging optional.
The role
As an MRI Engineer at AION, you will
- 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
