MRI Scientist (m/f/d)

About us

DeepSpin is a HealthTech startup on a mission to make Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) universally accessible. Today, 7 out of 10 people globally lack access to this life-saving diagnostic tool. We are changing that. Driven by proprietary physics and AI-powered innovation, we are stripping away the multi-million dollar price tags and massive infrastructure requirements of traditional scanners to build affordable, mobile, ultra-low-field MRI systems.

Backed by leading global VCs, we are expanding our world-class

Software R&D

team in

Berlin

. This is a unique opportunity to join a high-impact team dedicated to bringing affordable medical imaging to billions of people worldwide.

About Position

You will join our cross-functional

Software R&D team

in Berlin, working at the intersection of computational physics, sequence design, and machine learning. You will be responsible for building sequences, and reconstruction algorithms that define how our low-field hardware operates and captures diagnostic-grade images.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will play a crucial part in achieving market-leading image quality on our mobile low-field MRI systems. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Numerical Spin Simulations

Develop and refine numerical spin models to model machine behavior and non-ideal field dynamics.

Sequence Design & Optimization

Design, implement, and optimize custom pulse sequences tailored for low-field.

ML Integration

Integrate physical MRI domain models into our deep learning pipelines to enhance control loops, parameter mapping, and image reconstruction.

Image Reconstruction

Analyze raw k-space signal data from prototype hardware and build robust image/signal reconstruction algorithms.

Requirements

We value high agency, first-principles thinking, and practical problem-solving. While we welcome applicants with diverse STEM backgrounds, ideal qualifications include:

Required Qualifications

• Advanced degree (<M.Sc>. or Ph.D.) in Physics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 5+ years of experience applying computational mathematics and signal processing to MRI.
• Hands-on experience designing pulse sequences and processing/reconstructing raw MRI k-space data.
• Proficiency in Python and the scientific computing stack (PyTorch, NumPy, SciPy).
• First-principles thinking, proactive problem-solving, and fluent English communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with low-field or ultra-low-field (<0.1T) MRI physics and hardware constraints.
• Familiarity with clinical MRI workflows, phantom/tissue scanning, and diagnostic requirements.
• Good foundation in software engineering best practices (version control, modular architecture, CI/CD).
• A strong scientific track record (publications in leading MRI/computational journals or conference presentations like ISMRM/MICCAI).
• What we offer

Compensation

A total package value of up to €120,000/year (consisting of an €70,000 - €80,000 base salary + benefits+ stock options).

Culture

A creative, collaborative workplace with flat hierarchies and open communication.

International Team

An English-first office with over 10 different nationalities driven by the same purpose.

Perks

Work from our penthouse office, enjoy company-sponsored lunches, regular team events, and access to Urban Sports Club, BVG (public transport), and lifestyle vouchers.

Development

High responsibility from day one, internal mentorship, and support for external training or certifications.

Balance

30 days of paid annual leave and flexible working hours.

Relocation

Support with visas, relocation logistics, and help finding local daycare for your children.
