Key facts

Hours: 15 hours a week
Language needed: German and English
Subject you study: Medical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Technical Computer Science

You support us in analyzing existing calibration methods of different X-ray systems and structuring different processes and goals
You help investigate the relationship between individual calibration steps and their effects on image processing and technical image quality features, for example detection and assessment of defective pixels and gain and offset corrections, etc.
You support taking measurements on X-ray systems, experimentally recreating different calibration conditions, and analyzing relevant influencing factors such as temperature and assessing their effect on calibration results and technical image quality
You assist in developing suitable measures and target values to objectively assess the quality and robustness of a detector calibration, and in evaluating measurement data with Python, comparing different calibration strategies and visualizing results
You help examine calibration processes across the product lifecycle from manufacturing through system integration to service, identify options for simplification, harmonization or optimization, and examine how calibration processes can be made more efficient to reduce effort and costs while ensuring or improving calibration and image quality

You are studying at least in the third semester of a bachelor's in medical engineering, physics, electrical engineering, technical computer science or a comparable science and engineering degree and are available long term
You have good physical and technical understanding and are interested in understanding modern detector technologies in detail
Knowledge of X-ray physics or X-ray detectors is an advantage
You have experience with Python and enjoy analyzing and visualizing large measurement datasets
You like working experimentally and are interested in taking measurements on real detectors
You can not only evaluate measurement results but also want to interpret them based on the underlying physical and technical relationships
Experience with X-ray detectors and image processing in a medical setting is useful
Basic knowledge of AI methods is an advantage but not required
You have very good German and English skills, spoken and written
You work in a structured, analytical and independent way
Interest in data analytics, machine learning or AI methods is a plus
