EngD on Cloud technologies in Image Guided Therapy

Introduction
The Electronic Systems (ES) group within the Department of Electrical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Philips Image Guided Therapy Systems (Philips IGT-S) are seeking to hire an outstanding EngD candidate within the field of data driven value-based healthcare in image guided therapy.

Job Description
In image guided therapy the real-time x-ray image stream is essential in conducting the intervention. As a consequence, so far the industry has been reluctant to embrace cloud technology, because of latency and reliability considerations. However, cloud cluster computing also enables sophisticated AI algorithms that cannot be catered by local computation resources.

This EngD project will consist of creating cloud technologies for real-time interventional imaging. This position is part of six EngD vacancies at Philips IGT-S which will be released over the next year. The EngD candidates will work within an expert team at Philips, and their assignments will address the following aspects:

• Deployment of a containerized backend infrastructure with a European cloud provider
• Large databases deployment using K8S, MongoDB and S3 technologies
• Setup monitoring for key performance indicators such as latency, quality of service, up-time, usage, etc

Electronic Systems group at TU/e and Philips IGT-S
The Electronic Systems group consists of six full professors, three associate professors, five assistant professors, several postdocs, about 40 EngD and PhD candidates and support staff. The ES group is world-renowned for its design automation and embedded systems research. It is our ambition to provide a scientific basis for design trajectories of electronic systems, ranging from digital circuits to cyber-physical systems. The trajectories are constructive and lead to high quality, cost-effective systems with predictable properties (functionality, timing, reliability, power dissipation, and cost).

Philips Image Guided Therapy is a business category within Royal Philips. The Image Guided Therapy department focuses on developing innovative medical devices and solutions that enable minimally invasive and image-guided procedures in the field of healthcare. These technologies are designed to help healthcare professionals perform procedures such as interventional cardiology, radiology, and surgery with greater precision and efficiency. Philips Image Guided Therapy solutions often incorporate advanced imaging, data analytics, and visualization technologies to enhance patient care and improve clinical outcomes. https://www.philips.com/healthcare/e/image-guided-therapy

Job Requirements
We are looking for excellent candidates that add value to the ES group and match the following profile:

• A master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related disciplines with excellent grades.
• Excellent knowledge of computer architectures and hardware/software design.
• Experience with cloud technologies, examples are: REST, docker, K8S, web-assembly, React, Node.js, Helm, Grafana.
• Experience with designing, managing and maintaining a Kubernetes cluster in a production environment - e.g., AWS or OpenStack
• Solid programming skills (e.g., in C, C++, C#, Python).
• Good communication and organization skills.
• Excellent English language skills (writing and presenting).

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an international setting with a close relationship to industry. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

• Full-time employment for two years.
• Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale TOIO (€ 3,029).
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• To support you during your EngD and to prepare you for the rest of your career, you will have free access to a personal development program for EngD trainees.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
• An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
• A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.

Knowledge Valorization Officer – Training in photonics

Integrated photonics is a cutting-edge technology that is shaping the future of our digital society – ultrahigh bandwidth telecommunication, quantum computing, AI datacenters, non-intrusive sensing, LiDAR, and intelligent manufacturing. This fast-moving field has abundant opportunities for innovation and valorization, yet market visibility into photonics skills requirements remains fragmented and incomplete.

This Knowledge Valorization Officer position comprise both content development and course delivery. Content development will focus on executive-level training where participants will familiarise themselves with commercial and technological opportunities and risks for businesses and entrepreneurs entering the integrated photonics sector. You will work with a team of academics, researchers, and the wider industry ecosystem, including the JePPIX platform, to formulate learning objectives, materials, activities, assessments and course evaluation methods. With respect to course delivery you will work on the positioning of multiple openly accessible courses that are tailored to the multiple roles within photonics businesses. With market surveys, interviews, and data analysis, you will build a quantified understanding of the market need and strategies appropriate to address the EU skills agenda for photonics. Tasks include designing course frameworks, validating concepts with clients, supporting implementation, and assessing the effectiveness.

The role is funded by the European Chips Design Platform (EuroCDP) – an EU-wide initiative targeted at integrating chip design resources to offer a one-stop shop to designers. By streamlining access, the platform aims to help reduce the economic and technical barriers of chip design, facilitating fast prototyping and upscaling, and thus stimulating the EU semiconductor industry. Within the project you will assess user satisfaction with the training programs offered in the EuroCDP, analyse user feedback and propose course improvements. You will work closely with other colleagues on the project, and ensure alignment with other initiatives like PIXEurope, Photonics4Quantum, and the Dutch Chip Competence Center.

This position will be in the Photonic Integration group, leveraging our years of expertise in integrated photonics technology, teaching, and our established network in the field. Our group coordinates the Joint European Platform for Integrated Photonics (JePPIX), through which we already offer designer training programs in integrated photonics. You will be working alongside leading technology experts and experienced trainers, gaining hands-on experience in both business analysis and operational coordination. You will develop new perspectives, strengthen management and communication skills, and engage with the vibrant European photonics ecosystem.
