Proven expertise in the field of ultrasound, including relevant methods, signal processing and typical fields of application.
Broad know‑how in established measurement technologies and their practical application in sensor systems.
Experience in the design and optimisation of sensor systems – from signal‑to‑noise through to the definition of the interfaces to higher‑level systems.
Proven ability to transfer requirements from the system level in a structured way to subsystem and component level into concrete technical specifications.
Ideally, experience dealing with technical property rights (patents, freedom‑to‑operate, IP monitoring).
In‑depth market and technology knowledge for the evaluation of make‑or‑buy decisions.
Creativity, structured and self‑driven working style that creates value for both the company and the team.
