Ge Healthcare Work Values

Daily Duties at Ge Healthcare:

• Prepared Test procedures and Plans to test and tune various MR RF Subassemblies (cables, Printed wire assembly boards) and validate sub-components. • Communicated results through written test reports and presentations describing analyses performed and solutions developed. • Gained extensive experience in Production and Validation in an FDA regulated environment. • Reviewed and communicated with vendors for sub-components (chip components, connectors, cable assemblies, amplifiers) and collaborated with sourcing dept in technical and cost reduction negotiations. • Managed Bill of materials for multiple projects, conducting necessary research and interfacing with engineers and contract manufacturers. • Addressed Factory failure issues involving components, magnetism requirements, RF subassembly and RF coils while working extensively on Engineering Change Orders. • Worked on Supplier Transfer Projects, which involved transfer of production of RF Coils and Coil Subassembly boards to low cost Countries. • Gained experience in the field of RF Coil design and phased array Coils for 1.5T and 3T MR systems. Built, tested and tuned following prototypes: • Helmoltz Loop: Built an experimental Helmholtz loop coil and did a comparison between three different coupling mechanisms (Inductive, Capacitive and Classical Helmholtz version) • 3T Birdcage Coil: Prototype coil to image the human head at 128MHz (3T system) • 1.5T Knee Coil: Prototype to image human knee and foot comprised of 16 channel receive and 1 birdcage transmit coil. • Carbon 13 16ch Flex coil: Used to image hip and prostrate in men comprising of a posterior and anterior section, each made of 8 elements and decoupled. • Cable Baluns: System cable baluns to filter out signals at frequencies and stop common mode current at 32MHz, 64MHz and 128MHz. • Gained experience in the field of Low Noise Pre-amplifier design and matching networks. • Designed and Simulated using ADS and built Transmit Receive Switches for RF Coils in the frequency ranges of 128MHz, 64MHz and 32MHz • Performed Scanning operations using GE 1.5T MR450 and 3T MR750 scanner systems to measure B0 distortion depths, proton signal scans, MCQA (Multi Coil Quality Assurance) tests and determined magnetism criteria for components.

What they like about Ge Healthcare:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
