JOB TITLE: R&D Medical Physicist (On-site, Palo Alto, CA)
The R&D Medical Physicist joins the Engineering Physics team to develop next-generation radiation therapy linear accelerators. This role focuses on dosimetry physics, radiation physics, and medical physics to ensure accurate, compliant beam performance through rigorous measurement, analysis, and verification. The successful candidate will own dosimetry and radiation-physics analyses, translate clinical principles into physics-based requirements, and perform high-accuracy measurements using ion chambers, solid-state detectors, films, and arrays. Key responsibilities include applying radiation transport modeling to understand dose, collimation, scatter, leakage, and shielding. Required skills include a PhD in a relevant field, experience with Monte Carlo calculations using Geant4, and proficiency in Python, MATLAB, and Excel. The role solves critical physics risks regarding beam precision, safety, and regulatory compliance in modern radiation therapy systems.
