Posted Job Title Research Investigator Sr. Job Profile Title Research Investigator, Senior Job Description Summary Our 3D printing platform depends on a specialized software infrastructure that enables the creation of lifelike CT phantoms from complex imaging and anatomical data. The proposed Research Investigator has been the major architect of this software backbone and possesses unique expertise in the design, implementation, and maintenance of the technology pipeline. As the scope of our 3D printing work expands, the software infrastructure must be actively maintained, improved, documented, and extended to support new phantom designs, new imaging targets, improved realism, and more efficient production workflows. A dedicated Research Investigator is needed to ensure continuity, technical rigor, and forward development of this critical platform. The Research Investigator will be responsible for maintaining and extending the software backbone of the 3D printing technology used to generate lifelike CT phantoms. Responsibilities will include developing and refining software tools for image processing, segmentation, model generation, print preparation, data management, and workflow automation. The individual will coordinate with a multidisciplinary team to support the complete 3D printing pipeline, including design planning, digital model creation, fabrication strategy, quality assurance, and iterative improvement. The role will also involve troubleshooting technical challenges, documenting software and workflows, supporting research studies that use the phantom platform, and contributing to manuscripts, grants, and presentations related to this work.
