    Job Description Summary

    The Technology & Innovation Center (HTIC) is GE HealthCareʼs global innovation engine, operating through two major hubs (Niskayuna, NY, USA & Bangalore, India) with a highly specialized, multidisciplinary team spanning imaging physics and systems, microelectronics, AI, biosciences, electromagnetics, robotics, materials science, and advanced system engineering. HTICʼs purpose is to drive disruptive innovation that delivers step-change performance improvements in current platforms while pioneering next-generation and cross-segment technologies that lead to new business opportunities. HTIC also proposes and wins external grant awards, typically from the US government (NIH, BARDA, ARPA-H, etc.). The organization’s redefined operating model, culture, and governance are enabling greater agility, stronger clinical and business segment partnerships, and the acceleration of disruptive solutions that position GE HealthCare to drive the future of healthcare.
    As a Technician in the Superconducting Magnet team at HTIC, you will carry out a broad range of complex engineering assignments supporting the development of novel superconducting magnet prototypes, including magnet coil winding, cold mass build-up, and cryostat assembly. Assignments may include but are not limited to set-up and operation of data acquisition equipment, execution of experiments, troubleshooting of hardware/test systems, documentation and reporting of test results. The Superconducting Magnet Technician also supports compliance and quality activities within the lab and serves as a technical resource for other team members.
