Description
At Siemens Healthineers, we pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. We are driven by our purpose to improve lives through innovative medical technology that transforms care delivery and enables clinicians around the world to make confident, life‑changing decisions. As part of our growing Magnet Technology business, you’ll join a team dedicated to creating the next generation of superconducting magnet solutions that power our MRI systems globally.
About the role:
We are looking for a Magnet Engineer to join our specialist team developing the next generation of superconducting magnets used in MRI scanners. This role is ideal for someone with a strong physics background—particularly electromagnetism, superconductivity, applied or experimental physics—and a passion for turning complex scientific principles into high‑impact, real‑world products.
You’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive engineering group of around 10–15 experts, working across the full lifecycle of magnet development. You’ll contribute directly to the design, build and optimisation of high‑performance superconducting magnet systems that make a genuine difference to patients’ lives worldwide.
This role will initially be based at our Eynsham site before being permanently located at our new, £250m state of the art Bicester facility. Hybrid working is available, with three days per week onsite.
