About the role
Job Description Summary
As a Software Engineer – PET Data Acquisition, you will join a highly specialized team developing the real-time software stack at the core of GE HealthCare’s PET/CT imaging systems.
Our software directly impacts image quality and system reliability, enabling clinicians worldwide to provide accurate diagnoses and life-saving care.
You will work on a distributed, high-performance C++ system running on Linux, responsible for configuring detector hardware, processing high-throughput data streams, and enabling seamless integration across the scanner ecosystem.
Job Description
About the Team
Our team develops the data acquisition platform powering GE HealthCare’s PET/CT scanners.
This System:
• Configures and interfaces with detector hardware
• Receives high-rate event streams via UDP
• Performs real-time sorting and time-stamping of coincidence events
• Manages acquisition state and persistence
• Exposes control and monitoring APIs to clinical applications
The platform is a distributed, multi-process, multi-threaded C++ system running on Linux, designed for deterministic, high-performance operation under demanding workloads.
What you'll do
Design and develop end-to-end data acquisition features, from low-level UDP capture and event processing through service layers and client APIs
Optimize and maintain performance-critical code paths, including:
Enhance and maintain inter-process communication mechanisms, including shared memory, message queues, and service interfaces
Work with embedded persistence layers (SQL-based) for configuration, metadata, and runtime state
Collaborate closely with hardware, physics, and system teams to integrate new detector and system components
Develop unit and integration tests, and actively participate in code and design reviews
Troubleshoot complex cross-process issues using advanced debugging and profiling tools (e.g., gdb, perf, tcpdump, strace)
Requirements
B.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
4+ years of experience in C++ development on Linux, including modern C++ (C++14/17)
Strong experience with:
Multi-threaded and multi-process systems
Synchronization primitives, memory models, and concurrency challenges
Inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms such as shared memory, sockets, and message queues
Solid understanding of system-level programming and performance optimization
Why Join GE HealthCare?
In this role, you will work on a deep, high-impact codebase that directly contributes to the performance and quality of medical imaging systems used globally.
This Position Offers:
Exposure to real-time, high-performance systems at scale
Opportunities to work across software, hardware, and clinical domains
Growth in both technical depth (RT systems, performance, low-level optimization) and system-level architecture
The chance to contribute to technology that improves patient outcomes worldwide
