HealthcareS ie me ns M ag ne t T ec hn olo gyOxfordSiemens Magnet Technology (SMT) is aworld leader in the design andmanufacture of superconducting magnetsfor Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).From developing the world's first whole-body, superconducting MRI magnet in1980, to the global market- leading openbore MRI system launched in 2004, SMThas a long history of success. Awarded noless than six Queen's Awards for Industry,SMT continues to be a centre for cutting-edge design, development andmanufacture.At the heart of every MRI system lies over20km of superconducting wire, forming amagnet with extraordinary properties.Whilst the phenomenon ofsuperconductivity is fundamental toachieve the incredibly stable and highstrength fields required for MR imaging, itis a very fragile state and is only achievedat exceptionally low temperatures. Thisdel icately tuned machine has to be builtto withstand the intense stressesgenerated from energisation, and must berobust enough to survive major shockloads at transportation, whilst maintainingthe core temperature at -269 degreesCelsius.

This presents a vast array of engineeringchallenges across a variety of disciplinesdemanding innovation, technicalexcellence and professionalism. TheMagnetic Resonance world is continuallyevolving as companies strive for evenhigher levels of performance and value.In this relatively young industry there isno 'set' way of thinking, leading to endlesspossibi lities and a real opportunity tomake your mark.Degree backgrounds Mechanical Electrical Electronic Physics ManufacturingWorking for Siemens"Heading into the unknown of SMT wasan exciting yet daunting prospect. Whilstthe initial learning curve was steep, mytransition into the company was madequickly and easi ly thanks to the friendlyatmosphere and continuous supportavailable. I was soon assignedaccountabil ity for my own projects,requiring me to work closely with otherdepartments and suppliers throughoutthe design stages.

I found the opportunity of seeing a projectthrough from start to finish hugelyrewarding and above al l provided a greatbalance between desk-design work andhands-on testing, giving me a real sense ofimportance and pride within thecompany. Every day at SMT has offeredthe excitement of a different chal lengewith limitless opportunity to apply newlylearnt skills."
