Vortex Imaging Inc. Raises $12 Million and Expands Board Leadership to Advance Computational Ultrasound Solutions

Vortex Imaging Overview

At Vortex, we are building the world's first and only handheld, volumetric, quantitative ultrasound imaging modality.

Conventional ultrasound has reached its fundamental limits. To break through, we looked outside medicine. Our core technology is a geophysics-inspired Full-Wave Inversion (FWI) algorithm, adapted from oil and gas exploration. By running advanced wave physics simulations on multi-

GPU cloud compute, we combine mathematics, signal processing, and neural networks to reconstruct quantitative tissue properties that no conventional ultrasound can see.

This is frontier science with immediate medical impact.

The Role

You will work at the intersection of physics, mathematics, software engineering, and deep learning, solving problems that matter.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Implementing sophisticated numerical algorithms running in multi-GPU environments.
• Developing advanced neural networks for imaging and signal reconstruction challenges.
• Designing and building signal processing pipelines on raw ultrasound sensor data.
• Validating solutions through theory, simulation, and laboratory experiments.

Who We Are Looking For

The Mindset

We are looking for creative algorithm thinkers who see problems others don't, enjoy diving into deep technology, and design elegant solutions from first principles.

The people who thrive at Vortex take ownership, move quickly, and are comfortable stepping outside their comfort zone. They are curious, independent, and excited by difficult technical challenges.

The Code

Exceptional software engineering skills are mandatory. We are looking for people who can take ideas all the way to production. We value execution as much as innovation.

The strongest candidates can design, implement, test, optimize, and deploy complex systems end-to-end. They write clean, efficient, production-quality Python, move quickly, and consistently turn ambitious ideas into working solutions. Strong coding ability is a core requirement.

Experience in one or more of the following areas is a significant advantage:

• Signal Processing (FFT, filtering, wave modeling, spectral analysis)
• Neural Networks (architecture design, training, and optimization)
• GPU/CUDA development
• Inverse problems
• Acoustic simulation
• Medical imaging
