Varian – Software development for cancer treatment

Johannes Arminen, 38, Systems Engineering Manager

”My work at Varian Medical Systems is very versatile; I lead a team of ten top professionals and take part in different projects. I’m also involved in strategic planning.

Our working environment is international and I collaborate regularly with Varian offices abroad. My work also includes occasional travelling to our offices e.g. in Switzerland and the US. We also get the chance to visit clinics and hospitals in Finland and abroad to see how our software is used and to discover how it should be developed further. That is something that all our employees do to better understand the customers.

Here at Varian we offer an opportunity for software development in a very motivating field. We expect our employees to have a genuine interest in the domain, as well as good programming skills and the desire to constantly learn new things. Excellent social skills are also needed as we work in different kinds of project teams in a multicultural environment.”

Outi Waltari, 26, Software Quality Engineer

“I test our radiation therapy treatment planning software as part of product development. I contribute to the design as if I were part of the hospital staff, keeping the users’ way of thinking always on my mind.

I have always been interested in the medical device industry. The greatest asset of this work is that it has such a profound meaning in people’s lives – our software is used worldwide in treating cancer. At Varian Medical Systems we have the chance to learn something new every day, to deepen our own expertise and to gain responsibility.

At work we have a good atmosphere. You can always ask for help and everyone is very encouraging. We get a chance to learn from each other and to share the knowledge.”

Varian Medical Systems is the world’s leading manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating cancer and other medical conditions with radiotherapy, radiosurgery, proton therapy and brachytherapy. In Finland we develop software for radiation therapy treatment planning.

We can offer a work place where you can really do meaningful work to save lives. You can combine your aspiration to develop software with the newest techniques and your interest in physics. Our domain is extremely fascinating and challenging and you can learn more all the time.

Currently we’re looking for: Several junior and senior software professionals with experience in software product development with .NET Technology.
