At Chipiron,
we are on a mission to end cancer
through scalable MRI technologies.

Most deadly diseases can be efficiently cured through early diagnosis and image-guided non-invasive therapies using today’s MRI technology.

To implement widespread screening and advanced therapies, MRI accessibility needs to increase by 100-fold.

With its outrageous costs, prohibitively complex infrastructure, and extensive MR compatibility issues, current MRI technology will never be able to meet the demand.

Introducing Chipiron

Leveraging the emerging properties of ultra-low magnetic fields (<10 mT), we are building the first light, inexpensive, open full-body MRI machine without compromising image quality.

QUANTUM SQUID DETECTION SYSTEM

Our patented low-Tc SQUID volume gradiometer is the world’s first SQUID antenna capable of acquiring an MRI signal in an open environment, improving the SNR up to 10x compared to previous attempts.

02

STATE OF THE ART AI NOISE CANCELLATION SYSTEM

We implement cutting-edge linear and non-linear active noise cancellation strategies to make the most out of the lower signals.

03

ULTRA-LIGHT COOLING SYSTEM

We designed and built the first MRI-compatible SQUID cryostat, which allows the detector to stay at 4 K while gathering the NMR signal as efficiently as a room-temperature coil.

04

UNCONVENTIONNAL LOW-FIELD AI RECONSTRUCTION

Ultra-low field EPI, partial Fourier, and Gaussian undersampling with unconventional reconstruction are the last bricks to reduce the number of repetitions to pack ULF sequences in clinically relevant acquisition times.

Frequently Asked Questions

– Working at Chipiron

What should I expect during the hiring process?

Our process is designed to be structured and respectful of your time. It usually includes:

  • An initial screening with our HR manager
  • An interview with the hiring manager
  • A technical assessment or case study with the relevant team
  • A cultural fit conversation with our CEO

For senior positions, we may adapt the steps accordingly.

What is the Ark?

The Ark is our headquarters and lab, located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Spanning 400 m², it includes lab space, an open-plan office, meeting rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and showers. It’s where our teams design, build, and collaborate every day.

How can I best prepare for my interview with your team?

We encourage you to take some time to understand what we’re building. Familiarize yourself with our mission and the challenges we’re tackling. Reflect on how your background connects to the role and where you think you can contribute. We value curiosity, thoughtful questions, and a genuine interest in what we do.

What will my first few weeks at the company look like?

You’ll be paired with a buddy who will support you through your onboarding. On your first day, you’ll have a welcome lunch with your buddy and a few teammates. The People team will walk you through the onboarding steps, and you’ll meet with each lead or C-level over the first few weeks to learn about the company, the team, and key topics. You’ll also have regular check-ins with our HR team to share feedback and make sure everything is going smoothly.

What sets your company culture apart?

We are building a mission-driven company with a clear structure and strong values. A few things that define our culture:

  • A transparent salary grid
  • An international team, with 42% women
  • Unlimited paid holidays
  • A focus on equity, clarity, and long-term impact

Our three core values guide how we work:

Passion: We care deeply about our work and see it as a meaningful contribution to a larger mission. We value initiative, energy, and purpose.

Courage: We take responsibility, raise tough questions, and challenge assumptions. Courage means speaking up, giving honest feedback, and facing challenges directly.

Determination: We stay focused on outcomes and push through obstacles. We hold ourselves accountable and take ownership, even when the path is difficult.

These values are here to help everyone make better decisions. If you’re unsure, ask whether a decision aligns with our values — if it does, you’re on the right path.

How do you support career growth and learning?

We are developing a clear Career Ladder to support individual growth. It helps employees understand where they are, what they’re great at, and what they need to improve to progress. This framework is designed to bring transparency and structure to career development.

Do you host team events or social activities?

Yes. We organize monthly afterwork events where we also celebrate team milestones. These vary from casual drinks to karaoke nights, board games, bowling, or other suggestions from the team. We also host an annual offsite in September, a Christmas party, and regular small challenges or events throughout the year.

How is performance reviewed and feedback given?

We run a formal performance review campaign each year, usually at the start of the year. Managers also conduct regular one-on-one meetings to set objectives, share feedback, and follow progress over time. Feedback is ongoing and part of our day-to-day interactions.

Are flexible hours or remote work options available?

Yes. We offer flexible working hours and trust people to manage their time responsibly. What matters most is communication and delivering results. Remote work depends on your role. Since we are building an MRI machine, our hardware and engineering teams need to be present in the lab more regularly. Other teams, such as software, operations, or regulatory affairs (RAQA), may have greater flexibility to work remotely or in a flex office setup.

What benefits and perks do you offer employees?

  • Unlimited paid holidays
  • Extended paternity leave
  • Meal vouchers
  • HeyTaco – a peer-recognition tool that allows you to thank colleagues and convert points into charitable donations
