Proton therapy system manufacturer and global service operator
IBA Proton Therapy manufactures and deploys proton therapy systems—precision radiotherapy equipment for cancer treatment. The company's engineering-heavy org (38 roles open across installation, commissioning, and system validation) reflects its core operational mode: deploying complex medical devices across hospitals globally, then sustaining them through maintenance and upgrades. The tech stack is infrastructure-focused (Siemens PLCs, SAP, CMMS, AWS) rather than data-forward, grounded in the physical and regulatory demands of medical device operations.
IBA Proton Therapy designs and manufactures proton therapy systems, an advanced form of radiotherapy that uses precision particle beams to treat cancer while minimizing side effects. The company operates across 13 countries, with headquarters in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, and a workforce of 1,001–5,000 employees. Core operations center on installation and commissioning of systems at hospital sites (recent projects include deployments in Valencia and across multiple regions), system calibration and testing, and global maintenance and reliability improvements. The company operates under strict FDA and QA compliance frameworks and manages contractual service obligations to healthcare facilities worldwide.
IBA's stack reflects medical device and operations infrastructure: Siemens PLCs and controllers (S7, Step 7), SAP for enterprise resource planning, CMMS for maintenance management, Power BI for analytics, AWS X-Ray for system monitoring, and standard Microsoft Office tools. Python and Linux support engineering work.
Active projects center on system deployment and reliability: proton therapy system installations in multiple regions (including Valencia), cyclotron subsystem commissioning, hardware and software testing, equipment calibration, system upgrades, and validation testing. Improvement of equipment reliability and minimizing service disruption are ongoing operational priorities.
