One example of this was our Pink Innovation event where employees worked in job- and position independent teams to develop solutions for breast cancer treatment.

Many development teams at Varian follow different agile models.

Software engineers at Varian take part in the complete software development lifecycle from design and implementation to production deployment and operation support.

It is important that the team is constantly learning new things related to new technologies, stakeholders, and ways of working. In addition, it is important to support the team in the face of challenges and in moving towards successes and new problem-solving skills.

The technical roles of Varian’s development teams are for example Architects, Software Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Testers, Cybersecurity Specialists, and Quality Engineers.

Teams also work with Scrum Masters, UX-designers, Project Managers, Product Owners, Product Managers, and Technical Writers.

Product development within the healthcare technology and medical device sectors is highly regulated at the national and regional levels. In terms of processes and documentation, products must comply with the required standards.

“We joke that what is not documented does not exist. Even though we say it jokingly, it is, in fact, the truth. In the field of medical device technology, documents are essential and with good reason.” says Antti Yrjölä, our RA/QA Team lead.

On the other hand, a regulated environment ensures that we always get to do the highest quality work and our software quality is top-notch, so you can always be proud of the end result.

Varian Finland currently employs approximately 300 people of more than 20 nationalities. We are a global community of people representing different ages, genders and educational backgrounds. Some of our employees are at the start of their career, while others already have extensive experience. We believe that bringing together different people, competences and views is the key factor for innovation and better problem-solving.

We aim to reach our goals together. This means our teams and experts help each other and nobody is left alone. We are truly proud that one of the most praised aspects of our work community is how caring, cooperative and easy-to-approach people at Varian are.

In addition to the daily teamwork, we also like to spend time together. Year-round we have various joint activities from team building days to different sports activities. For example last October, the global Varian team together walked nearly 40 000 kilometers in support of our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign!

Our driving forces are optimism, humor, and consideration of others. Everyone is accepted exactly as they are without reservations, and there’s no need to be afraid of mistakes either.

Our people have their feet on the ground. They are easy to approach, helpful in all respects. Responsibility for quality is shared and nobody is left alone. We aim to reach our goals as a one group ­– inside the team as well as the whole organization.

At Varian, rapid change in industry development is visible in tools like our modern cloud-based technologies for the digital development of intelligent cancer care. We are harnessing advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics to improve the effectiveness of treatments.

Innovation is truly valued at Varian and it’s even written in our values. Our people come from different backgrounds and thinking styles, which ensures that we have a constant flow of new ideas and the right solver for each problem.

One great benefit of working at Varian is that our employees have the possibility to patent innovations, which can be very beneficial for one’s career.
