Company History: Our history extends back more than 10 years, when researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, exploring ways to deliver intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), developed the concept of helical tomotherapy in 1990. The Tomotherapy Research Group was officially established at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1994, and in 1997 TomoTherapy Inc. was founded by two members of the research group: Professor Thomas Rockwell Mackie, a leading medical physicist, and Paul J. Reckwerdt, an accomplished mathematician and software engineer.
In 1999, key members of the tomotherapy research group left the UW to begin work at TomoTherapy Incorporated. At that time the company consisted of 12 employees. Today TomoTherapy employs more than 160 engineers, physicists and other professionals who have helped make the Company a success.
A privately-held company, TomoTherapy Inc. holds an exclusive license on 70 patents issued worldwide. Most of our patents are held and protected by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). We continue to assist the University of Wisconsin in their research and evaluation of tomotherapy.
Working Environment: TomoTherapy Inc. is located in beautiful Madison, WI. Our 70,000 square foot, three story facility, which features many high-performance, energy efficient features, houses TomoTherapy's production and training facilities on the first and second floors.
TomoTherapy also collaborates with the UW Tomotherapy Research Group, which has shielded research space and two research linear accelerators.
Benefits: We offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits package, including 3 weeks of vacation, sick leave, health, dental, life, disability, 401k and incentive stock option and bonus plans.
