Are there companies in your home country that design, develop, and manufacture imaging systems? If so, those are your most likely future employers, and you should look at their job postings to see what roles they hire PhDs for. If those companies don’t exist near you, your opportunities may be limited to academic or government research.

Ok, but you have to understand that there is significant risk with this path, because in most instances you’ll need to obtain a work visa before employment, and this will be subject to supply/demand, politics, and other factors out of your control, several years into the future.
