 Exhibit 10.15(b) 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT 

This Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between Michael Brandt (“Executive”) and ViewRay, Inc.
(the “Company”) is made effective as of the eighth (8th) day following the date Executive signs this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) with reference to the
following facts: 
 A. Executive’s employment with the Company and status as an officer and employee of the Company and each of its
affiliates will end effective upon the Termination Date (as defined below). 
 B. Executive and the Company want to end their relationship
amicably and also to establish the obligations of the parties including, without limitation, all amounts due and owing to Executive. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 
 1.
Termination Date. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his status as an officer and employee of the Company will end effective as of April 2, 2016 (the “Termination Date”). Executive hereby agrees to execute such
further document(s) as shall be determined by the Company as necessary or desirable to give effect to the termination of Executive’s status as an officer and employee of the Company and each of its affiliates; provided that such
documents shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. 
 2. Final Paycheck; Payment of Accrued
Wages and Expenses. 
 (a) Final Paycheck. As soon as administratively practicable on or after the Termination
Date, the Company will pay Executive all accrued but unpaid base salary and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Termination Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. Executive is entitled to these payments
regardless of whether Executive executes this Agreement. 
 (b) Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse
Executive for all outstanding expenses incurred prior to the Termination Date which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the
Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documenting such expenses. Executive is entitled to this reimbursement regardless of whether Executive executes this Agreement. 

3. Separation Payments and Benefits. Without admission of any liability, fact or claim, the Company hereby agrees,
subject to (i) Executive’s execution of this Agreement on or within twenty-one (21) days following Executive’s receipt of the Agreement, (ii) Executive not revoking this Agreement prior to the Effective Date,
(iii) Executive’s continued cooperation with the Company pursuant to Section 6 below, and (iv) Executive’s performance of his continuing obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the employment agreement between the Company
and Executive dated December 9, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”) and any confidentiality agreement between the Company and Executive (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), to provide Executive the severance
benefits set forth below. Specifically, the Company and Executive agree as follows: 
 (a) Severance. The Company
shall pay to Executive $93,375.00 which constitutes the sum of (i) one-third (1/3rd) of Executive’s annual base salary at the rate in


  
 1 









 
effect as of immediately prior to the Termination Date and (ii) one-third (1/3rd) of the annual performance bonus that Executive
received from the Company in 2015 (the year preceding the Termination Date) (the “Severance”). The Severance shall be paid to Executive in four substantially equal semi-monthly installments in accordance with the Company’s
standard payroll practices, less applicable withholdings and deductions, with each payment deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The first
such payment shall commence on the first payroll date following the Effective Date, which shall include amounts otherwise due and payable under this Section 3(a) on or before such date. 

(b) 2015 Bonus. The Company shall pay to Executive his annual performance bonus, to the extent earned, for fiscal year
2015 based solely on the Company’s actual results against the Company’s goals for the year, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any such fiscal year 2015 annual performance bonus that becomes earned and payable under this
Section 3(b) shall be paid, less applicable withholdings and deductions, to Executive at the same time related bonuses are paid to the Company’s continuing executive employees. 

(c) Sales Commissions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has been paid all sales commissions earned in respect
of fiscal year 2015. For fiscal year 2016, in exchange of Executive’s assistance and cooperation as provided in Section 6(b) below, Executive shall be eligible to receive a portion of the sales commissions that he would have received had
he remain employed with the Company through the end of 2016 equal to: (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the sales commissions that would have been earned for all qualifying sales transactions that Executive directly assisted on that close
on or before June 30, 2016, (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the sales commissions that would have been earned for all qualifying sales transactions that Executive directly assisted on that close on or before September 30, 2016, and
(iii) twenty-five percent (25%) of the sales commissions that would have been earned for all qualifying sales transactions that Executive directly assisted on that close on or before December 31, 2016. 

(d) COBRA & Equity Awards. If eligible, Executive will be given the opportunity to elect continuation of
healthcare benefits pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or the applicable state equivalent (together, “COBRA”). In addition, under the terms of Executive’s equity award agreements
and the applicable equity incentive plan documents, vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards granted under the Company’s equity plan as in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Equity Awards”) will cease on
the Termination Date and Executive’s unvested Equity Awards will terminate and cease to be outstanding on that date for no consideration. Executive’s vested Equity Awards, including his rights to exercise any vested Equity Awards, if
applicable, are governed by the terms of the applicable Equity Award agreement with the Company and the applicable equity incentive plan. 

(e) Taxes. Executive understands and agrees that all payments under this Agreement will be subject to appropriate tax
withholding and other deductions. To the extent any taxes may be payable by Executive for the benefits provided to him by this Agreement beyond those withheld by the Company, Executive agrees to pay them himself and to indemnify and hold the Company
and the other entities released herein harmless for any tax claims or penalties, and associated attorneys’ fees and costs, resulting from any failure by him to make required payments. To the extent that any reimbursements payable pursuant to
this Agreement are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of Code, such reimbursements shall be paid to Executive no later than December 31 of the year following 

  
 2 









 
the year in which the expense was incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and Executive’s right
to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 (f) SEC
Reporting. Executive acknowledges that to the extent required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), he will have continuing obligations under Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act to
report his transactions in Company common stock for six (6) months following the Termination Date. Executive hereby agrees not to undertake, directly or indirectly, any reportable transactions until the end of such six (6) month period.

 (g) Sole Separation Benefit. Executive agrees that the payments provided by this Section 3 are not required
under the Company’s normal policies and procedures and are provided as a severance solely in connection with this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments referenced in this Section 3 constitute adequate and valuable
consideration, in and of themselves, for the promises contained in this Agreement. 
 (h) Unemployment Benefits. After
the Termination Date, Executive may apply for unemployment benefits. Whether Executive receives benefits will be determined by the State. 

(i) No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Section 3, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as a result of subsequent employment. 

4. Full Payment. Executive acknowledges that the payment and arrangements herein shall constitute full and complete
satisfaction of any and all amounts properly due and owing to Executive as a result of his employment with the Company and the termination thereof, including, without limitation, all amounts set forth in the Employment Agreement. Executive further
acknowledges that, other than the Confidentiality Agreement, this Agreement shall supersede each agreement entered into between Executive and the Company regarding Executive’s employment, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement,
other than the agreements evidencing Executive’s Equity Awards, shall be deemed terminated and of no further effect as of the Termination Date. 

5. Executive’s Release of the Company. Executive understands that by agreeing to the release provided by this
Section 5, Executive is agreeing not to sue, or otherwise file any claim against, the Company or any of its employees or other agents for any reason whatsoever based on anything that has occurred as of the date Executive signs this Agreement.

against the Company or any other Releasee because of any actual assignment, subrogation or transfer by Executive, Executive agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other
Releasees against such claim, action, suit or demand, including necessary expenses of investigation, attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event of Executive’s death, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Executive and Executive’s
executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. None of Executive’s rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred by Executive, other than Executive’s rights to payments hereunder, which may be transferred

 9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California or, where applicable, United States federal law, in each case, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions or those of any
state other than California. 
 10. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, collectively with the Confidentiality Agreement and
the agreements evidencing Executive’s Equity Awards, comprise the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, in their entirety, any other agreements between Executive and the Company with
regard to the subject matter hereof. The Company and Executive acknowledge that the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company is intended to constitute an involuntary separation from service for the purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, and the related Department of Treasury regulations. Executive acknowledges that there are no other agreements, written, oral or implied, and that he may not rely on any prior negotiations, discussions, representations
or agreements. This Agreement may be modified only in writing, and such writing must be signed by both parties and recited that it is intended to modify this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed
to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. 
 11. Company Assignment and
Successors. The Company shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business or the assets of the Company (by merger or otherwise). This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives. 
 12. Maintaining
Confidential Information. Executive reaffirms his obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments provided in Section 3 above shall be subject to Executive’s continued compliance
with Executive’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. 
 13. Executive’s Cooperation. After
the Termination Date, Executive shall cooperate with the Company and its affiliates, upon the Company’s reasonable request, with respect to any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding involving matters within
the scope of Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or its affiliates during his employment with the Company (including, without limitation, Executive being available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and
factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s reasonable request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, and turning over to the Company all relevant Company documents which are or may have come
into Executive’s possession during his employment); provided, however, that any such request by the Company shall not be unduly burdensome or interfere with Executive’s personal schedule or ability to engage in gainful
employment.
