As an algorithms engineer on the Ion project, you will join a team of robotics and software experts. You will play a lead technical role, working to conceptualize, design, and evaluate new aspects of a guidance software solution. This role focuses on the processing and fusion of diverse imaging modalities—including CT, CBCT, X-ray fluoroscopy, and real-time camera video streams—to improve surgical navigation and clinical outcomes. Drive the full cycle of the development of medical imaging analysis software, from clinical requirement analysis to production-ready code. Understand complex clinical requirements and develop detailed technical specifications. Design, prototype, and implement user-facing software and advanced algorithms for medical imaging, computer vision, and machine learning. Apply state-of-the-art techniques such as nnUnet, Vision Transformers (ViTs), DINO, Diffusion models, and Vision Language Models (VLMs) to endoluminal navigation challenges. Support the development of AI/ML features in alignment with Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP) principles, ensuring data representativeness and model transparency. Support system integration and testing while generating formal design documentation and patent applications ## Qualifications MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related quantitative field. 5+ years of hands-on experience in algorithm development with a specialization in medical imaging and computer vision. Proficiency in Python and C++, with a deep understanding of modern software component design. Expert knowledge of ML frameworks including PyTorch and OpenCV. Practical experience with specialized libraries including MONAI, SimpleITK, and VTK/ITK. Hands-on experience with CUDA and model optimization tools such as TensorRT or ONNX. Deep understanding of GMLP guiding principles, including separation of training/test sets and performance monitoring for AI-enabled medical devices. Excellent verbal and written communication skills for effective cross-functional collaboration with clinical and engineering teams. Candidates at all experience levels are encouraged to apply, as the seniority level of the position may be adjusted based on the applicant.
