• Commissioning & Support – Assist with the commissioning, upgrades, and troubleshooting of new and existing equipment. Provide training and support to maintenance and operations teams.

Optical Systems & Engineering

• Design, model, and simulate optical components and subsystems for compact medical imaging devices.
• Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers to integrate optical designs into device hardware.
• Support optomechanical installations and systems validation activities.

Data & Image Pipeline Development

• Build and maintain data pipelines to ingest, store, and process large‑scale imaging datasets (e.g., DICOM).
• Develop robust image processing workflows including enhancement, denoising, segmentation, and filtering.
• Establish and enforce data governance protocols ensuring data quality, security, and HIPAA compliance.
• Manage the transfer and integration of data with clinical systems such as PACS.

AI & Computer Vision

• Design and implement machine learning and computer vision models for medical image analysis.
• Develop algorithms for segmentation, object detection, classification, and surgical scene understanding.
• Continuously iterate and optimize models based on real‑world clinical data and feedback.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in data science, optical systems, or medical imaging.
• Proficient in Python with libraries such as OpenCV, NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.
• Experience with machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.).
• Working knowledge of medical imaging formats such as DICOM and familiarity with clinical systems like PACS.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills for both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with optical design tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V).
• Familiarity with FDA regulations, SaMD, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11.
• Prior experience in clinical trials, medical device, or regulated environments.
• Experience with cloud‑based data infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
