Senior R&D Engineer

About you

We are looking for a senior R&D scientist/engineer who is excited to develop technology at the forefront of medical devices and precision surgery. You will work directly with the co-founders to design, develop, and test our clinical prototype. This is a difficult hands-on engineering challenge that integrates biophysics, image processing, deep learning, novel electronics, ultrasound, and real-time signal processing.

• The ideal candidate is someone who is interested in working at a startup and is eager to challenge their technical development.
• This is a unique opportunity to work across many areas of a hardtech biomedical startup, including preclinical studies, interfacing with clinicians, and fundraising.
• We are expecting you to lead key benchtop and preclinical experiments.

• It also requires a multidisciplinary approach, working with the mechanical, electrical, and software teams to achieve our fundamental clinical goals.
• As we grow, we envision this role growing into a leadership role.
• This is an ideal role for recent PhD graduates looking to accelerate their career development in industry.

Educational background

• PhD in the fields of electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, medical physics, and/or closely related fields.
• MS or BS with 4-5 years of equivalent work experience (industry or academia) will also be considered.

Desired skills

• Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and independent; desire to grow into a leadership role
• Excellent technical and analytical capability, coupled with strong written and verbal communication skills
• High level of emotional intelligence and ability to build and manage diverse relationships (including clinical collaborators)
• Experience developing and executing complex experimental protocols in ex vivo and/or in vivo settings
• General knowledge of medical imaging (e.g. ultrasound, CT, MRI) and image guided surgery
• Familiarity with basic mechanical design and rapid prototyping (e.g. 3D printing, laser cutting, etc.)
• Knowledge of Python or Matlab for processing test results and test and measurement automation
• Experience with ultrasound prototyping hardware is a plus (e.g., Verasonics, Cephasonics)
• Experience applying image processing, computer vision, and/or deep learning techniques to medical images is a plus
• Basic electronics experience (e.g. fabrication, troubleshooting, schematic capture, PCB design) is a plus
