About the Role

We are seeking a senior R&D scientist/engineer to design, develop, and test our clinical prototype. This role involves integrating biophysics, image processing, deep learning, novel electronics, ultrasound, and real-time signal processing. It offers a unique opportunity to work across multiple areas of a hardtech biomedical startup, including preclinical studies, clinician interaction, and fundraising, with potential for future leadership growth.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and test the clinical prototype.
Lead key benchtop and preclinical experiments.
Work with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to achieve clinical goals.
Integrate biophysics, image processing, deep learning, novel electronics, ultrasound, and real-time signal processing.

Requirements

PhD in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, medical physics, or closely related fields.
MS or BS with 4-5 years of equivalent work experience (industry or academia) will also be considered.
Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and independent.
Desire to grow into a leadership role.
Excellent technical and analytical capability.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
High level of emotional intelligence.
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.
