About the Role
Echo Neurotechnologies is seeking an experienced Senior Machine-Learning (ML) Engineer to apply ML principles to large datasets of time-series data and associated metadata. The goal is to create decoding models and discover new insights to empower individuals with severe physical disabilities to control a computer and communicate effectively.
Responsibilities
- Design and create state-of-the-art ML models for translating time-series data into control signals for computer control and communication.
- Perform feature engineering on existing and future data to discover richer representations of the datasets.
- Ensure robustness of the decoding models and pipeline for product deployment in real-world scenarios.
- Incorporate existing advanced AI tools (e.g. LLMs) into research workflows.
- Assist in designing cloud-based ML systems and data structures for large-scale operational pipelines and data-science platforms.
- Collaborate within a small team to address ML needs of the products, including assisting in the integration of ML models into product applications.
- Work independently to achieve ML milestones in a timely fashion without micro-management.
- Follow proper coding practices to create and maintain reproducible, clear, and highly documented code.
- Contribute to documentation for a Quality Management System, as appropriate and relevant to ML implementations that become part of medical products.
Requirements
- Extensive experience and demonstrated proficiency in ML applications, particularly those involving time-series data.
- Experience working on projects related to medical or clinical applications.
- Highly motivated to work on fast-paced projects that will positively impact patient quality of life.
- Ability to communicate clearly and effectively and enjoy working closely as part of a small team.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Math, Engineering, Data Science, or other relevant quantitative fields.
- Minimum of 5 years of combined academic and professional ML experience.
- Proficiency in Python and either tensorflow or pytorch (pytorch is preferred).
- Proficiency in using GPUs and GPU software toolkits to accelerate ML pipelines.
- PhD in a relevant quantitative field (preferred).
- Both academic and industry ML experience (preferred).
- Publication history in ML-related academic projects (preferred).
- Experience working with time-series data from human participants or other physiological time-series data (preferred).
