Job Description

Acquired by Medtronic – the world’s largest medical device company – in 2019, Digital Technologies is a part of the Surgical Robotics operating unit. The company was founded by two surgeons to realize the mission of bringing safe and standardized surgical care to patients around the world.

Having a strong and proven foundation in innovation, and in particular computer vision and machine learning, Digital Technologies is on the frontier of healthcare image and video analysis. The company is beginning to explore possibilities outside of the Operating Room and minimally invasive surgery, where its existing technology is leading the market in terms of cloud-connected, machine-learning solutions. Imaging and video modalities are ubiquitous across healthcare specialties – why should we stop at minimally invasive surgery?

A Day in the Life

As a Senior Computer Vision Engineer within the Innovation team, you will help to design, implement, and test Machine Learning frameworks to support other engineers and researchers of the team. You will become part of a talented team exploring new concepts through fast iterative prototyping. You will collaborate as a computer vision and machine learning expert with our other machine learning engineers, platform engineers and research experts of the team

Our computer vision/machine learning team is responsible for developing solutions that allow us to scale our automatic understanding from raw video data. This includes (but is not limited to) performing tasks such as object detection, localization and tracking, segmentation and scene understanding. For these tasks, we rely on video data recorded during the procedure.

You will be:

- responsible for developing machine learning models for video and image analysis

- asked to deliver well-written and high-quality code 

- asked to present your results (we share our findings with team mostly during our catch-up meetings)

- required to keep yourself updated with state-of-the-art methods and to be capable of coming up with new and novel solutions for problems at hand (we try to devote time to do research and share it with the team)

Must Have

• A Master or PhD in, Computer Science, Mathematics, Computer Vision/Machine Learning or similar related field.
• Proven ability of results driven application of machine learning.
• Very knowledgeable in Python and relevant numerical libraries (numpy, scikit-learn, opencv, etc.)
• Computer Vision

Nice to Have

• Proven knowledge of at least one of the main deep learning frameworks (Pytorch, Tensorflow, Keras...)
• Data visualization experience would also be useful for this role
• Excellent communicator - You are comfortable talking with programmers, marketers, surgeons, business leaders, and everyone in-between 

We Offer

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package to all our employees:

• Flexible working environment
• Annual Incentive Plan % depending on company results
