Software Engineer, Medical Imaging

Description

The company builds devices that create a two-way interface with the brain, aimed at restoring movement for paralyzed people, restoring sight for blind people, and changing how people interact with digital systems.

The Surgery Engineering team builds and runs custom hardware and processes for neurosurgical procedures, excluding the R1 Robot and Operator Station. Its scope covers the whole surgical process, from patient positioning through closure, plus safe implant explantation and upgrades. The team also gives mechanical engineering support to the animal care, histology, and BCI teams.

In this role you will work with engineers and clinicians on tools that place the implant and its electrodes quickly and precisely against targets identified by functional imaging such as fMRI. You will own the medical imaging data pipeline end to end: ingesting images from the scanner, fusing imaging techniques, and navigating in the patient's real-world reference frame during surgery.

Responsibilities

• Import and manipulate 3D medical imaging datasets.
• Build and deploy applications that manage large volumes of medical image data.
• Build and deploy a graphical user interface that lets engineers and clinicians set electrode targets from preoperative imaging.
• Develop a system that passes preoperative medical images to the surgical robot.
• Interface with intraoperative hardware that tracks the patient and tools.

Requirements

• Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science.
• A proven record of shipping software with real-world impact.
• A fundamental understanding of how systems work.
• Practical proficiency in linear algebra.
• Experience coding in Python, Rust, and/or JavaScript.
• Experience manipulating and visualizing 3D objects, for example in game development, VR/AR, or medical imaging.
• A bachelor's degree in a technical field such as engineering, computer science, or physics, or equivalent practical experience.
• Nice to have: experience with medical imaging formats such as DICOM and NIfTI.
• Nice to have: experience working with protected health information.
• Nice to have: knowledge of container management and orchestration.
• Nice to have: experience with infrastructure development.
