Future Opportunity -- Machine Learning Engineer

Job description

The Ion™ endoluminal system is Intuitive's new robotic platform for minimally invasive biopsy in the peripheral lung, with an initial goal of improving the early diagnosis of lung cancer. As an algorithms engineer on the Ion project, you will join a team of robotics and software experts. You will play a lead technical role, working to conceptualize, design, and evaluate new aspects of a guidance software solution. This role focuses on the processing and fusion of diverse imaging modalities—including CT, CBCT, X-ray fluoroscopy, and real-time camera video streams—to improve surgical navigation and clinical outcomes.

Job requirements

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in algorithm development with a specialization in medical imaging and computer vision.
  • Proficiency in Python and C++, with a deep understanding of modern software component design.
  • Expert knowledge of ML frameworks including PyTorch and OpenCV.
  • Practical experience with specialized libraries including MONAI, SimpleITK, and VTK/ITK.
  • Hands-on experience with CUDA and model optimization tools such as TensorRT or ONNX.
  • Deep understanding of GMLP guiding principles, including separation of training/test sets and performance monitoring for AI-enabled medical devices.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills for effective cross-functional collaboration with clinical and engineering teams.
