Deep learning engineer

What you tell at birthdays about yourjob

“The company I work for prevents cancer in patients that need to undergo a bone scan. Nowadays, if someone needs a bone scan,radiologists use an x-ray based CT scan which exposes the patient to harmful radiation. The BoneMRI technique we developed is a radiation-free alternative that provides both bone and soft tissue information using only one machine and one exam. This reduces patients' burden, and saves time and money for hospitals. My job is to develop the algorithms behind this innovative technique, making sure that our products keep improving and can be used in hospitals all around the world.”

What you actually will be doing

You will be a key contributor to the core development of our AI-based medical imaging pipeline, that is focussed on getting the most out of MRI data for the visualization and characterization of different tissues types. You are an innovative thinker and will be working in the intersection of medical image analysis and software development of deep learning methods and algorithms, applied to real patient data. You like to learn new things, share this knowledge in the team and get things done. With the team, you will integrate deep learning solutions into our products. Your results will boost our technology and help us to achieve high quality, clinical grade products. Your solutions will be used in clinical patient examinations. You will use agile and scrum methods and work in a vibrant entrepreneurial team of image scientists and developers.

You responsibilities: 

• process medical imaging data 
• develop and test algorithms for MR image analysis; 
• perform and evaluate deep learning experiments with patient data;
• keep up to date with new developments in AI and medical image analysis; 
• validate deep learning solutions for clinical use

Minimum qualifications:

MRIguidance is a medical imaging software company that develops and markets BoneMRI, the world's first imaging technique that visualizes all human tissues from one imaging exam, without the use of harmful radiation. MRIguidance’s BoneMRI software will improve diagnosis and is used for surgical planning and guidance. In July 2020, MRIguidance was selected as Europe's best-in-class innovation in healthcare by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology. BoneMRI is CE certified forits use in Europe and since December 2021 it also has FDA clearance for marketing in the USA.
