About the Role
Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Its 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year.
A Day in the Life
CathWorks, recently acquired by Medtronic, is the leader in digital health innovations that improve the lives of patients globally. The CathWorks FFRangio® System combines AI and computational science to obtain physiologic information from routine angiograms (X-rays), eliminating the need for drug stimulation and invasive pressure wires. It provides physicians with a quick and reliable intraprocedural physiologic assessment for the entire coronary tree, making it practical for every patient.
We are looking for a hands-on Senior Computer Vision & AI Algorithm Engineer to develop advanced imaging algorithms for a cutting-edge medical device. The role spans the full spectrum of algorithm development - from creating new solutions to improving, maintaining, validating, and integrating them into the product. The ideal candidate is curious, pragmatic, and comfortable moving between deep learning, classical computer vision, data analysis, debugging, validation, and product integration as needed. They measure success by seeing algorithms work reliably in a real-world product and enjoy collaborating across disciplines to solve the challenges that move the product forward.
Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:
•Design, develop, maintain, and continuously improve AI, computer vision and image processing algorithms for a medical imaging product.
•Own the full lifecycle of algorithm development, from concept and data definition through implementation, validation, product integration, and long-term maintenance.
•Use both classical computer vision methods and machine/deep learning methods to come up with solutions for various problems in the domains of image classification, segmentation and 3D modeling.
•Collaborate with SW developers, biomedical engineers, product specialists and other algorithms developers to refine and enhance existing applications.
•Maintain and improve algorithm robustness, performance and reliability in production environments.
•Identify opportunities for innovation and design novel algorithms to address complex technical challenges.
•Stay at the forefront of relevant academic research by reviewing the latest papers and evaluating their potential impact on the company's algorithmic stack.
Required Knowledge and Experience:
•M.Sc. in computer science, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or related fields (excellent B.Sc. graduates will be considered as well).
•5+ years of experience in developing and implementing AI, computer vision, and image processing algorithms.
•Strong understanding of data quality, dataset design, model evaluation, and performance analysis.
•Self-driven with the ability to independently lead technical projects from concept through deployment.
•Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow – an advantage.
•Experience with MATLAB for algorithm development and analysis – an advantage.
Benefits & Compensation
Medtronic offers a competitive salary and flexible benefits package. This position is eligible for a short-term incentive called the Medtronic Incentive Plan (MIP).
