Intuitive is hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to join the team developing the Ion™ endoluminal system, a robotic platform for minimally invasive lung biopsy aimed at improving early lung cancer diagnosis. You will take a lead technical role on the Ion project, working with robotics and software experts to conceptualize, design, and evaluate new aspects of a guidance software solution.
What You'll Do
- Drive the full cycle of medical imaging analysis software development, from clinical requirement analysis to production-ready code.
- Understand complex clinical requirements and develop detailed technical specifications.
- Design, prototype, and implement user-facing software and advanced algorithms for medical imaging, computer vision, and machine learning.
- Apply state-of-the-art techniques such as nnUnet, Vision Transformers (ViTs), DINO, Diffusion models, and Vision Language Models (VLMs) to endoluminal navigation challenges.
- Support the development of AI/ML features in alignment with Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP) principles, ensuring data representativeness and model transparency.
- Support system integration and testing while generating formal design documentation and patent applications.
What We're Looking For
- 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.
Technical Stack
- Languages: Python, C++
- Frameworks & Libraries: PyTorch, OpenCV, MONAI, SimpleITK, VTK/ITK
- Tools: CUDA, TensorRT, ONNX
