Senior Algorithm Engineer

Job title:
The Senior Algorithm Engineer is responsible for designing and developing advanced AI-based image processing and medical image visualization algorithms, focused on 2D/3D CT imaging data, along with high-performance implementations for segmentation, recognition, and real-time rendering, adhering to best practices for performance, robustness, and scalability, working under general supervision. The role troubleshoots algorithmic and data quality issues, optimizes computational efficiency, documents methodologies for effective knowledge transfer, and communicates technical findings to both technical and clinical stakeholders. The role stays abreast of the latest advancements in computer vision, deep learning, and CT imaging technologies, collaborates with cross-functional teams to translate clinical and product requirements into actionable algorithmic solutions, and supports the full lifecycle of medical imaging algorithms to ensure reliable deployment and impactful visualization outcomes.
 

Your role:

• Design and implement advanced algorithms for medical image processing, including segmentation, detection, registration, and enhancement

• Develop and optimize 2D/3D visualization techniques such as volume rendering, surface rendering, and multi-planar reconstruction (MPR)

• Build AI/ML models (e.g., deep learning, computer vision) for medical imaging applications, ensuring accuracy, robustness, and generalization

• Optimize algorithm performance for real-time or near-real-time processing, including GPU acceleration and parallel computing

• Integrate algorithms into production systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability

• Troubleshoot algorithmic issues, data inconsistencies, and performance bottlenecks

• Validate algorithms using clinical datasets and collaborate on evaluation metrics and benchmarking

• Document technical designs, methodologies, and workflows for knowledge sharing and reproducibility

• Stay current with advancements in AI, computer vision, computer graphics, and medical imaging technologies

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software engineers, product managers, clinicians, and researchers) to translate clinical and product requirements into technical solutions

• Support the full lifecycle of algorithm development, from research and prototyping to deployment and continuous improvement

You're the right fit if:

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Graphics, Applied Mathematics, or related field

• 10+ years of experience in algorithm development, with a focus on image processing, computer vision, or medical imaging

• Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python

• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and numerical methods

• Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)

• Experience with medical imaging data formats and toolkits (e.g., DICOM, ITK, VTK)

• Familiarity with 2D/3D visualization techniques and graphics pipelines

• Hands-on experience in medical image visualization algorithms (e.g., volume rendering, MPR, 3D reconstruction, or interactive visualization systems)

• Experience with performance optimization (e.g., CUDA, OpenCL, multithreading)
