Computer Vision & AI Algorithm Engineer

About the role

CathWorks, part of Medtronic, is looking for a hands-on Computer Vision & AI Algorithm Engineer to develop advanced imaging algorithms for a medical device. The role covers the full lifecycle of algorithm development, from creating new solutions to improving, maintaining, validating and integrating them into the product. The ideal candidate moves between deep learning, classical computer vision, data analysis, debugging, validation and product integration.

Key responsibilities

• 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 classical computer vision and machine/deep learning methods for image classification, segmentation and 3D modeling.
• Collaborate with software developers, biomedical engineers, product specialists and other algorithm developers to refine existing applications.
• Maintain and improve algorithm robustness, performance and reliability in production environments.
• Identify opportunities for innovation and design novel algorithms for complex technical challenges.
• Review the latest academic papers and evaluate their potential impact on the company's algorithmic stack.

Required profile

• M.Sc. in computer science, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics or a related field; excellent B.Sc. graduates will also be considered.
• Experience developing and implementing AI, computer vision and image processing algorithms.
• Strong understanding of data quality, dataset design, model evaluation and performance analysis.
• Self-driven, able to lead technical projects independently from concept through deployment.

Required skills

• Deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow (an advantage)
• MATLAB for algorithm development and analysis (an advantage)

What we offer

• A competitive salary and a flexible benefits package.
• Eligibility for the Medtronic Incentive Plan (MIP).
