Join a talented engineering team developing next‑generation cardiovascular medical imaging algorithms and supporting state‑of‑the‑art device innovation. This internship offers hands‑on experience, mentorship from senior engineers, and exposure to impactful R&D work that supports clinicians and patients worldwide.
Your responsibilities:
Explore medical image datasets and identify computer‑detectable features in both image‑based and non‑image‑based data to support algorithm development.
Support the creation and enhancement of image annotation tools needed to generate high‑quality training data.
Describe and characterize clinical datasets to prepare dedicated datasets for algorithm testing and evaluation.
Develop tools that quantitatively and qualitatively assess algorithm performance on test datasets.
Design, train, and test image processing algorithms using both hand‑crafted features and learned representations.
You’re the right fit if:
You’ve acquired 2+ years of experience in image processing, registration, segmentation, classification, analysis, or visualization—ideally in the medical domain (CT, ultrasound, MRI, PET, or optical imaging).
Your skills include development or implementation of signal and image processing algorithms using C, C++, C#, Python, or MATLAB; experience with Python analytics and visualization libraries (Pandas, Scikit‑learn, Matplotlib); and familiarity with deep‑learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, or PyTorch.
You are currently enrolled in a degree program in engineering, computer science, biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, or a related discipline.
You’re an effective communicator with strong written and verbal skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to adapt quickly in a research‑focused environment.
You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.
How we work together:
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities (5 days a week). Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
This is an onsite role.
