Your Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Scientist to join our team. In this role, you will research, develop, and implement cutting-edge signal and image processing algorithms to advance our high-performance handheld ultrasound imaging beyond its industry-leading position. This role is essential for maintaining our project momentum and pushing the boundaries of current technology to create superior mobile health solutions.

You will drive innovative research and collaborate closely with our product team, software architects, and firmware engineers to ensure our system's capabilities reach their full potential.

This is a 12 month temporary full-time position with the potential to extend based on performance and project needs.

Your Responsibilities Include:

• Analyze signal and image processing chains to identify opportunities for improvements.
• Perform literature reviews on the latest imaging trends in cart-based ultrasound systems and formulate methodologies to bring into a lower-resourced, handheld form factor.
• Design new techniques and algorithms that help maximize handheld ultrasound performance.
• Perform experimentation using various test equipment to characterize transmit and receive signal paths.
• Create detailed documentation as substantiated evidence of performance.
• Analyze and interpret complex data sets to draw meaningful conclusions and make recommendations.
• Prepare and present research findings to internal and external stakeholders.
• Publish research findings in reputable scientific journals and present at conferences.
• Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and ethical standards in research activities.

Your Experience So Far:

• M.Eng or M.Sc or Ph.D. in a relevant scientific field (e.g., Medical Imaging, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science) is preferred. However, candidates with a relevant degree combined with significant relevant work experience will also be considered.
• A minimum of 5 years experience in medical imaging or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated expertise in signal processing and imaging algorithms and data analysis.
• Strong publication record in reputable scientific journals.
• Proficiency in tools Python, MATLAB, and R.
• Ability to translate algorithms into real-time programming languages such as C, C++, HLS, and VHDL.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
• Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, for presenting complex technical information.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment.

Location and Compensation:

This is a hybrid role that does require some in-office presence, therefore we can only consider candidates who are based within a commutable distance from our Vancouver, BC office.

This is a 12 month temporary full-time position with the potential to extend based on performance and project needs.

The salary range for this role is set at $100,000 - $125,000.
