About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative R&D Scientist to drive cutting-edge R&D in AI for medical imaging. You will work on developing pioneering, next-generation algorithms, scalable prototypes, and intelligent systems that advance imaging technologies (MR, CT, US, X-ray, PET, SPECT) and support real-world clinical and commercial applications.

You will operate in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, tackling large-scale, actual challenges at the intersection of AI, imaging physics, and product innovation.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct research and development of advanced AI, deep learning, and generative methodologies for medical imaging applications;
• Design, implement, and evaluate AI-driven reconstruction, enhancement, and analysis algorithms, including Vision-Language Foundation Models, diffusion models, and multi-modal approaches;
• Develop scalable prototypes and AI-powered tools for medical imaging products, feasibility studies, and customer-facing workflows;
• Collaborate directly with customers and interested parties to understand algorithmic and workflow requirements and translate them into impactful solutions.
• Generate intellectual property and publish high-impact, scientific manuscripts and patents in top-tier journals and conferences.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including R&D, engineering, product, and business to transition prototypes into production-ready components.
• Analyse complex scientific and technical challenges in medical imaging and AI, proposing innovative, physics-aware, and data-driven solutions that advance company goals.

What We’re Looking For:

• Solid knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision, including generative AI and foundation models.
• Expertise in medical image analysis, computational imaging, digital signal, and image processing.
• Proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Keras, with hands-on experience implementing advanced neural architectures.
• Solid foundation in mathematics, physics, and statistical modeling.
• Hands-on experience with Python programming and software engineering guidelines, with additional experience in C++ considered a strong plus.
• Familiarity with version control systems, cloud-based infrastructure, and scalable deployment.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams, thriving in a fast-paced environment built on innovation.
• Very good communication and presentation skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or Master’s with significant research experience).
• 3+ years of experience in AI and medical imaging.
• Track record of publications or presentations at top-tier conferences, journals, or competitions in AI and medical imaging.
• Experience with generative AI, diffusion models, Vision-Language Models, transformer models, or multi-modal imaging applications.
• Experience with the development and evaluation of methodologies and systems for solving inverse problems in medical imaging or other domains.
• Experience working in customer-facing, translational, or solution-focused research environments.

Why Join Us:

• Work on impactful AI solutions that directly improve healthcare outcomes.
• Collaborate with a team of leading scientists and engineers in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
• Opportunities for professional growth, technical leadership, patent generation, and scientific recognition.
• Exposure to real-world clinical workflows, customers, and best-in-class medical imaging technologies.
