Software Engineer (Medical Imaging)
Posted
Summary
Owns the end-to-end medical imaging pipeline for Neuralink's implant, from scanner ingestion to surgical-robot delivery, building 3D visualization tools and GUIs for clinicians using Python, Rust, or JavaScript.
- As a Medical Imaging Software Engineer, you will work with other engineers and clinicians to develop tools that enable rapid and precise placement of the Neuralink implant and its electrodes relative to targets determined by functional imaging like fMRI
- You will own the end-to-end pipeline of medical imaging data at Neuralink, from ingesting the medical images from the scanner/imaging modality, to fusing different imaging techniques, and finally to navigating in the real world coordinates of the patient reference frame during surgery
- Additionally, you will be expected to:
- Import and manipulate 3D medical imaging datasets
- Build and deploy applications to manage large amounts of medical image data
- Build and deploy a Graphical User Interface to allow engineers and clinicians to place electrodes targets based on pre-operative imaging
- Develop a system to pass the preoperative medical images to the surgical robot
- Interface with intraoperative hardware for patient and tool tracking
- Understanding of how systems work at a fundamental level
- Practical proficiency in linear algebra
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, etc.) OR equivalent practical experience
- Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering or computer science
- Proven track record of shipping software with real-world impact
- Experience coding in Python, Rust, and/or, JavaScript
- Experience manipulating and visualizing 3D objects (e.g., game development, VR/AR, medical imaging)
- Experience with infrastructure development
- Experience working with protected health information
- Knowledge of container management and orchestration
- Experience with medical imaging formats, such as DICOM and NIfTI
