Digital Image Engineer - Research & Product Development

This is a full-time Image Data Engineer position in Cleveland, OH, with potential flexibility for remote work. The role involves developing and implementing image processing pipelines for multiview, multiscale image data. It is a hybrid of R&D and product development. More specifically, you will work with data generated from our hardware. You will design and build scalable cloud infrastructures to process, transfer, store, and manage these data.

DisqualificationYou probably should not apply for this position if you are not familiar with image processing. That being said, you should be familiar with most functions in Photoshop or GIMP and describe them using math and code. You also must be authorized to work in the United States, as we are unable to sponsor H1B in the near term.

QualificationsYou must be familiar with image processing, machine vision, and data engineering, and even better if you are interested in 3D data visualization, deep learning, and computer graphics. You must be proficient in Python image processing (e.g., Pillow, OpenCV, scikit-image, and ITK). You must be knowledgeable in traditional computer vision and image processing techniques. Knowledge of AI image processing is desired. At a minimum, you should be able to implement and optimize deep learning algorithms developed by others. If you find image processing is not just about coding, if you prefer to use the most convenient software (e.g., Photoshop, ImageJ, etc.) to prototype new pipelines, and if you can quickly convert the pipeline into code, you are a great fit for this position. Finally, we will build our data processing infrastructure on the could, so your experience with cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, etc.) comes in handy.

Things you should knowWe are an early-stage startup. You will be one of the first members of our team, which means you will help shape our culture and build our foundation. You will have more freedom to make critical decisions, and you should feel comfortable criticizing or confronting decisions from others. It also means you must be proactive, responsible, and self-motivated. Working in a very small team also means you may feel a little bit lonely, lost, and unsupported. Administrative assistance is minimal. Policies can be unclear. You should be prepared for that. <10% travel is anticipated.

Interview ProcessPre-interview (~15-30 min): We introduce ourselves, ask basic questions, and determine if we like each other.Behavioral interview (~30-45 min): We talk about your technical background, previous work experience, etc.Technical interview(s) (~60 min): There will be one or two technical interviews. The interviews evaluate your proficiency in the skills needed for this position. You will prepare your own development environment and screen share your problem-solving process. We will provide instructions before the interview.

Last few thingsYou may be assigned to extra startup operational jobs, but we will keep things balanced across the team.We will work with a lot of images relevant to surgery. Make sure you are not uncomfortable with those. We value work-life balance, but there will be times of job overload occasionally.
