Computer Vision Engineer
Methuen, MA
Position Summary:The Computer Vision Engineer will be responsible for leading the development of advanced navigation and guidance solutions for robotic-assisted surgeries.
Essential Functions:- Work closely with clinical experts, system engineers, software and hardware engineers, and regulatory specialists to create a high-accuracy, real-time navigation and surgical guidance system that integrates seamlessly into the surgical environment;
- Work with surgical navigation team that is responsible for designing and developing advanced navigation and guidance solutions for robotic-assisted surgeries;
- Work closely with clinical specialists to translate surgeon feedback into technological improvements and user interface enhancements;
- Design and implement real time vision algorithms to account for surgical instruments and anatomical structures, adapting pre-op imaging to intra-op imaging;
- Develop novel machine vision sensors and extended reality display systems that help track instrument positions;
- Collaborate with product, system, and hardware teams to evaluate, select, and integrate depth sensors (e.g., structured light, Time-of-Flight, stereo cameras) or multi-modal systems (e.g., near-infrared or ultrasound) to capture surgical site geometry or anatomical structures;
- Ensure robust calibration and synchronization of multiple sensors if needed;
- Develop and maintain code in a real-time environment, ensuring modularity, scalability, and reliability (e.g., C++/Python with GPU acceleration where appropriate);
- Define and execute test plans for accuracy, reliability, and performance of the tracking system using synthetic, phantom and cadaver experimental data;
- Document results to support risk management, regulatory filings, and product development milestones; and
- Engage in the entire product life cycle from research to initial requirements drafting to sustaining efforts.
- Standard company benefits.
Qualifications:- Requires a Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Science, Robotics, or a related field;
