Full Job Description
The position

We're looking for a Signal Processing Engineer to join our algorithm and development team, working on remote vital sign monitoring from video. You'll develop and validate algorithms that extract clinical-grade physiological signals (heart rate, blood pressure, respiration) from camera data, working closely with computer vision engineers in our algorithm team.

What You'll Do:
  • Design and implement signal processing algorithms for extracting vital signs from video-based sensors (rPPG, rBP)
  • Develop real-time filtering, denoising, and feature extraction methods to achieve clinical-grade accuracy
  • Build validation pipelines comparing our video-based measurements against clinical reference devices (ECG, PPG, BP monitors)
  • Help design studies that ensure millisecond-level synchronization between video streams and reference sensors for accurate ground truth
  • Integrate with the computer vision pipeline (C++) to leverage multi-modal signal enhancement techniques
  • Architect cloud-based QA and automated verification systems for reproducible algorithm validation
  • Prototype algorithms in Python and C++ before deploying them on our production system

What We're Looking For:
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field (or PhD)
  • Strong fundamentals in digital signal processing, statistical methods, and real-time systems
  • Deep expertise in physiological signal processing (Radar, PPG, ECG, respiration, blood pressure)
  • Experience processing low-frequency physiological signals with challenging SNR characteristics
  • Proficiency in both Python (prototyping) and C++ (production integration)
  • Experience with spectral analysis, adaptive filtering, and time-domain methods for real-time applications
  • Ability to work independently, solve complex problems, and drive projects to completion
  • 5+ years industry experience developing signal processing algorithms for medical or physiological sensing applications (or equivalent with PhD)

Bonus Points:
  • Experience with contact-based and contactless vital sign measurement technologies especially radar
  • Background working with medical-grade measurement devices and clinical reference standards
  • Experience with embedded signal processing (ARM, edge devices)
  • Knowledge of motion artifact removal and noise reduction in challenging environments
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices for reproducible research (experiment tracking, data versioning)
  • Background in medical devices, regulated environments, or clinical validation studie

What We Offer:
  • Real impact: your code provides care for patients today
  • High autonomy and technical ownership - you'll define our signal processing approach
  • Work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI, edge computing, and healthcare
  • A talented, excellent, diverse and international team
  • Talented, international team tackling meaningful problems in healthcare
  • Equity participation in the company's future
  • Cutting-edge stack: embedded AI, robotics, LLMs, multimodal sensing
  • Transparent, mission-driven culture focused on continuous learning
  • Competitive salary and equity
