Director/ Senior Machine Learning Engineer in Medical Imaging
TORONTO: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - FULL TIME
Job Description
Oncoustics is revolutionizing the use of point of care ultrasound in liver care through advanced AI. We are supported by high-profile institutional investors and have deep partnerships in place with several major ultrasound and pharmaceutical players. We are looking to hire a senior ML Engineer to join our team with relevant academic experience and deep industry experience.
A successful candidate will be capable of in-depth development and understanding of machine learning architectures that go beyond the state of the art—advancing beyond conventional hyper-parameter tuning on existing models. They should be able to manage and lead both teams and projects, while effectively coordinating with signal processing, clinical data, and product teams. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in processes, pipelines, operations, QA, and writing production-grade code. They should be able to build on previous work to drive innovation with a novel dataset and demonstrate a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
