(Junior) Data Scientist/Engineer - AI Medical Imaging (w/m/d)

What we are doing

Our mission is to prevent vision loss and ultimately blindness by developing AI software that assists eye doctors in therapy planning for their patients. We use computer vision deep learning models(AI) trained on thousands of cases and millions of images to identify and predict disease progression. The decision support algorithm targets popular eye diseases like Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD, 7.5mio affected in Germany alone).

Tasks

• Develop and optimize machine learning algorithms for medical imaging applications to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ophthalmological diagnostics.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers and clinicians, to integrate AI solutions into existing medical workflows and tools.
• Analyze large datasets from various sources, ensuring data quality and integrity, to train and validate AI models for detecting eye-related conditions.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in AI and medical imaging technologies, applying innovative approaches to improve product offerings and patient outcomes.

Requirements
