• Develop and refine (machine-learning based) algorithms using ALIS™ signals to advance remote health monitoring.
• Analyze statistical data to assess algorithm performance and optimize for real-time applications.
• Design experiments to validate algorithms with clinical and real-world data.
• Collaborate with software engineers to ensure seamless integration and efficiency.
• Collaborate and discuss with other algorithm developers to ensure best practices and optimal performance.
• Document findings and contribute to scientific publications.

What we are looking for:

• Education: Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Data Science, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
• Algorithm Expertise: 3+ years of experience in developing and optimizing machine learning algorithms for medical technology, with strong statistical analysis skills. Clinical data experience is a plus.
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python.
• Collaborative Approach: Ability to work across teams, including software engineers, clinicians, and regulatory experts, to ensure smooth integration and compliance.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Fostering a culture of innovation, teaching best practices.
• Effective Communication: Strong documentation skills and experience contributing to scientific publications.
• Passion for Innovation: Commitment to advancing healthcare technology through cutting-edge algorithm development.

What you are looking for:

• A monthly gross salary of €4000 – €6000, based on experience, 8% holiday allowance, 25 holiday days.
• A pension contribution to your life annuity.
• Flexibility to organize your work the way you prefer (e.g. hybrid work scheme).
• Travel allowance based on the distance traveled to work.
• Budget for your home office.
• Budget for your self-development.
• An inspiring work environment at one of Europe’s largest tech incubators: YES!Delft.
• An office-cupboard stocked with goodies and healthy snacks.
• Contribution to your lunch when working in the office.
• The opportunity to contribute to the development of a product with real-world impact in the medical field.
• A great team, fun team activities and a friendly, informal work culture.
