Staff Software Engineer, GPU Algorithms - DeepSight Technology

Staff Software Engineer, GPU Algorithms

Job Description

We are looking for an engineer with a strong background in ultrasound, medical image reconstruction, and programming languages such as C++ and CUDA to shape our new ultrasound imaging platform. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will work on developing and optimizing algorithms and techniques related to ultrasound signal processing, image formation, and analysis. The primary focus of this role is to improve the quality, accuracy, and interpretation of ultrasound images for DeepSight's revolutionary Ultrasound system.

• As a Staff Software Engineer, your responsibilities are:
• Developing advanced beamforming techniques to enhance the spatial resolution and image quality of ultrasound scans.
• Designing algorithms for image enhancement, noise reduction, edge detection, and speckle reduction in ultrasound images.
• Developing algorithms for reconstructing 2D or 3D images from acquired ultrasound data. This involves handling data interpolation, scan conversion, and geometric transformations.
• Designing algorithms to extract relevant features and perform segmentation of structures or regions of interest in ultrasound images.
• Developing techniques to compensate for motion artifacts caused by patient movement or tissue motion during ultrasound scanning. This can involve image registration, motion estimation, and correction algorithms.
• Exploring the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to improve ultrasound image analysis, automate diagnosis, or assist in image interpretation tasks.
• Collaborating with systems and hardware engineers to optimize the integration of ultrasound imaging systems, ensuring efficient data acquisition, processing, and display.
• Implement proposed solutions using C++ and CUDA programming languages.

Required Qualifications:

• BS in an engineering or computer science field
• Familiarity in ultrasound physics, signal and image processing, beamforming, simulation, algorithm development, or tool development
• Strong background in object-oriented programming, software architecture, and design patterns
• Proficiency with C++ programming
• Experience in concurrent/parallel programming-multithreading, multiprocessing, GPU. acceleration (CUDA, CuPy, Numba, OpenCL, Halide)
• Deep familiarity with common developer tool sets, including source control, continuous integration, and automated unit testing
• Passionate about medical devices, with excellent communication and teamwork skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical/Biomedical engineering with a dissertation topic related to ultrasound imaging or therapy
• 5 or more years of experience in commercial software development
• Experience in medical imaging product development (FDA regulated)
• Experience with real-time software applications
• Experience interfacing with hardware components and systems
• Knowledge of DICOM and HL7

Other Qualities We Are Looking For
