At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world.A Day in the Life At the AI research team at Medtronic’s AI Center Of Excellence, we’re pioneering the next generation of visual intelligence solutions that power medical device applications across visual intelligence, robotics, augmented reality, digital twins, and beyond. Our culture thrives on experimentation, collaboration, and bringing cutting‑edge research into production‑grade systems that make a real-world impact and help improve and save lives.We’re seeking a Mid to Senior Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in computer vision. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy state‑of‑the‑art vision algorithms on medical data such as endoscopy, X-rays, CT, MRI data. You’ll work closely with a talented team of AI researchers to turn novel ideas into products across the company together with business unit teams.Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:
  • Algorithm Development: Research, implement, and optimize algorithms for object detection, image segmentation, image classification, multi-view stereo, structure-from-motion (SfM), depth estimation, surface reconstruction, and volumetric modeling.
  • Model Training & Evaluation: Design experiments, select architectures (e.g., CNNs, transformers, NeRFs, 3D/4D Gaussian splatting), and manage data pipelines for large-scale image and point‑cloud datasets.
  • Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, modular, and well‑tested code in Python.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with domain experts to define requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
  • Research & Innovation: Stay current with academic and industry advances; prototype novel techniques, publish findings, and contribute to patent filings as appropriate.
  • Mentorship: Guide junior engineers and interns, conduct code reviews, and share best practices in algorithm design and software engineering.
Required Knowledge and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field (Ph.D. a plus).
  • 4+ years of hands‑on experience in computer vision research and product development.
  • Proficiency in Python, experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • Deep understanding of multi-view geometry, photogrammetry, SLAM, or related topics.
  • Experience with point‑cloud processing libraries (e.g., PCL, Open3D) and mesh/volume representations. Strong grasp of neural rendering techniques (e.g., Neural Radiance Fields) is highly desirable.
  • Soft skills: Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to work in a fast‑paced environment. Effective communication skills, both verbal and written. Accurate, Analytical, Pro-active, Hands-on, pragmatic, resilient. Dare to enter uncharted territory, feeling comfortable with uncertainty.
