We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join a mission-driven team pioneering image-guided navigation systems for next-generation medical devices. In this role, you’ll design and implement advanced ML algorithms that enable intelligent interpretation of medical imaging and autonomous decision-making—bringing cutting-edge perception capabilities into clinical environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement ML-based perception algorithms for image classification, segmentation, object detection, and localization.
- Develop navigation strategies using techniques such as imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and classical search or optimization methods.
- Build scalable data collection and training pipelines for simulation-based validation and real-world deployment.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with robotics and control engineers to integrate perception and navigation into the broader system stack.
- Support algorithm deployment, testing, and iteration in both simulated environments and physical systems.
Qualifications and Experience:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical field (MSc/PhD preferred).
- 8+ years of industry experience.
- Proven track record developing ML algorithms for visual perception using CNNs, vision transformers, or other deep learning architectures.
- Experience with autonomous navigation techniques, including self-supervised and reinforcement learning.
- Strong proficiency in Python and C++ and familiarity with ML frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Experience deploying models in real-world or hardware-integrated systems.
Can this role be interesting for you or anyone you know? If so, please send your CV and contact information to d.sonneveld@panda-int.com, and we will be in touch for a conversation.
