Principal Computer Vision Scientist-C-SATS Inc
Seattle, WA

Job Description

C-SATS Inc is recruiting for a Principal Computer Vision Engineer, located in Seattle, WA.

The Company

C-SATS, now part of the Johnson & Johnson Institute, is a first-of-its-kind performance improvement system for surgeons. Founded by a team of doctors, engineers, and biostatisticians at the University of Washington, we provide objective, quantitative feedback on surgeons' intra-operative skill. Once our hardware captures surgical video from operating rooms around the country, our software platform provides detailed performance evaluations using expert reviewers, non-technical crowds, and machine learning. By joining C-SATS, you will become part of a tight-knit, startup-minded team committed to improving medical outcomes and bringing state-of-the-art technology to healthcare.

The Opportunity

C-SATS is the first machine learning platform for surgical education, and computer vision is at the core of what we do.

On any given day in this role, you might:

* Develop computer vision and machine learning techniques to extract crucial information from surgical videos, using a variety of classical and deep learning approaches
* Collaborate with top medical practitioners and clinical advisors to understand the surgical signals that are most impactful to predict or detect
* Use a diverse variety of image sources, from stereo video streams, to CT scans, to VR
* Contribute to scoping and building new clinical datasets and data pipelines, including new open datasets
* Build models to support surgical decision-making in real time
* Advance the state of the art in the field, generating patents and publications
* Ensure that our machine learning models scale in production, including on edge devices or robotic platforms
* Provide thought leadership, roadmap input, and technical mentorship for other computer vision team members

Why This Matters

C-SATS measures technical skills in healthcare practitioners -- skills that directly impact patients. Practitioners who score poorly generate 3x more complications and 5x more deaths than top performers. Your work will have a direct impact on patient outcomes by helping improve surgeons' skillsets.

The models that you build will have both impact and scale: Major medical centers have completed 1.5 million assessments with C-SATS, and they depend on us to ensure the quality of practitioners and the safety of patients.

Qualifications
