Stryker • Menlo Park, CA

22h • $116,100 - $193,400 • Hybrid

About The Position

Lead the development and optimization of state-of-the-art computer vision and Artificial Intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms and models from conceptualization to deployment on both edge and cloud platforms. Conduct rigorous performance analysis to systematically improve the functionality of computer vision and AI/ML techniques within our product suite. Manage the entire lifecycle of data handling for machine learning models, ensuring compliance with privacy standards during data collection, processing, and labeling. Ensure the reliability and robustness of computer vision and machine learning applications under diverse operational conditions. Independently design, prototype, evaluate, optimize, implement and deploy computer vision and AI/ML algorithms as an integral part of AI-powered medical devices and technologies. Be an expert in applying core machine learning techniques including deep learning, feature extraction, model training, evaluation and deployment to design and develop AI-powered medical devices. Skilled in quickly identifying key advances in the computer vision and AI/ML literature and relevance to problems being solved as well as explaining and justifying usage of new approaches through prototyping and demonstration. Design and develop novel computer vision and/or machine learning algorithms in areas such as: real-time scene and object tracking (e.g. face tracking, body tracking, key point estimation), depth sensing, 3D stereo and volumetric reconstruction, 2D / 3D medical imaging segmentation, deriving biomarkers from medical imaging such as CT scans, X-Ray, MRI, etc. Collaborate with internal or external teams in acquiring, storing, organizing, annotating, versioning and processing large amounts of data needed for training computer vision and machine learning models. Design algorithm evaluation frameworks, schedule and report algorithm, AI/ML model, and system performance regularly. Document and present progress in algorithm design, development, and evaluation (requirements/design/architecture/bugs/tests).
