Software Engineer in Digital Health Technologies for the Development of a User Interface for a Novel Brain Imaging System
60%-80%, Zurich, fixed-term
The Rehabilitation Engineering Lab (RELab) at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich is an interdisciplinary group with competencies in mechanical and electrical engineering, movement science, neurorehabilitation and neuroscience. The RELab uses robotics, wearable sensor technologies, and non-invasive neuroimaging to explore, assess and restore sensorimotor function in persons with neurological injury, to promote sensorimotor recovery and independence.
Project background
In the optohive project, we have developed a novel brain imaging system that is based on the near-infrared imaging (NIRI) technology to support fast and wearable brain recordings. We are searching for a software engineer to support the project advancing the standalone optohive software for medical applications. In particular, an end-to-end solution for clinicians will be developed that can stream data from the optohive hardware to a cloud-based server, further including real-time processing and visualization of the brain recordings. The recorded data will be analyzed with advanced algorithms, based on which biomarkers for the users will be extracted and presented in an understandable way. In this position, you will have a strong translatory focus to make the developed software ready for the market and to continue your work in a startup setting in the future.
Job description
Your tasks will include:
- Familiarize with the optohive NIRI system
- Adapt and develop new components of the optohive user interface, considering medical use cases
- Implement a cloud-based software framework and an end-to-end data management plan, considering privacy regulations
- Implementation of data analysis/visualization pipelines for brain biomarkers
- Develop an AI prototype to analyze large datasets
- Support the team with software inquiries, including business plan and best programming practices.
We are looking for a candidate that can start as soon as possible with a workload of 60-80%.
