Your opportunity

By joining the Kardium team, you can help make a difference in the lives of millions around the world. We have developed a ground-breaking medical device for the diagnosis and treatment of the most common heart rhythm disorder, atrial fibrillation – which can cause stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.

Kardium’s mission is to deliver the best treatment for atrial fibrillation. To achieve this, we have developed The Globe Pulsed Field System – we have a fantastic technical team that has developed a product with strong, unique, and customer-valued differentiators versus other solutions on the market. We have built connections with key opinion leaders who are already using the Globe System and are helping to tell our story.

We have now completed our pivotal clinical study and our focus is on regulatory approvals and commercial launch. This is an exciting and significant milestone in our journey to bring this ground-breaking technology to patients.

As our Biomedical Algorithms Engineer, you will join Kardium’s Cardiac Mapping team in designing, developing, and evaluating algorithms to turn raw data into actionable information for physicians. You will support the development of 3-dimensional maps used by electrophysiologists during cardiac ablation procedures, using a wealth of electrical, anatomical, and spatial information as inputs. You would have the opportunity to bring your creative and innovative ideas to help Kardium achieve its goal of helping improve people’s lives.

Please note, this opportunity is a hybrid work arrangement, located in Burnaby, BC.

Meaningful work you will be a part of

Your responsibilities will include:

• Apply scientific investigation methods to drive product innovations in mapping and navigation algorithms.
• Design, implement and evaluate algorithmic approaches to meet clinical needs related to navigation, electrophysiology, and ablation.
• Systematically analyze large multivariate data sets of electrophysiological, anatomical, spatial, and procedural data.
• Contribute to internal software tools for large multivariate data sets of electrophysiological, anatomical, spatial, and procedural data.
• Act as an independent problem-solver, finding ways to connect customer-facing deliverables to appropriate technical problem statements and solutions.
• Design experiments to evaluate the performance of new algorithms.
• Advance Kardium’s intellectual property by contributing to our patent portfolio.
• Communicate experiments, analyses and results to teammates and senior leadership.
• Supplement algorithmic analysis with occasional hands-on, benchtop data collection (if hybrid).
