If you’re an intrinsically motivated self-starter who values impactful work, join us in revolutionizing healthcare.

We’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer (ASR) to join our AI team. You will be at the forefront of developing the speech recognition systems that power real-world applications used by clinicians every day. Location: Preferably Hybrid (Luxembourg or Berlin) or Remote (Germany or Luxembourg).

This Is What You’ll Own

• ASR Model Development: Fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy state-of-the-art models in speech recognition and audio processing (e.g., Whisper, wav2vec).
• Data Curation & Annotation: Collect and curate custom ASR datasets, including data sourcing, annotation pipeline setup, quality control, and alignment/segmentation procedures.
• Audio Pipelines: Build and maintain robust data pipelines and audio preprocessing workflows for clinical environments.
• MLOps Collaboration: Work closely with the MLOps team to ensure continuous training, monitoring, and seamless deployment of models in production.
• Experimentation: Design and conduct experiments to validate new approaches, datasets, and architectures to improve accuracy in noisy or specialized medical settings.
• Cross-Functional Impact: Collaborate with product managers and developers to translate complex speech solutions into production-ready healthcare tools.
