Description du poste

Hepta Medical is a French medical device company developing a minimally-invasive treatment for lung cancer. Their device is a flexible microwave ablation probe that can be introduced into the patient's lung through the airway to locally ablate and destroy tumors. During the procedure, their system can measure temperature locally to monitor the size of the ablation zone, resulting in safer and more efficient treatments.

After successfully raising its SERIES A funding, the company is expanding its team to initiate its clinical operations.

Your missions :

Their ablation probe incorporates a temperature sensor based on microwave radiometry, enabling remote tissue temperature measurements directly from the probe. The data collected by the sensor is combined with procedural CT images to display, in real-time, the growth of the ablation zone through proprietary predictive software.

Your role will be to develop in-house expertise in several scientific areas :

• Microwave radiometry in collaboration with the inventor of the technology;
• Clinical thermal ablation procedures using microwave energy;
• Digital twin modeling based on patients’ CT scans;
• Multi-physics simulation to model our device in vivo based on patients’ anatomy.

Your missions will include :

• Developing in-silico, ex-vivo, and in-vivo experimental protocols;
• Analyzing the generated data;
• Writing scientific papers in collaboration with top academic centers;
• Contributing to cross-projects within the company.

What they can offer :

• Exciting growth opportunities within a fast-growing, high-potential company;
• The chance to contribute to a highly ambitious project with real-world impact;
• A tight-knit, passionate team — like a small family — with strong cohesion and mutual support;
• Inspiring managers eager to share their knowledge and help you grow both technically and personally;
• An international environment, with clinical trials across Europe.

The profile they're looking for :

• PhD in bioengineering, biophysics, or a related field relevant to HEPTA’s activities;
• Thesis related to engineering, ideally with medical applications, combining data analysis and hands-on experimental work in the lab;
• Solid general engineering training, ideally from a top-tier French engineering school (following classe préparatoire);
• Proven coding skills and a strong appetite for data analysis;
• Previous experience with high-power RF systems, embedded electronics, and/or thermometry would be a strong plus;
• Ability to quickly learn new technical domains independently;
• Autonomous, fast learner with an entrepreneurial mindset;
• Ability to apply rigorous and independent design thinking;
• Excellent team fit and interpersonal skills;
• Fluent in English; French is a plus.

Hiring process :

• First interview with a recruiter (in French);
• Second interview with the CEO (in French);
• Third interview with the CTO (in English);
• A take-home technical test (in English);
• Presentation of the test results (in English), with an on-site visit to meet the whole team.
