Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first - developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact.

A Day in the Life

Medtronic Digital Technologies is creating ambitious new products that bring connectivity, real-time guidance, and decision support to the operating room. To support this mission, we are developing compact, high-performance, embedded systems that enable edge computing and connectivity. Working closely with other teams across Medtronic, we are creating a connected ecosystem and leveraging the state of the art in computer vision to provide the most comprehensive view of surgery. If you're interested in using cutting-edge technology to improve the standard of care in surgery on a global scale, this could be the place for you.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Benchmarking and optimizing different existing network architectures and their latency in different target platforms.
• Further re-designing or optimizing existing network architectures to improve their forward flow and reduce latency.
• Developing production pipelines in the cloud or edge devices to process surgical videos in real-time with our optimized models.
• Delivering well-written and high-quality code.
• Sharing results during regular meetings.
• Staying updated with state-of-the-art methods and propose novel approaches for problems at hand (we try to devote time to do research and share it with the team).

Required Qualifications:

• A Master or PhD in, Computer Science, Mathematics, Computer Vision/Machine Learning or similar related field.
• Proven ability to design and build computer vision networks using Pytorch.
• Knowledge of different optimization methods (e.g. pruning, sparsity, quantization etc..).
• Experience with AI optimization tools (e.g. TensorRT).
• Very knowledgeable in Python and relevant numerical libraries (numpy, scikit-learn, opencv, etc.).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Computer Vision.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced knowledge on AI-based optimization methods (QAT, Knowledge Distillation, Network Sparsification etc..).
• Knowledge of AWS cloud and experience with their services (EKS, ECS, ...) and docker.
• Knowledge of C++ and CUDA, and ideally experience writing custom kernels / operators.
• Data visualization experience would also be useful for this role.
• Excellent communicator - You are comfortable talking with programmers, marketers, surgeons, business leaders, and everyone in-between.
• Experience of working in video processing or equivalent performance sensitive or high-performance applications.
