Job description

  • Lead the development of the AI-based surgical instrument recognition system, with direct responsibility for design, training and performance of its computer vision and machine learning components.
  • Design and develop computer vision pipelines for surgical instrument detection, classification and tracking, covering the full lifecycle from data acquisition and preprocessing to model training, evaluation and deployment.
  • Write, optimize and maintain production-quality code, ensuring robustness, scalability and reproducibility of AI models.
  • Train and fine-tune machine learning and deep learning models, selecting appropriate architectures, defining evaluation metrics and implementing strategies to improve accuracy and generalization in real hospital environments.
  • Generate datasets, define labeling strategies and data augmentation techniques, and iterate on models based on validation results.
  • Collaborate with the robotics engineering team to support integration of the AI/computer vision modules into the robotic platform, focusing on the perception side of the perception-action loop.
  • Test and validate the system in the central sterilization unit and operating room, analyze performance, identify limitations and propose technical improvements.
  • Document algorithms, code and experimental results to support regulatory processes and scientific dissemination.

Requirements

  • Degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics/Physics with a computational focus, or a related technical field.
  • Master's degree or specialized training in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning or Computer Vision; or equivalent professional experience.
  • Strong hands-on experience developing computer vision and deep learning systems for real-world applications (object detection, segmentation, classification, tracking).
  • Proficiency in Python and practical experience in at least one major deep learning framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
  • Experience with OpenCV and the full model lifecycle-dataset generation, labeling, augmentation, training, evaluation and iterative optimization.
  • Comfortable operating in multidisciplinary environments, with the ability to work closely with clinical staff.
  • Fluency in Spanish (mandatory); Catalan valued as an asset. Good level of English for technical documentation and collaboration.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, autonomy, proactive attitude and genuine ownership of technical decisions.
  • Availability to commute regularly to the Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol or to the HealthTech Innovations offices., * Prior exposure to robotic perception systems or integration of AI components into a robotic platform.

Benefits & conditions

  • Indefinite contract under science law linked to Project CPP2024-011704, fully funded by MICIU/AEI/FEDER and the EU.
  • Immediate incorporation into a highly innovative applied research and development project with direct impact on real clinical environments.
  • Full-time position with a 39-hour work week and flexible working schedule.
  • Hybrid model allowing partial remote work with regular on-site collaboration sessions.
  • 23 days of paid annual leave, plus 5 additional days for personal matters, 2 days for Easter and 2 days for Christmas.
