About the role:
We are seeking a Tech Lead for Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)
As part of ContextVision’s ambition to grow, by exploring new areas within ultrasound, we are currently seeking a Tech Lead to spearhead the R&D effort for their new business area Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). This is a new role where you will play a pivotal part in building something from the ground up.
With a strong technology foundation in technology design, image/signal processing, and machine learning, the focus will be on developing ultrasound products to revolutionize the use of ultrasound by simplifying acquisition and interpretation. Innovations targeting this direction will enable ultrasound for new user groups and future patient management, where one example includes the staging and monitoring of chronic diseases.
In this role, you’ll be the one diving into the technology, drafting system architecture, evaluating existing technologies, as well as crafting initial prototypes through hands-on coding, and collaborating closely with the POCUS Program Director, R&D, and external partners. As the POCUS field expands and matures, your role will naturally evolve to encompass more leadership responsibilities, where you’ll guide and inspire others to innovate. Nevertheless, your foundational hands-on expertise will remain invaluable, serving as a cornerstone for driving forward the vision and goals in POCUS.
