Scientific Computing & Data Analytics Engineer

I'm working on behalf of a growing medical device company in the imaging space (FDA-regulated, breast imaging technology) that's consolidating a role sitting right between production, image reconstruction, and clinical research. Think hands-on data analytics, not an ivory-tower research gig.

What the work actually looks like:

You'd be knee-deep in clinical study data, checking how repeatable and accurate their imaging is across different sites and patients. You'd dig into image reconstruction, figuring out how raw scanner data turns into a usable image and where that pipeline can get better. And as their software evolves, you'd be the one benchmarking one version against the next to prove it's actually improving.

What you'll need:

• 5-7 years of real, hands-on industry experience. This one's not for someone fresh out of a postdoc, they need someone who can walk in and contribute fast.
• Solid Python skills and comfortable living on Linux
• A background in medical imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound, whatever), breast imaging is a bonus but not required, and honestly, if you've done similar imaging work in aerospace or defense, that translates well too
• Some exposure to FDA-regulated environments or clinical study data helps a lot
• ML/AI experience is a nice bonus but not the main event here

Why it's worth a look:

It's a small company (44 people) so you're not just a cog, you're close to leadership and reporting to the Chief Science Officer. They're ramping up several clinical studies this fall, so you'd be building processes now, not maintaining someone else's legacy system. Based in the Santa Rosa area, or open to a hybrid setup for the right person.
