Data Scientist / Machine Learning

Brain Power is actively seeking a highly skilled, dedicated, and collaborative Machine-Learning specialist or Data Scientist who is ready to contribute to our mission in meaningful ways and make a difference in the lives of people with brain-based challenges.

As a member of our team, you will apply your technical skills to creating next-generation therapies for brain-related conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, and/or anxiety. You will engage with signal processing, computer vision, and machine/deep learning; and implement new state-of-the-art algorithms and models to support research-and-development goals. You will have direct access to data collected from clinical study populations, schools, and end users. 

You will work directly with Amazon Web Services teams developing advanced machine-learning products, and/or Google machine learning or Google Brain teams. We are proud to have direct collaborations and you will get access to the newest and un-released platforms. 

Responsibilities:

• Take the lead in projects involving AI, big data, and machine learning.
• Help design, implement, and analyze techniques in signal processing, computer vision, anomaly detection, early warning detection, human behavior prediction, and deep learning.
• Implement new state-of-the-art algorithms and ML models to support research and development goals.
• Work with real-world human data, such as behavioral, performance, physiological, and mental-state data. 
• Document methods, procedures, and results in ways  that are compliant with federal regulatory standards and recommendations.
• Collaborate with others in a dynamic and lean multidisciplinary team environment to accomplish research goals.
• Document your work. Represent your code graphically for strategy meetings.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Required Background:

• Passion!
• Master’s, PhD, or advanced undergrad in Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Biostatistics, or related field.
• Demonstrated state-of-the-art knowledge of one or more specialization topics such as:
  • Signal processing/feature extraction — ideally with experience in clinical physiology (EEG, EMG, etc.), human kinematics, and/or interpretation of mobile accelerometry data.
  • Image processing/computer vision — particularly applications related to analysis of facial features (detection, recognition, affect classification), body motion tracking and movement classification, and/or real-time image effect processing (dynamic morphing/blending texture maps, “face replacement”).
  • Health informatics/biostatistics — particularly “big data” analysis of epidemiology or clinical/health records, or analysis of large scale non-clinical, public datasets to understand health-related trends.
• Experience using contemporary software and/or hardware tools for algorithm and/or system development for signal processing, image analysis, and/or machine learning.
• Demonstrated initiative and interpersonal skills and ability to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
• Startup mentality

Preferred Background:

• 3+ years experience in one or more of the following: Java, Android, Unity, C, C++, or C#.
• 4+ years experience in one or more of the following: Matlab, R, Python, Tensor Flow.
• Experience applying algorithms to operate in real-time on a mobile/wearable device OS.
• Experience with cloud computing resources and data analysis techniques (e.g. Hadoop, MapReduce, Spark).
• Experience in the AR/VR/xR industry
• Experience in the assistive technology industry.
• Experience working with people with ASD.
