Research Associate for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) Device Development with Medical Imaging | Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (m/w/d)

Job Summary

The Institute for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (IRAS) at HKA is seeking a Research Associate to join their team in developing a device for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) integrated with medical imaging. This role involves cutting-edge work in multimodal 3D reconstruction, utilizing techniques like Photogrammetry or Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) based on shock wave and position data (similar to ultrasound). Day-to-day responsibilities include developing multimodal fusion methods for various sensor signals (shock wave, temperature), and creating, training, and evaluating AI models—specifically focusing on Anomaly Detection or Instance Segmentation—for automated segmentation and interpretation of medical tissue structures. The ideal candidate holds a degree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a related field, possesses strong knowledge in image interpretation and 3D reconstruction techniques, and is proficient in Python or C++. This is a unique opportunity to contribute scientifically to medical technology, validate components with real ESWT data, and present findings at international conferences.
