Image Processing SME (2025-0073)

About the role

The successful candidate will provide expertise in developing algorithms to correct scientific image data containing aberrations, lensing defects, optical anomalies, distortions, and non-linearity. They will also have experience in object detection, feature extraction, and pattern recognition in high-resolution images, particularly from microscopes.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and develop algorithms to correct scientific image data containing aberrations, lensing defects, optical anomalies, distortions, and non-linearity.
• Develop and apply image preprocessing techniques such as noise reduction, contrast enhancement, and edge detection for microscopy data.
• Handle large, high-resolution image datasets and optimize algorithms for performance and accuracy.
• Train and deploy machine learning models for real-time or batch image analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with project goals and deliverables.

Requirements

• A master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Mathematics.
• Experience in developing algorithms for object detection, feature extraction, and pattern recognition in high-resolution images, particularly from microscopes.
• Proficiency in stitching or combining multiple images into seamless mosaics, including handling alignment, blending, and geometric transformations for high-resolution microscopy data.
• Familiarity with image preprocessing techniques (e.g., noise reduction, contrast enhancement, edge detection) for microscopy data.
• Ability to handle large, high-resolution image datasets and optimize algorithms for performance and accuracy.
• Knowledge of training and deploying machine learning models for real-time or batch image analysis.
