Autonomy Engineer

Remedy Robotics is a medical technology company developing robotic systems for endovascular intervention. Its proprietary technology combines robotics, machine learning, and advanced computer vision to help physicians perform highly precise endovascular procedures and expand access to life-saving stroke and cardiovascular care. Initially focused on neurovascular intervention, Remedy is addressing the limited availability of specialized treatment for time-critical cardiovascular emergencies, with the long-term goal of enabling expert intervention regardless of patient location. Headquartered in San Francisco, Remedy is backed by DCVC, Blackbird, and Tony Fadell's Build Collective, among others.

We’re looking for an autonomy engineer to lead the development of an autonomous robotic system for life-saving interventions when and where human specialists are unavailable.

You will leverage large-scale datasets to train and evaluate deep learning models that enable robots to understand anatomy, reason about intervention strategies, and safely operate a robot in highly constrained human vasculatures. This role is primarily focused on machine learning, but is interdisciplinary and will also involve simulation, medical imaging, and robotics.

You will collaborate closely with other machine learning engineers, roboticists, and clinicians to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy. The ideal candidate is excited by challenging, open-ended technical problems and highly motivated by our ultimate mission: to save lives.
