We believe the future of the operating room lies in the hands of the empowered surgeon. They are bolstered with complete control, renewed confidence, and technology adaptable to any situation.

Our Maestro System delivers this empowerment, resulting in improved operating room efficiency and surgical care for patients - We are using tomorrow's technology to change surgery today.

Our blended French-American team is passionate about building this future. Together we are pushing the boundaries in a fast-paced yet focused and deliberate environment. We challenge ourselves often and celebrate our achievements. We believe that communication and planning are as important as execution.

🎉 The Role

Your Core Responsibilities

• Contribute to novel computer vision and machine learning algorithms development that meet real-world performance and safety enhancements for the users of the system
• Contribute to organizing large quantities of surgical vision data for algorithm development purposes
• Apply state-of-the-art knowledge in areas of computer vision and machine learning to surgical vision domain
• Work closely with cross-functional teams (Software and Clinical) to ensure the engineering integrity and clinical relevance of the project.
• Conduct technical presentations of the project in a cross-functional team environment
