Apply NowDigital Biomarker Biomedical Engineer (m/f/d) – accelerometer / gyroscope / Python / Matlab / english
Role:
For our client Pharma client in Basel we are looking for a Digital Biomarker Biomedical Engineer (m/f/d).
Background:
Digital tools, such as smartphones or wearables, can now continually measure and collect vital
health information – or „Digital Biomarkers“. Digital Biomarkers are changing how future
medicines will be developed and could lead to more personalized use of new medications that will
transform the lives of patients. Advances in wearable devices, such as phones, watches, textiles
or delivery devices, which track a patient’s vital signs and monitor for symptoms, all have the
potential to vastly accelerate clinical development.
Areas of responsibility:
– Work on large amounts of sensor data from smartphones, wearables and other devices
collected during the daily life of participants in clinical studies
– Develop robust algorithms to infer a variety of disease symptoms in neurological diseases
– Establish reliability, accuracy and validity of your novel algorithms using statistical analysis.
– Use the data produced by your algorithms to help deepen the understanding of how
impairments induced by neurological diseases impact the daily life of a patient.
– Work with our software developers to turn your algorithms into fully documented and validated
high-quality code.
– Drive the understanding of the data analysis results by clinical development programs through
the development of compelling narratives and presentations.
– Contribute to manuscripts for peer-reviewed journal articles to establish the biological, clinical
and patient relevance of data collected in novel digital biomarker approaches.
– Contribute to the improvement and automation of the data processing and analysis pipeline
across programs.
Must Haves:
– PhD or Masters level degree in biomedical engineering, or alternatively mathematics, statistics,
engineering, natural science or informatics
– Min. 3+ years of work experience with analyzing biomedical signals (e.g. movement data such
as accelerometer, gyroscope; screen touch events data from digital hand motor tests; or
measures from digital cognition tests) preferably collected in patients with neurological diseases
– Strong experience with analyzing and visualizing large data sets
– Hands on experience with time series analysis and signal processing methodologies (e.g. time
and frequency domain: FFT, wavelets; system identification: AR, ARMA models; digital filters
design: FIR, IIR; )
– Basic understanding of data analysis and machine learning concepts (traintest sets, cross validation, etc.)
– Facility in Python, R, Matlab or similar software packages/languages
– Highly efficient user of Google Docs suite or MS Office, excellent slide writer
– Excellent analytical, communication and writing skills in English
– Publication record appropriate for career level and path
– Experience working independently within a collaborative team
Nice to Haves:
– Experience with software development processes and version tools (Git, Jira, etc.)
– Experience with Agile methodologies and ceremonies
– Experience with deep learning and other machine learning techniques
– Previous hands-on clinical experience with Multiple Sclerosis. Experience in Parkinson’s
Disease, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Schizophrenia; neuromuscular atrophies/dystrophies is also
relevant.
– Experience in experimental/clinical study design
