Senior Biomedical Data Scientist

At Myant, we are creating the world’s first expressive and continuous digital presence platform, enabled by integrating technology directly into clothing and augmented by other devices, wearables, and IOT. We see the evolution of society where every member gets to participate from anywhere and anytime through a whole-body experience, mostly in a passive or ambient manner to foster ubiquitous accessibility. Humans have a fundamental desire and need to be connected to our environment, family, community, and technology. This level of connection will create a paradigm shift in the way we deal with each other, especially from afar, allowing for more meaningful relationships, and more in-depth representation of ourselves.

The need for this type of connection is not new. There are many companies working on ways to connect humans in singularity with technology, however most of these technologies are based on devices that are often used in episodical ways hence, leading to poor adoption or reliability. In general, innovation and technology have delivered significant benefits for many members of society. However, there are those who are left behind, namely the very young, the marginalized, the old and the sick. The challenge of inclusion for those left behind requires us to move beyond device focused strategies, towards an interface that we use naturally, every day. We believe that textile is that primary interface, used in clothing, coverings, carpeting and more, we wear and are surrounded by textiles universally, at all times.

Such an interface could fuse data with other devices that we use periodically and data with other IoTs in the environment. People could then leverage their physical presence over their digital presence to communicate and share personal wellbeing. This could unlock healthcare that is proactive and preventative, social connectedness that is more profound, enable care distribution models to be seamless and on demand, better fitness insights, safer working environments and more.

The vision for SKIIN -our first consumer-facing brand- is to enhance human ability through connected clothing and textiles. Skiin is in beta-phase market launch and has been recently granted Health Canada medical device license and submitted to FDA for regulatory approval in the US market. The sensors and actuators embedded within our apparel create your Digital Identity, which will be consumed by those who matter to you - your family members, physicians, trainers, other IoT devices - without you consciously having to think about it. The line between the digital and physical world is becoming increasingly blurry and we believe textile is the next medium to bridge that gap.

We are a multi-disciplinary technology team solving big challenges at the intersection of electronics, deep tech., software, design, advanced manufacturing and data science.

What we offer at Myant:

• Employee stock options
• Paid Sick Days and Floating Days
• Group Health Insurance Plan
• RRSP matching Plan
• Corporate Events
• Exposure working in one of the most innovative and forward-thinking tech company.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a senior hands-on and motivated Biomedical Data Scientist to join Myant’s Datascience team. The ideal candidate will have industrial experience in working with biomedical data from wearables to extract useful medical and health information from Skiin platform, and build models for prediction, and trend and event analysis to realize early diagnosis and monitored rehabilitation. The senior biomedical datascientist will own and be responsible for some features of the Skiin product in terms of algorithms, will work closely with the datascience team with potential transition to a managing role in the datascience team, and will work with biomedical systems, software, product, hardware teams considering both the technical and commercial aspects of the developments.

Responsibilities :

• Take ownership of all the deliverables and communicate the results in the form of presentations and detailed documents besides the developed code for timely project delivery.
• Planning and providing timelines for the development of algorithms for Skiin platform based on product requirements and R&D research.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, partners and external researchers to define and execute projects for development of algorithm-based features for Skiin platform.
• Develop and implement offline and real-time statistical and machine learning algorithms/models for the analysis of large-scale longitudinal biomedical data as part of Skiin monitoring system.
• Design and optimize data processing pipelines for efficient extraction, transformation, and analysis of biomedical real world data including handling of the noise and missing data.
• Work closely with the Software team to ensure proper deployment of the algorithms/ML models in the Myant Health Platform and contribute along with the QA and V&V team for testing the deployed algorithm. Contribute in troubleshooting regarding the algorithm aspects when receiving feedback/complaints.
• Work closely with clinical science team and clinical partners and perform signal processing and data analysis on clinical study datasets for internal and public presentations and publications.
• Stay current with emerging technologies and methodologies in biomedical data science.
• Working in an ISO-13485 and HIPAA regulated environment, following quality procedures for design and development as well as verification and validation for clinical use, including all required documentation to support regulatory approval.

Qualifications:

• PhD in Biomedical, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines, or equivalent experience in relevant industry.
• Experience working in the medical device industry, or working with industrial partners in the medical field.
• Extensive experience in modern scripting languages including Python.
• Proven experience working with biomedical data including longitudinal health related data and clinical data.
• Experience in long term biomedical recording and data analysis, from wearable systems and related signal analysis, handling of noise, missing data etc.
• Experience working on bio-signals such as electrocardiogram, electromyogram, electroencephalogram, photo-plethysmogram, accelerometry signals.
• Familiarity with generative AI and Large Language Models for medical and health applications
• Expertise in machine learning and statistical analysis methods applied to biomedical data.
• Familiarity with biomedical data visualization and relevant tools and techniques.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with cloud computing platforms (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud).
• Direct experience with generative AI and Large Language Models for medical applications
