Overview

You will have a leading role in the development of the image processing and user (surgeon) interface for InSyte Bio’s innovative platform for molecularly guided surgery. We are looking for an outstanding Computer Science/Electrical Engineer and intuitive ‘hacker’ with comfortability in image processing, co-registration across different imaging modalities, 3D visualization. It's a bonus if you have working knowledge or experience with electronics (FPGA, PCB design, assembly, debugging).

You will closely work with a team spanning electronics, biology, and oncology as we redefine cancer surgery. Specifically, you will be the interface between our team and our surgical advisory team - ensuring seamless conveyance of results in real-time in the operating room via the software interface that you develop. At InSyte Bio, you will be deeply involved in developing our next generation imaging platform with a multidisciplinary team - enabling you to gain a wide spectrum of exposure across the biomedical space. Moreover, you will have an opportunity to take part and gain exposure in a wide array of activities, including interacting with surgeons, vendors, the FDA, corporate partners, and investors.

Location: Bay Area, CA, Full time in person only.

What You Will Be Doing

Designing our user interface, with rapid quantitative display of image data. You will work with our surgical co-advisors on the optimal user interface and integration into the operating room.

What You Can Expect

A fast-paced, innovative, multidisciplinary environment spanning engineering, optics, biology and surgery. Working closely with the founder, Dr. Anwar, and a growing team of innovative engineers and scientists, first-in-class intraoperative imaging platform.
Opportunities for growth and expanding learning/exposure over multiple verticals including software engineering, electronics, optics, biology and surgery.
Equity
Leadership opportunities.
Ability to publish in leading journals and share results at top international conferences.
Working with key leaders in the field of imaging and surgery.
Collaborations with top universities as sites of first clinical trials.

To Be Successful, You Will Need

Degree (MS, PhD, ScD) in Physics, Engineering (Computer science, ML/AI, Electrical, EECS, ECE, Bioengineering) or closely related field. BA/BS will be considered with significant project or research experience. For all applicants, please share a summary of your projects or work.

Works well in a team, adaptable with respect to project tasks

Organized as you will need to keep track of multiple stakeholders in bringing together the product.

Experience with

Image processing.
Hands-on laboratory experience with electronics (formal education/coursework/degree is less important than someone who has spent time in the lab, making something).
Experience with image recognition and 3D rendering is a plus
Image processing
Coding (Python, other languages)

Nice skills and background to have

Working knowledge of CCDs, CMOS, and integration into imaging systems
Imager operation (CCD, CMOS, etc)
Comfort with FPGA, PCB design and assembly.
Good electrical engineering laboratory skills

Position Details

InSyte Bio is an early stage startup dedicated to dramatically improving cancer outcomes by ensuring that cancer surgeries remove all tumor cells. Currently almost a third of cancer surgeries leave cells behind because they cannot be seen or felt, doubling the risk that cancer returns, and requiring patients to get significant additional surgery, chemotherapy or radiation to try to mitigate this risk - often with poor results. Ensuring all tumor cells are removed in a single operation will be a major improvement in cancer care.

Commensurate with experience, a competitive base-pay and equity package, which has significant upside given the company's early stage. Opportunities for a leadership role and title are available. Sign on/relocation bonus is provided. Milestone-based bonuses are also provided, significantly increasing the total compensation.

InSyte Bio offers a full range of benefits, including health care, vacation days.

InsSyte Bio is committed to a diverse and welcoming environment.

Individuals seeking employment at InSyte Bio are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Overview of InSyte Bio

InSyte Bio’s mission is to eliminate the recurrence by ensuring removal of all cancer cells during surgery.

Nearly 1 in 3 cancer surgeries leave cells behind, doubling the rate that cancer returns. InSyte Bio has developed a revolutionary surgical imaging system that can detect cancer cells 10,000 times more precisely than existing solutions in real-time, during surgery, enabling surgeons and oncologists to effectively combat the spread of cancer. The key to our approach is an ultra-miniaturized molecular imager, directly integrated into virtually any surgical instrument, seamlessly operating in the complex, small minimally invasive cavities common to modern cancer surgeries. Unlike any other technology available, InSytes approach not only enables orders of magnitude more precision, but also enables imaging at the tissue surface and deep in tissue, where the earliest signs of cancer spread in lymph nodes can hide. This guides surgery in a far more personalized manner, potentially leading to significantly improved clinical outcomes.

The technology has been developed (and patents issued), and InSyte’s near term goal is a first in human demonstration of this technology. With the ability to completely transform all cancer surgeries into molecularly guided procedures, we are poised to significantly improve the outcomes of the 600-800 thousand patients a year who undergo cancer surgery. Moreover, precision intraoperative imaging will guide cancer care throughout the arc of the patient's journey, shaping the need for postoperative therapy, such as radiation and chemotherapy - enabling these therapies to be allied in a much more personalized fashion.
