Data Scientist

bioMerieux’s Data Science group is looking for a Data Scientist to help develop solutions for the next generation product concepts that will have a direct impact on the future of medical diagnostics.

Position Details: 

• The position involves all aspects of feasibility and design work focused on the application of mathematical techniques, data analytics, experiment design, algorithm design and statistical analysis to drive concepts from ideation through feasibility and into development. Algorithm design will involve statistical and machine learning methodologies from design to optimization. Additionally, the Data Scientist will be required to support currently launched products, including manufacturing process development, quality analytics, product evolution and change requests.
• The position will include collaboration and interaction with other scientists and engineers while prototyping, integrating and testing the technology for the next generation of diagnostic products for hospitals and laboratories. Coordination as a project team member with marketing, project management, quality analytics, manufacturing, regulatory and other functional areas will be required.
• The Data Scientist is expected to prototype and design to the goals of functionality and operational utility while considering long term architecture, solution universality, practicality, connectivity, and schedule commitments. The position requires the ability to perform critical analysis, work well in teams, and self-manage.

Minimum Requirements: 

• B.S. degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering with 2 years of work experience in the development of medical devices or
