Beacon Biosignals is transforming precision medicine for the brain through at-home EEG and biosignal platforms for clinical development and diagnostics. The company combines EEG and cardiopulmonary signals to deliver reimbursable assessments for sleep and central nervous system disorders.
As a Senior Algorithm Engineer, you will work within Beacon's analytics and machine learning domain alongside data scientists, neuroscientists, engineers, and clinicians. Your primary responsibilities include scoping, building, deploying, and maintaining machine and deep learning models that analyze brain and biosignal data for advancing sleep, neurological, and psychiatric therapy development.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead the entire biosignal-based algorithm development lifecycle for medical devices, including specifications gathering, data curation and labeling, development, failure analysis, production, maintenance, and documentation
- Select and implement appropriate methods for each problem, knowing when to apply deep learning versus other techniques
- Enhance internal deep learning and machine learning tools to boost team efficiency and introduce new model architectures
- Establish and spread best practices to ensure algorithm implementations are user-friendly, well-documented, and thoroughly tested with unit tests, CI/CD, and non-regression testing
- Present results to key stakeholders and support client-facing projects to understand algorithm impact
- Participate in the full algorithm development lifecycle from scoping through production deployment
Required qualifications:
- 5+ years of industry experience in machine learning and deep learning, particularly in health sciences or regulated fields, with proven track record of production deployments
- Strong expertise in digital signal processing (DSP) and statistics
- Proficiency with PyTorch or other deep learning frameworks
- Experience with latest deep learning advances (Transformers, ViT, large-scale modeling)
- Strong software and ML engineering practices including testing, version control, code reviews, documentation, Dockerization, and CI/CD
- Experience with biosignals, medical imaging, or large time-series datasets
- Excellent communication skills for presenting complex technical topics to diverse audiences
- Collaborative mindset with emphasis on open communication and continuous feedback
Beacon maintains office hubs in Boston, New York City, and Paris, but this role is fully remote. The company emphasizes cultural and scientific impact through diverse teams and values curiosity, simplicity, composability, self-service mindset, and empathy toward colleagues and patients.
