With experts in\nbiomedical science, software engineering, and program\nmanagement, we focus on developing and applying research\ntools and techniques to empower decision-making and\naccelerate research discoveries. We work with some of the\ntop research organizations and facilities in the country\nincluding multiple institutes at the National Institutes of\nHealth (NIH).\nBenefits We Offer:\n100% Medical, Dental & Vision Coverage for Employees\nPaid Time Off and Paid Holidays\n401K match up to 5%\nEducational Benefits for Career Growth\nEmployee Referral Bonus\nFlexible Spending Accounts:\nHealthcare (FSA)\nParking Reimbursement Account (PRK)\nDependent Care Assistant Program (DCAP)\nTransportation Reimbursement Account (TRN)\n\nPosition Overview\nAxle Informatics is seeking a Data Scientist with a strong background in medical imaging and AI to help turn clinical images into research-ready data and models. You will join a team that builds reproducible pipelines for preparing, segmenting, and analyzing medical images, and for linking imaging results to clinical data for machine learning.\nThis is a hands-on role. You will write and maintain productionPython, apply both AI and traditional image analysis methods to large imaging collections, and build and evaluate models that combine imaging with other clinical data. You will be expected to check results critically and catch problems before they become findings. \nThe work supports biomedical research programs with federal health partners. You will work in a highly interdisciplinary environment, where progress depends on understanding colleagues from other disciplines and helping them understand you. It values scientific rigor, reproducibility, well-tested code, and open collaboration. If you enjoy the full path from raw images to a validated model, and want that work to be usable by others, we would love to meet you.\nKey Responsibilities:\nMedical Image Processing: Build and maintain Python pipelines that prepare large, varied medical imaging collections for analysis, with attention to metadata quality and the inconsistencies found in real clinical data.\n\nAI for Medical Imaging: Develop, apply, and evaluate AI models for segmentation, classification, and image embeddings. Judge model quality and decide when a model needs retraining or a different approach.\n\nTraditional Image Analysis: Apply established image analysis methods for registration, normalization, and feature extraction, and combine them with machine learning where they fit the problem.\n\nMachine Learning and Multimodal Modeling: Build and evaluate models that combine imaging with clinical data and reports, using sound validation practices.\n\nClinical Data Integration: Work with clinical data models and standard vocabularies to connect imaging results with patient records, cohorts, and outcomes.\n\nReproducible, Scalable Workflows: Run pipelines with workflow orchestration, containers, and cluster or cloud computing. Keep code tested and documented soothers can rerun the work.\n\nCollaboration and Communication: Work closely with clinicians, imaging scientists, and software engineers to define questions and interpret results. Present findings clearly, and contribute to publications, conference presentations, and open-source tools.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nMaster's degree or PhD in biomedical engineering, computer science, data science, medical physics, electrical engineering, or a related quantitative field, or a Bachelor'sdegree with equivalent experience.\n\nThree or more years of hands-on experience in medical image analysis, in research or industry.\n\nStrong Python skills, including scientific computing and deep learning libraries, with a habit of writing tested, maintainable code.\n\nFamiliarity with DICOM, NIfTI, and other medical image formats.\n\nExperience applying AI to medical images across segmentation, classification, and embeddings.\n\nExperience with traditional image analysis algorithms for registration, feature extraction, and machine learning.\n\nExperience evaluating models rigorously on imaging data, with sound validation design and appropriate performance metrics.\n\nExperience working with clinical imaging data and its privacyrequirements.\n\nComfort working in Linux environments with version control and containers.\n\nCollaboration & Communication: Ability to work effectively in a highly interdisciplinary environment with clinicians, imaging scientists, biologists, and software engineers, and to explain complex technical concepts clearly to people in other disciplines. \n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with Nextflowor similar workflow orchestration tools on clusters or cloud platforms.\n\nExperience with EHR data, clinical data models such as OMOP or FHIR, and standa\n\nclinical vocabularies.\n\nFamiliarity with the OMOP medical imaging extension, or with imaging data in research data warehouses.\n\nExperience with multimodal models that combine imaging with EHR data or clinical text, including medical foundation models.\n\nExperience with microscopy or digital pathology image analysis.\n\nExperience with SQL and relational or analytical databases.\n\nTrack record of publications, conference presentations, or open-source contributions in medical imaging or machine learning.\n\nExperience working with NIH or other federal health and biomedical research organizations.\n\nDisclaimer: The above description is meant to illustrate the general nature of work and\nlevel of effort being performed by individuals assigned to this position or job description.
