• Analyze device usage, workflow patterns, and performance metrics to identify opportunities for operational optimization.
• Support investigations related to technical issues, protocol adherence, or system adoption.
• Quantify the impact of new operational initiatives, training programs, or technology deployments.
  
  

Research & Evidence Generation

• Contribute to collaborative research projects through data extraction, exploratory analysis, and preparation of figures/tables.
• Assist in preparing datasets and results for publications, white papers, and conference materials.
• Ensure data quality and compliance with regulatory standards such as GDPR, MDR, and ISO 27001.
  
  

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with engineering, medical affairs, data engineering, and customer-facing teams.
• Participate in discussions with hospital partners to understand their data needs and share analytical findings.
• Contribute to the development of internal analytics tools, frameworks, and best practices.
  
  

You're the right fit if you have the following skills and experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Health Informatics, or related discipline.
• Proficiency in Python or R for data analysis.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases.
• Solid understanding of statistical methods, data modeling, and data visualization best practices.
• Experience with tools such as Jupyter, Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, or comparable.
• Experience with BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) is an advantage.
• Familiarity with time-series analysis, signal processing, or device/sensor data.
• Exposure to healthcare environments, biomedical signals, EHR data, or medical devices.
• Interest in machine learning, predictive analytics, or operations research.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
• Curiosity and eagerness to learn clinical and technical domain knowledge.
• Ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative mindset with a proactive, team-oriented approach.
