[Matt McMahon]

Image Processing Engineer for Implantable Vision System

The successful candidate will develop image processing algorithms for 
use with an implanted retinal prosthesis. The device is implanted in 
patients who have become blind due to retinal disease and degeneration. 
  The prosthesis consists of electrodes placed on the ganglion cell 
layer of the retina, an electronic pulse generator, a camera and a belt 
worn image processing device.

The candidate should be familiar with image enhancement and methods. 
Work will be done in collaboration with groups breaking new ground 
studying the effects of electrical stimulation on the retina in vitro, 
as well as groups studying the perception of electrical stimulation in 
human patients in a clinical setting.

The ideal candidate has a strong academic or industrial background in 
signal processing.  Hands-on experience with DSP hardware and software 
systems is desirable.

This is an unique opportunity to carry out cutting edge research in a 
medical device company with significant academic collaboration and 
provides an excellent path for persons with image processing expertise 
to work on the most advanced implantable medical device that exist today.
