Description | |
ECS is seeking a Biomedical Engineer: Imaging Research Technical Advisor to work in our Washington, DC (Hybrid) office. Please Note: This position is contingent upon [contract award OR additional funding].
Job Description: Are you a passionate, innovative biomedical engineer with expertise in optical engineering and/or ultrasound technologies ready to tackle one of the biggest challenges in science?
Precision Surgical Interventions (PSI) aims to help all surgical procedures reach their intended goal with no errors and no need for re-operation. The program aims to develop solutions to two major surgical problems associated with the removal of a solid tumor: tumor edge visualization and critical anatomy visualization.
The PSI program, a groundbreaking initiative by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), seeks talented and driven Senior Biomedical Engineers to join our team. In this crucial role, you will serve as a scientific and technical advisor—providing support and thought leadership to the delivery team responsible for research and development for revolutionary approaches that will provide surgeons tumor edge visualization and critical anatomy visualization during a real-time operation.
About the PSI Program: Every year, nearly 2 million Americans are newly diagnosed with cancer. For solid tumors, surgical removal is often the first option but tissue visualization is a challenge. Detailed medical imaging may be available before surgery, but there are not tools that let surgeons see nerves, blood vessels, and lymph ducts during the operation. The PSI program aims to change that by supporting the development of technologies and devices to improve cancer localization, healthy structure localization, and outcomes during surgery.
