We are looking for a motivated Data Science Intern to join our Medical Imaging and Computer Vision team. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience developing AI models that solve real-world healthcare challenges.

Key Responsibilities

Assist in developing and evaluating deep learning models for medical imaging (e.g., classification, segmentation, object detection).

Support image preprocessing, annotation, and data handling workflows involving DICOM and clinical image formats.

Help design and test pipelines for tasks like OCR, entity detection, and de-identification of sensitive medical data.

Collaborate with data scientists and medical experts to understand clinical requirements.

Participate in model validation, error analysis, and performance tuning.

Contribute to internal documentation, code organization, and reproducibility using tools like Git and Docker.

Required Skills And Qualifications

Recent Bachelor’s or Master’s graduate in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

Strong interest in computer vision and medical imaging.

Familiarity with Python and at least one deep learning library (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).

Basic knowledge of OpenCV, image processing, or model training workflows.

Good problem-solving skills and willingness to learn.

Strong communication and team collaboration abilities.

Preferred Skills (Good To Have)

Academic or project exposure to medical imaging or OCR systems.

Basic understanding of Docker, Git, or cloud services (AWS/GCP).

Awareness of HIPAA, data privacy, or ethical AI practices.

What We Offer

Work on impactful healthcare AI projects.

Mentorship from experienced professionals in AI, clinical research, and medical imaging.

A collaborative and fast-paced learning environment.

Access to world-class datasets and compute infrastructure.

Possibility of full-time conversion based on performance and project needs.
