The Role
Forget incremental improvements. This company is building the surgical intelligence layer, a platform that combines computer vision, AI, and augmented reality to give surgeons and robots real-time 3D navigation. Their core differentiator: a surgical foundation model, trained on kinematics, tissue interactions, and surgeon intent captured across deployed endpoints. This isn't academic research; it's about shipping models that fundamentally change surgical outcomes.
This isn't a research role. You'll lead the AI pillar end-to-end, building a team from the ground up. Your mandate: ship production AI. That means delivering an anatomy recognition model for neurosurgery (prototype by Q2 2028, ≥85% accuracy), then evolving the foundation model from computer vision to vision-language-action for device automation. You'll architect the data pipeline, own the federated learning stack, and define the boundary with the simulation team on synthetic data and sim-to-real transfer. Models in research are interesting; models in the operating room are valuable.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
- Deliver a working prototype of the anatomy recognition model for neurosurgery by Q2 2028, hitting ≥85% segmentation accuracy.
- Lead the surgical foundation model program: from computer vision and segmentation, to vision-language, to vision-language-action models for device automation.
- Architect the data pipeline for kinematics and tissue-interaction data across all deployed endpoints.
- Own the federated learning stack, deploying NVIDIA FLARE for privacy-preserving model improvement.
- Define the boundary and partner with the simulation team on Isaac Sim, synthetic data, and sim-to-real transfer.
Requirements
- You've shipped production AI/ML models. Computer vision, segmentation, or vision-language experience is ideal.
- Experience with medical imaging (DICOM, segmentation networks, MONAI) or a rapid ability to ramp into it.
- You've worked with real-time inference constraints: sub-20ms latency, deployment to edge hardware like NVIDIA AGX.
- You own DGX/RTX-class training infrastructure and MLOps. Federated learning experience is a strong plus.
- You've led at least 2-3 engineers and want to grow a full AI pillar.
- Based in or around London, or able to work in person 3+ days a week.
