Clinical Development Scientist

We’re seeking a curious, creative, and motivated individual to help build an innovation-driven, early-stage MedTech spin-out and shape the future of surgery. You’ll play a pivotal role in developing our next-generation imaging system to address pressing clinical needs. As a Clinical Development Scientist, you will bridge the gap between clinical and technical teams, with the unique ability to help steer the clinical development of our hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology to maximise its clinical potential.What You’ll DoDriving Clinical TrialsIdentify clinical needs and help address these as part of the development of our next-generation HSI- enabled vision system for surgery.Play a critical role in the planning, execution, and management of clinical trials and research studies in accordance with ISO 14155.Support the selection and management of clinical research sites, investigators, and external vendors, ensuring compliance with study protocols and regulatory requirements.Support the deployment of the medical imaging devices in theatres.Collaborate closely with surgical teams to ensure adherence to clinical protocols and the collection of high-quality clinical data.Shaping Product Innovation and User ExperienceContribute to the specification and design of novel solutions combining software and hardware technology to ensure future products best address these needs.Observe and document system usability, feeding insights into usability engineering and risk management processes under IEC 62366 and ISO 14971.Collaborate with technical teams during the product development cycle within our ISO 13485 Quality Management System.Manage, analyse and interpret clinical trial data, collaborating with research scientists and clinicians to generate actionable insights.Contribute to the preparations and presentation of study findings and clinical trial results to internal and external stakeholders, including at scientific conferences, to support regulatory submissions, and for medical professionals.Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including medical professionals, researchers, and regulatory specialists, to design and implement clinical development strategies that advance our HSI technology.At Hypervision Surgical, we welcome candidates who have the core skills for the post and are keen to learn and grow with us. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where a diverse mix of talented people come and enjoy working with each other. By working together, we will change the way surgery is performed and improve patient care.About usHypervision Surgical Ltd is a spin-out company formed from King’s College London and was founded by a team of clinicians, medical imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) experts. Using safe light alone, our goal is to equip clinicians with advanced computer-assisted tissue analysis for improved surgical precision and patient safety.We have developed a computational hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system for improved intraoperative surgical guidance. By splitting light into multiple wavelengths far beyond what the naked eye can see, HSI captures diagnostic information about tissue properties to enable objective tissue characterisation—without injecting exogenous contrast agents. our system can monitor vital physiological tissue properties, thereby increasing surgical precision and patient safety while optimising resection.Following successful in-patient clinical studies and development of a commercial medical device, we are excited to now place our patented technology into the hands of surgeons. We operate at the intersection of surgery, machine learning, and interventional image computing for optical systems, and are backed by the Royal Academy of Engineering, Innovate UK, NIHR (National Institute for Health Research), the Creative Destruction Lab, and King’s Health Partners MedTech Innovations to improve surgical care.Join us and help shape our growth toward Series A and beyond.A bit about youMSc or PhD in Medical Imaging, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline.Demonstrated experience in the design and execution of clinical trials, including protocol development, site selection, and monitoring.Strong knowledge of clinical data collection, analysis, and interpretation, including statistical analysis and data management.Excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills, with a track record of effective cross-functional teamwork.Proven ability to synthesize large and diverse datasets into meaningful actionable reports.Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and strong analytical thinking.Excellent oral and written communication skills.Creativity and strong sense of ownership.Show a strong sense of creating an inclusive environment.(Desirable) Knowledge of optics, biomedical device design, machine learning or computer vision algorithms.Our CultureWe welcome candidates with strong core skills who are keen to learn and grow with us. We’re committed to an inclusive environment where a diverse mix of talented people enjoy working together. By collaborating across disciplines, we’ll change the way surgery is performed and improve patient care.Other ParticularsIn-person work at our London offices (London Institute for Healthcare Engineering, near Westminster Bridge, SE1).Periodic travel to partner hospitals within the UK.Occasional travel in Europe and the US.What We OfferThe opportunity to shape a MedTech start-up building next-generation technology for surgical guidance.Access to the King’s MedTech ecosystem, including access to hospitals, a mock operating room, lab spaces, and computational facilities.A highly multidisciplinary team (surgeons, computer scientists, mathematicians, biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, and KOLs for surgical healthcare technology) with world-leading experts in AI for medical imaging, interventional imaging, and medical devices.Close collaboration with a stellar advisory board of serial MedTech entrepreneurs, surgical robotics leaders, and VC investors. You will work closely with thought leaders in healthcare engineering to develop and scale an early-stage MedTech start-up.An environment at the intersection between industry, academia and hospitals that cultivates curiosity, creativity and autonomy to develop innovative technologies for the patient and public benefit.We are committed to growing our employees and offering equal opportunities for advancement.How to ApplyPlease complete the application form here and detail how your knowledge, skills, and abilities meet the job requirements. #J-18808-Ljbffr
