Role & Background:
For our client in the pharmaceutical sector we are looking for a Digital Biomarker Biomedical Engineer to become part of the Pharma Research and Early Development Informatics team. This team is the bridge between digital technology and science. They help drive medical innovation and are integral to the realisation of truly Personalised Healthcare and the development of innovative treatments for our patients. Digital tools, such as smartphones or wearables, can now continually measure and collect vital health information - or "Digital Biomarkers". Digital Biomarkers are changing how future medicines will be developed and could lead to more personalized use of new medications that will transform the lives of patients. Advances in wearable devices, such as phones, watches, textiles or delivery devices, which track a patient's vital signs and monitor for symptoms, all have the potential to vastly accelerate clinical development.
Your main tasks & responsibilities:
- Work on large amounts of sensor data from smartphones, wearables and other devices (e.g. IMU, touch screen, bluetooth, PPG) collected during the daily life of participants in clinical studies
- Develop robust algorithms to infer a variety of disease symptoms in neurological diseases
- Establish reliability, accuracy and validity of your novel algorithms
- Use the data produced by your algorithms to help deepen the understanding of how impairments induced by neurological diseases impact the daily life of a patient
- Work with our software developers to turn your algorithms into fully documented and validated high-quality code
- Drive the understanding of the data analysis results by clinical development programs through the development of compelling narratives and presentation
- Contribute to manuscripts for peer-reviewed journal articles to establish the biological, clinical and patient relevance of data collected in novel digital biomarker approaches
- Contribute to the improvement and automation of the data processing and analysis pipeline across programs

You have the following skills and experiences:
- Very good university degree in biomedical engineering or alternatively mathematics, statistics, natural science or informatics
- 5+ year of experience with signal processing (e.g. movement data such as accelerometer, gyroscope, PPG data for heart rate, ECG/EEG ) on data collected (preferably in neurological diseases)
- Strong experience with analyzing and visualizing large data sets
- Track record of writing compelling publications in high impact, peer reviewed journals
- Profound knowledge in Python, R or similar software packages/languages
- Excellent analytical, communication and writing skills
- Self-starting team player with strong and collaborative "can-do" attitude
- Highly efficient user of MS Office, excellent PowerPoint slide writer
- Excellent in English; excellent writing skills

Nice to haves:
- Experience with software development processes and big data infrastructures
- Experience with deep learning and other machine learning techniques
- Previous hands-on clinical experience with Multiple Sclerosis. Experience in Parkinson's Disease, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Schizophrenia; neuromuscular atrophies/dystrophies is also interesting
- Experience in experimental/clinical study design
