Senior Computer Vision & Machine Learning Engineer

Who We Are illumicell AI is a medical-technology startup building AI-powered, label-free cell analysis to bring fast, objective diagnostics to the point of care. Based at the Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab, Harvard's startup incubator in Allston, we work at the intersection of optics, machine learning, and clinical medicine. Starting with male fertility, we're developing a new standard for how living cells are measured, understood, and acted upon.

We have a functional prototype device, a digital holographic scanner paired with cloud-based AI analysis that is already producing live-cell measurements, and we are rapidly accelerating toward FDA submission. We're backed by Accel and Tim Draper, are Techstars alumni, and are building the team that will carry the product from working prototype to cleared clinical device. About the Role illumicell AI is building a digital holographic microscope for automated semen analysis.

Our instrument captures live-cell video, reconstructs phase imagery in the cloud, and produces clinically relevant measurements (sperm concentration, motility, and eventually morphology) that fertility labs use to make treatment decisions. We are looking for a Senior Computer Vision and Machine Learning Engineer to take technical responsibility for the path from difficult imaging problems to tested, production-quality software. The problems are real and hard: dense fields of small moving cells, overlapping objects, reconstruction artifacts, limited ground truth, and t
