Project Intern - Surgical Navigation

Role Overview: We are seeking a motivated and technically skilled Project Intern to support our development efforts in camera integration, medical image registration, and navigated tool design for advanced surgical navigation systems. This role involves hands-on development, testing, and documentation of real-time navigation algorithms and hardware-software integration for applications in Spine, Cranial and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Key Responsibilities: Work on C++ and Python codebases to support integration of stereo cameras for intraoperative navigation. Implement and evaluate medical image registration algorithms. Assist in designing rigid body geometries for navigated surgical tools specific to Spine, Cranial and TKA procedures. Participate in clinical testing and evaluation of image registration and tracking workflows. Prepare comprehensive technical documentation: Requirements Specifications,Testing Protocols & Release Notes Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and clinical engineering to translate clinical needs into product features. Qualifications: Education: Final-year student or recent graduate of B.E./B.Tech./M.E./M.Tech. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline. Technical Skills: Programming: Proficient in C++ and Python Mathematics: Strong foundation in Fundamentals of Linear Algebra, Probability, and Statistics Understanding of medical imaging, coordinate systems, and 2D & 3D Geometry & Transformations. Familiarity with libraries/tools such as OpenCV, VTK, ITK, or similar frameworks is a plus Soft Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Good communication and technical writing skills Ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team environment Learning Opportunities: Exposure to real-world surgical navigation systems and clinical environments. Hands-on experience in camera integration, and navigated tool design. Mentorship from an interdisciplinary team of engineer and researchers. Understanding the pipeline of clinical validation, regulatory requirements, and medtech product lifecycle. Location: On-site at IIT Madras Duration: 6 months Note: Candidates demonstrating strong performance during the internship will be considered for full-time employment opportunities.
