Research Scientist - Physiological Modeling & Algorithms

Presage Technologies develops software that uses everyday cameras and consumer devices to measure human physiology. The Research Scientist develops and validates physiological sensing algorithms by formulating research questions, designing experiments, analyzing signals, and translating validated methods into practical capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• Own research problems from question to validated algorithm. Turn ambiguous observations and product goals into hypotheses, quantitative predictions, experiments, and working implementations
• Design and conduct informative experiments. Work closely with our research and data teams to choose measurements, controls, reference instruments, and protocols that distinguish competing explanations
• Develop novel sensing and inference methods. Create algorithms, physiological features, and models that extract useful information from video, optical signals, and synchronized physiological measurements
• Investigate unexpected results across the measurement process. Distinguish physiological effects from sensor behavior, acquisition settings, motion, signal processing, and experimental confounds
• Evaluate accuracy, robustness, and generalization. Use meaningful baselines, appropriate statistical methods, and independent evaluation across subjects and relevant operating conditions
• Translate research into practical capabilities. Build reproducible prototypes and collaborate with software engineers to turn validated methods into reliable implementations
• Communicate findings and guide research decisions. Explain the evidence, limitations, and recommended next steps clearly, and contribute to publications and patent filings where appropriate
