About this role
As part of your master’s thesis, you will develop a functional prototype of a simulator for neurophysiological signals for use in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). Your responsibilities will include, in particular:
Conducting a comprehensive literature review on the neurophysiological fundamentals and signal characteristics (EMG, evoked potentials)Analyzing relevant influencing factors such as anesthesia, muscle relaxants, and technical interferenceDeveloping a technical concept for generating realistic bioelectrical signalsSelecting and designing suitable hardware components (e.g., signal sources, microcontrollers, filters, amplifiers)Design and construction of a test system, including hardware and softwareDevelopment of a configurable user interface for controlling signal parameters (amplitude, frequency, latency, interference variables)Simulation of clinically relevant influencing factors such as electrical interference signals or pharmacological effectsValidation of the developed solution with existing neuromonitoring systemsDocumentation, analysis, and evaluation of the resultsDerivation of a concept for further development into a near-production product Master’s degree in electrical engineering, medical engineering, biomedical engineering, physics, or a related fieldInterest in biosignal processing, electronics, and physiological processesBasic knowledge of embedded systems and/or signal processing is a plusAbility to work in a structured and independent mannerAnalytical thinking skills and an interest in research and development Working environment: A mutually-supportive, international teamPractical experience: Opportunity to build career experience in an exciting international company with a lasting impact on medical technology based in Waldkirch (top 100 innovator and employer of the future 2022)Working conditions: Flexible working hoursFitness: Internal company fitness programPersonal development: Training and career opportunities offered by Brainlab SEReady to apply?
