Head of Research

Your Mission as QE's Head of Research:

• Spearhead cutting-edge research that will form the backbone of a new category of telehealth: at-home eyecare.
• Drive an applied research agenda and work alongside the engineering team to translate research results into functional patient-facing products.
• Use first principle thinking to break complex hardware problems into simple and practical software solutions.
• Find, lead, and grow a cross-disciplinary team of PhD-level researchers (computer vision/machine learning, optical engineering, statistics, etc.)
• Actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing findings from internal projects and external collaborations.
• Provide high-level input re: clinical trial design and implementation.
• Assist in drafting patent applications.

tl;dr: We're looking for a formidable Head of Research to help us map out a novel at-home eye exam.

We're looking for someone with:

• A PhD in Computer Vision/Machine Learning OR equivalent industry research experience.
• Ability to formulate and own an applied research agenda — focused broadly on the application of deep learning and computer vision to eyecare — that will translate into novel products.
• Ability to define, implement, and time box MVP-style experiments in startup-paced cycles.
• 1+ year experience managing researchers, particularly giving directed feedback on how to optimize models.
• Willingness to help the team with various tasks, even if they are not directly research-related.
• Strong respect for patient privacy and human dignity.
• Eligibility to work in the U.S.
• Flexibility to regularly travel to the Bay Area.
