To sum up :Contract: Permanent (CDI)Start date: May /July 2025Location: Suresnes 92150Salary: 50k per yearThe company:Hepta Medical is a French medical device company developing an minimally-invasive treatment for lung cancer. Their device is a flexible microwave ablation probe which can be introduced in the patients lung through the airway to locally ablate and destroy the tumor. During the procedure, their system is capable of locally measuring the temperature to monitor the size of the ablation zone, resulting in safer and more efficient treatments.After successfully raising its SERIES A, the company is expanding its team to initiate its clinical operations. Your missions:Their ablation probe embarks a temperature sensor leveraging the principle of microwave radiometry to make remote tissue temperature measurements directly from the probe. The data collected by the sensor is combined with procedural CT images to display in real-time the growth of the ablation through a proprietary predictive software.Your role will be to develop in-house expertise about several scientific problems:Microwave radiometry in collaboration with the inventor of the technology;Clinical thermal ablation procedures using microwave energy;Digital twin modelling based on patients CT scans;Multi-physics simulation to model our device in-vivo based on patients anatomy.Your missions will include :Develop in-silico, ex-vivo and in-vivo experimental protocols;Analyze the data generated;Write scientific papers in collaboration with top academic centers;Contribute to cross-projects into the company.
