Scientist Hospital Patient Monitoring

Philips Hospital Patient Monitoring (HPM) develops solutions that help caregivers monitor patients reliably and continuously enabling timely clinical decisions and safer care. At HPM Research we conduct applied scientific research on smart monitoring and measurement solutions driven by deep customer insights and unmet clinical needs. We do this in close collaboration with clinical stakeholders.

Your role:
You will be part of the HPM Research team working on innovative this role you will create and validate novel algorithms for next-generation smart monitoring and measurements turning physiological data into reliable metrics and algorithms that can be translated into meaningful monitoring features.

You will

• Analyze physiological time-series signals (filtering artifact detection signal quality and feature extraction).

• Develop implement and test novel algorithms (from prototype to reusable code).

• Set up data-collection studies and curate datasets for analysis.

• Define datasets and experiments: inclusion/exclusion criteria labels/ground truth and basic data preprocessing steps.

• Validate algorithm performance with agreed metrics (e.g. sensitivity/specificity false alarm rate) and analyze failure modes and edge cases.

• Document methods and results (short reports/slides) and clearly state conclusions assumptions and limitations.

• Collaborate with scientists engineers and clinical stakeholders to translate findings into algorithms.

Youre the right fit if:

• You have a Master or PhD in Biomedical Engineering Electrical Engineering Applied Physics Computer Science or equivalent experience with a biomedical/biophysical focus.

• You have strong experience in (time-series) physiological signal processing and analysis.

• You are comfortable with data analysis algorithm development (bio)statistics and applied machine learning.

• You have strong coding skills in Python or MATLAB; Python is preferred.

• You have an interest in human physiology and how physiological systems translate into measurable signals.

• You can translate questions into a clear analysis plan and validate your results (assumptions limitations reproducibility).

• You communicate clearlywriting concise summaries and presenting findings to engineers clinicians or product stakeholders.

• You enjoy collaborating in a multidisciplinary team and asking for feedback early.

• You think end-to-end: from clinical need to research question to data collection preprocessing and analysis.

• You are willing to travel internationally on occasion.

Signals of fit

• You learn fast are curious and proactively build new skills.

• You think critically and translate results into clear conclusions including risks and limitations.

• You value scientific rigor reproducibility and transparent reporting.

• You provide decision-ready recommendationsnot just plots and metrics.

• You take ownership of small work packages and ask for feedback early to iterate quickly.

Signals of mismatch

• You prefer working only with fully curated datasets and are not interested in sensing data collection or validation strategy.

• You are uncomfortable with scientific discussion peer review or challenging assumptions.

• You are looking primarily for a project management role rather than hands-on scientific/technical work.
