Application Engineer at DRVision Technologies

DRVision LLC seeks a member to join a high-performance team developing next generation microscopy image recognition software. This is a three month trial position with potential for permanent employment.

DRVision’s image based decision and machine learning technologies form the basis for its microscopy image recognition and data analysis software product, SVCell™, which can be used for broad microscopy applications in basic research, drug discovery and disease diagnosis. Launched in October 2006, SVCell changes the way image recognition is done – its teachable interfaces and learning technologies enable users to develop and execute analyses of unsurpassed quality, without requiring a specialist with image processing or pattern recognition expertise. Simple to learn and operate, SVCell provides everything needed to accurately and reliably detect, track, measure, discover, classify, monitor and score cellular and subcellular phenotypes and events in microscopy movies. SVCell's development is partially funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) under the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. SVCell is currently sold by Nikon under the CQ Bio Analysis trade name.
