Research Intern

About Nox Medical


Simply put, we believe in the power of sleep.


As sleep health champions, we want more and more people to wake up to a brighter day every day. And, we are making daily progress, as we help more organizations see sleep as transformational and a foundational pillar of health. We strive to give more access to the technology and care they need to lead fuller lives.


Our depth of knowledge in the science of sleep gives us a unique perspective on sleep as a critical intervention strategy in chronic disease. We help people see the right problem and the right way forward, elevating not just our solutions but also advancing the field of sleep medicine.


Our vision is to work with our partners — employers, health systems, health plans, government agencies, provider groups and others committed to transforming care — to expand sleep health care to where it is needed, so it can take its rightful place in the healthcare ecosystem.


About the role

Nox Medical, a global leader in sleep diagnostic technology, invites applications from talented and motivated students for an extended internship opportunity within our dedicated Research Team in Reykjavik.

We are seeking exceptional individuals nearing completion of their education in Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields to join us on this challenging and rewarding journey. This isn't just an internship; it's a chance to contribute meaningfully to cutting-edge projects alongside leading scientists and experts in sleep science.


What you'll do

As a Research Intern, you will be an integral part of our newly established Research Team, focusing on high-risk, high-reward innovative projects. You will dive into fast-paced applied industrial research, which may change sleep medicine.

Your work will involve:

  • Developing and evaluating AI/Machine Learning models (including Deep Learning, CNNs, ResNets, optimization, clustering, etc.) for medical and non-medical device prototypes aimed at diagnostics, risk assessment, or treatment selection.
  • Processing and analyzing physiological time-series data (EEG, ECG, breathing signals, etc.) from sleep studies.
  • Implementing custom calculations, statistics, and analyses to support research collaborations.
  • Contributing to the writing of scientific publications, posters, white papers, and other dissemination materials.
  • Supporting the continuous development and capability enhancement of our high-performing research team.

Qualifications

We believe exceptional talent comes in many forms. You might be brimming with confidence, or perhaps you're quieter but possess a deep curiosity and strong analytical skills. If you have a solid foundation and a drive to learn, we want to hear from you.

  • Education: Currently finishing your education in Computer Science, Engineering (e.g., Electrical, Biomedical, Software), Mathematics, Physics, or a closely related field.
  • Core Skills: A solid foundation in at least one of Computer Science (algorithms, data structures), Mathematics (linear algebra, statistics, calculus), or Modeling (simulation, system dynamics). Crucially, you must possess a strong interest and aptitude for developing skills in the areas where you have less experience.
  • Mindset: You are solution-oriented, creative, and highly motivated. You thrive on challenges and are eager to learn new concepts and technologies independently by reading scientific literature, exploring documentation, and seeking knowledge.
  • Teamwork & Communication: You value collaboration and can work effectively within a close-knit team. You understand that open communication is key – this means sharing progress, challenges, and even mistakes early and often in a constructive manner. You view feedback as an opportunity for growth.
  • Tech Aptitude: While expertise isn't expected upon arrival, you must have the ability and drive to quickly learn and utilize our tech stack, primarily: Python with Numpy, Scipy, TensorFlow, and Keras. Familiarity with AWS is a plus.

Why Join Nox Medical's Research Team?

  • Real Impact: Contribute to innovative projects that shape the future of sleep diagnostics and improve lives.
  • Learn from the Best: Work directly alongside and be mentored by internationally recognized scientists and engineers in a supportive environment.
  • Cutting-Edge Technology: Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques and large, complex datasets.
  • Develop Your Skills: This is an unparalleled opportunity to rapidly develop both technical and research skills in a fast-paced, applied setting.
  • Scientific Contribution: Potentially co-author scientific publications and present findings.
  • Supportive Culture: We work hard and fast, but we foster a culture of knowledge sharing, mutual support, and continuous learning. We value potential and curiosity as much as existing expertise.
