Principal/Senior ML scientist

Liom is a Swiss health-tech startup dedicated to revolutionizing the field of personalized health monitoring. Our objective is to develop the first health wearable monitoring glucose non-invasively. We will launch our wearable as a consumer product in 2028, and then as a medically cleared product in the US. Our team consists of over 30 staff members, including more than 20 PhDs, with deep expertise in entrepreneurship, product development, and the required engineering as well as scientific disciplines. We are operating out of our lab facilities in Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland.

What could you build on top of real-time and non-invasive glucose monitoring? That is what Liom is all about, and we want to beat Apple at it.

Machine learning, personalized health, predictive, and preventative medicine. If these areas resonate with you, join us to work on foundational technological and scientific challenges at Liom. We are a Swiss HealthTech venture with the vision to use state-of-the-art rich and miniaturized measurement techniques to continuously monitor and learn from a wide range of vital indicators, to prevent chronic diseases, to customize health lifestyles and, to generally improve your health.

Using our revolutionary, miniaturized, and tested proprietary optical sensors, Liom is building a cutting-edge biomedical data generation pipeline to train medical-grade machine learning algorithms to infer glucose non-invasively and transcutaneously from spectral measurements. To achieve our vision, our team and advisory board consist of world experts coming from top academic institutions (ETH, EPFL, Columbia, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and Harvard among others) and industry leaders (Baxter, Roche, Lonza). We are looking for team-oriented, talented, experienced, fearlessly curious, and self-driven professionals to join an A-team of doers: Liom Publishes Groundbreaking Calibration-Free Non-Invasive Glucose Monitoring Results in JDST
