Au sujet de l’entreprise: 

Myant Animal Sciences is in the process of realizing a new paradigm in animal health, monitoring, performance, therapy, and rehabilitation management through Skiin, a textile-based solution which uses textiles that can sense biometrics to understand the body, anticipate its needs, and connect animals to their caregivers and preventative care. Our vision is to promote animal health and welfare through accessible and comfortable textile solutions that give animals a voice, enable predictive veterinary care, and provide caregivers with peace of mind and a connection with their animals, even from afar.

Myant Animal Science’s mission is to promote animal welfare by providing caregivers the ability to understand their animals. Through a deeper understanding of how animals respond to their environments, we can shift from a reactive and generalized approach to health and wellness, to a proactive and personalized approach. Through a continuously close connection, caregivers achieve the ultimate peace of mind knowing the animals in their life are healthy and happy.

We are a multi-disciplinary technology team solving big challenges at the intersection of veterinary medicine, electronics, software, and data science.

Veuillez décrire le projet.: 

The goal of Myant Animal Science is to develop wearable solutions for animals to improve animal health and welfare, while enabling their caregivers to have a continuous connection with them.

You will develop, test, and analyze the performance of textile solutions for cardiovascular and health monitoring of domesticated animal species, including horses and dogs. You will be engaged in solving problems that currently do not have well defined solutions and should take ownership of your deliveries, while supporting others in the team in their projects, in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:
• Work alongside textile specialists and engineers to develop and iterate animal wearable devices
• Develop scientific protocols to test and validate devices
• Collect clinical health data for development and validation from a variety of domestic animal species
• Analyze and interpret biometric data, with a focus on animal cardiology data (ECG, HRV, arrhythmias)
• Develop internal reports and scientific manuscripts to communicate research findings

Expertise ou compétences exigées: 

• Previous experience working with domestic animal species, including the collection of various bio-signals
• Strong understanding of animal physiology and complex bio-signals, with a focus on cardiovascular health and/or fitness
• Previous experience developing rigorous scientific protocols for clinical/veterinary studies
• Strong understanding of data analysis and interpretation, specifically with ECG data
• Excellent scientific writing and communication skills
