Responsibilities

Engineer end-to-end healthcare AI solutions, including medical imaging algorithms, spanning data acquisition and curation, preprocessing, feature engineering, model development, evaluation, and deployment readiness
Demonstrate strong clinical fluency by interpreting clinical concepts, disease-state context, and workflows, and incorporating clinical informatics, labeling protocols, and ground-truth strategies into algorithm design
Translate clinical questions into measurable machine learning objectives and clinically meaningful endpoints aligned to intended use, patient impact, and regulatory expectations
Design and implement scalable, production-ready system architectures that meet performance, safety, privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements, including SaMD-aligned design controls where applicable
Build reproducible development workflows with versioned datasets, code, experiments, and model artifacts, ensuring traceable lineage from data inputs to model outputs
Lead technical execution with internal and external partners across the product lifecycle, setting engineering strategy, solution architecture, delivery plans, and integration approaches to meet clinical and product goals
Serve as a technical bridge across Health AI, AI Engineering, Data Science, IT, Enterprise Architecture, Product, Quality, Regulatory, Privacy, and Cybersecurity teams
Contribute hands-on in agile delivery by defining epics and stories, estimating work, managing technical dependencies, and driving measurable value delivery while supporting project planning and roadmaps
Develop and optimize imaging and multimodal models, including segmentation, detection, classification, and quantification, using modern deep learning techniques and appropriate augmentation, sampling, and calibration methods
Define and execute robust evaluation plans encompassing internal validation, cross-site generalization, subgroup performance, robustness, calibration, and failure-mode analysis using clinically relevant metrics
Enable strong MLOps practices in partnership with platform teams, including CI/CD, automated testing, reproducible training, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
Deliver scalable inference solutions for imaging and non-imaging use cases, supporting batch and real-time workflows with defined SLAs, observability, and incident response processes
Support validation, quality, and Responsible AI governance through bias and subgroup analysis, robustness testing, calibration, and real-world performance evaluation
Produce engineering documentation and objective evidence aligned to Responsible AI and SaMD governance, supporting design controls, traceability, and audit readiness
Champion privacy-by-design and secure engineering practices, with strong attention to PHI protection, data handling, and clinical safety considerations
Drive continuous improvement and innovation by staying current on healthcare AI and modern machine learning methods and translating advances into governed, scalable product capabilities
Build reusable assets, including model templates, evaluation harnesses, data validation checks, and reference pipelines, to accelerate delivery and improve consistency across programs
