Senior AI/ML Engineer - SaMD System Engineering & Design Quality - CDH - Remote

AI/ML Engineers at Mayo Clinic play a pivotal role in the union of data, systems, and computer sciences. They work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including clinicians, user experience designers, product managers, IT professionals, and external partners, to develop and deploy effective, efficient, and ethical AI/ML solutions into clinical practice to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.

As a Senior AI/ML Engineer, you may work on the full spectrum of the AI life cycle from ideation to production. You understand the clinical environment well, including workflows, challenges, and requirements of healthcare providers and patients. You will leverage advanced techniques in AI/ML to analyze vast amounts of healthcare data, including patient records, medical imaging, and genomic information, to develop AI solutions that meet clinical needs and are integrated smoothly into clinical processes. You will develop, integrate, and standardize software components and create, maintain, and follow quality system procedures. You will guide the engineering of systems that are pivotal to developing and deploying these solutions, which encompass everything from design requirements, development, component creation, verification, non-clinical validation, and risk mitigation to ensure our digital health technology products meet and exceed regulatory requirements and setting new benchmarks for safety and effectiveness in clinical settings.

This role is instrumental in providing consultative services to departments and divisions, offering insights into complex business problems. Your ability to communicate complex findings in easily understandable terms to non-technical users will bridge the gap between sophisticated AI technologies and clinical applications.

This engineering role focuses on digital health technologies and will be responsible for adhering to design control requirements, which involves defining user needs, translating these into design requirements, developing a comprehensive design master and risk management files with appropriate mitigations, and establishing robust test methodologies to ensure safety and efficacy.  In this position, you will function as a senior level systems and design quality engineer to build risk management files according to ISO 14971/24971/34971 and IEC 23894, as well as, creating design control objective evidence according to IEC 62304, TIR 45, IEC 62366, ISO 13485, and ISO 42001.

•   Leading component design, development, integration, and standardization to create AI-driven solutions that seamlessly integrate into clinical practice to enhance patient care and clinic operations.
•   Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, including clinicians, user experience designers, product managers, and IT professionals, to understand user needs, workflows, and clinical requirements and assess feasibility. Translating user feedback and requirements into design concepts and usability specifications for AI solutions.
•   Leveraging machine learning techniques such as deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, large language models, etc., to lead the design, development, and deployment of end-to-end AI solutions for healthcare applications.
•   Establishing evaluation methodologies and performance metrics to assess AI solutions' effectiveness, usability, and impact in real-world healthcare settings.
•   Explaining data analysis results to guide strategic choices and clarify complex insights for non-technical users to connect AI technologies and clinical applications. 
•   Overseeing the engineering of systems crucial for developing and deploying AI solutions.
•   Facilitating consistent and automated AI software solution development and releases through the design, testing, and maintenance of tools and associated CI/CD pipelines.
•   Contributing to implementing the best practices and standards for AI development and deployment methodologies, tools, and platforms.
•   Providing mentorship, guidance, and technical leadership to junior engineers within the AI enablement team. 
•   Providing consultative services on areas of expertise to clinical work units or AI product teams, offering insights and strategies to address complex business problems.
•   Providing training and education to healthcare staff on AI tools and technologies.
•   Contributing to developing new AI methods and technologies that can advance the state-of-the-art in healthcare AI.
