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 an 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 work on 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. Your expertise will also extend to facilitating consistent and automated AI software solution development and releases through the design, testing, and maintenance of tools and associated CI/CD pipelines. 

With the support of senior engineers this engineering role focusing on digital health technologies and software as medical devices is responsible for adhering to design control requirements, which involves defining user needs, translating these into design requirements, developing a comprehensive risk management file with appropriate mitigations, and establishing robust test methodologies to ensure safety and efficacy.
