Key Responsibilities :

Technical Leadership & Model Development :

- Lead the end-to-end design, development, training, and optimization of deep learning models for medical imaging tasks, including segmentation, classification, object detection, and localization.

- Architect and experiment with state-of-the-art CNN and transformer-based models (ViT, Swin, hybrid architectures) tailored for healthcare imaging use cases.

- Drive research initiatives focused on improving model accuracy, robustness, explainability, and clinical relevance.

Data Strategy & Model Robustness :

- Define and guide data ingestion, preprocessing, augmentation, and annotation strategies, working closely with radiology and clinical experts to ensure medical accuracy and compliance.

- Conduct in-depth error analysis, bias detection, and failure mode investigation across datasets, devices, and patient demographics.

- Design and execute domain generalization and cross-site validation strategies to ensure model performance across diverse imaging devices and institutions.

Engineering & Production Integration :

- Bridge the gap between data science and engineering by enabling seamless model integration into production pipelines.

- Optimize models for inference using techniques such as model distillation, pruning, quantization, ONNX conversion, and hardware-aware optimization.

- Package and deploy AI components using Docker-based containerization, ensuring scalability, reproducibility, and maintainability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration :

- Collaborate with radiologists, clinical experts, regulatory teams, and product stakeholders to align AI development with clinical workflows, regulatory requirements, and business goals.

- Contribute to documentation and technical reports supporting regulatory submissions, clinical validation, and audits.

Mentorship & Best Practices :

- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and data scientists.

- Establish and promote best practices in research methodology, coding standards, experiment tracking, and documentation.

- Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to long-term AI platform strategy.

Required Skills :

Core Technical Skills :

- Strong programming expertise in Python with hands-on experience using NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, OpenCV, PIL, and related libraries.

- Solid foundation in machine learning, computer vision, and image processing concepts.

- Extensive hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or Keras.

- Proven experience working with CNNs and transformer-based architectures for medical or high-resolution image analysis.

Model Evaluation & Optimization :

- Strong experience in model evaluation metrics, cross-validation, statistical analysis, and error diagnostics.

- Practical knowledge of inference optimization and deployment-ready model transformations.

Engineering & Deployment :

- Ability to design production-ready AI solutions and integrate them into backend or application workflows.

- Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized AI deployments.

Desired / Good-to-Have Skills :

- Familiarity with healthcare and radiology datasets, including DICOM standards and PACS integration.

- Experience with domain adaptation, robustness techniques, and handling dataset shift in medical imaging.

- Exposure to scalable backend systems or AI platforms supporting high-throughput inference.

- Understanding of clinical validation processes and regulatory considerations in healthcare AI.

Qualifications :

- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field.

- Advanced coursework or research experience in Computer Vision or Deep Learning is a strong plus.
