• Debugs problems in machine learning algorithms, training processes, and model deployment, with an emphasis on patient safety and regulatory compliance. 

• Implements solutions to fix bugs, optimize model training, and improve deployment robustness, adhering to medical device standards. 

• Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management: 

• Ensures all machine learning development and deployment efforts comply with relevant regulations (e.g., FDA, MDR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971). 

• Participates in risk assessments, identifying and mitigating potential risks associated with the machine learning model. 

• Supports the creation of submission documents necessary for regulatory approvals. 

• Ethical and Privacy Considerations: 

• Ensures that the development and deployment processes respect patient privacy, complying with data protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. 

• Monitors for biases in the machine learning models to ensure equitable and unbiased patient care. 

How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.
Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

Indicate if this role is an office/field/onsite role.
