Job Description

Working with local teams and infrastructure owners, you will turn requirements into tested solutions and help teams adopt and operate common tools.

In this role you will:

• Work with AI technical leaders to translate cross-team requirements, reference architectures, and priorities into working solutions and operational procedures.
• Design and run reproducible experiments, proofs of concept, and benchmarks on third-party and internal data management and AI development platforms using representative ultrasound team workflows.
• Assess functional fit, interoperability, performance, scalability, usability, integration effort, and operating cost against agreed requirements. Document methods, results, limitations, and recommendations to inform platform selection.
• Collaborate with individual teams to extend internally developed tools for use across the ultrasound organization. Refactor team-specific assumptions into configurable modules and standardize interfaces to increase reuse.
• Develop and maintain shared libraries, services, and connectors, with automated tests, versioned packages, and deployment workflows that make adoption and maintenance easier for other teams.
• Build and operate data ingestion, transformation, and validation pipelines supporting data curation, annotation, dataset preparation, and AI development.
• Carry out day-to-day operation of agreed shared tools and environments, including configuration, updates, job monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance tuning, in coordination with platform owners.
• Support teams with platform onboarding, tool integration, and data or workflow migrations, and provide practical feedback on gaps in shared infrastructure.
• Implement data quality checks, logging, and traceability, and automate approved data access, de-identification, and retention workflows with guidance from the responsible specialists.
• Investigate pipeline and platform failures, reproduce issues, and work with internal platform teams or external vendors to resolve root causes and prevent recurrence.
• Create user guides, integration examples, and operational runbooks; provide training and technical support so teams can adopt, operate, and contribute to shared tools.
