The Senior Data Scientist, Diagnostics Platform supports the Diagnostics Platform by contributing to the strategy, development, and operationalization of large language models (LLMs), agentic AI, and image AI solutions. In this role, you will help build multimodal datasets, develop production-grade models, contribute to RAG pipelines and agent workflows, and integrate insights into products, clinical, regulatory, and post-market evidence programs. The role works cross-functionally with clinical, R&D, regulatory/quality, medical affairs, IT/security, and Operating Companies to deliver measurable patients and business impact.
This position reports to the Director, Data Science and is part of the Diagnostics Platform and will be fully remote.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
• Lead assay development optimization and R&D process acceleration using advanced statistical and ML methods (e.g. Bayesian optimization).
• Conduct RWE analytics of EHR/claims/registries/device telemetry to drive biomarker discovery and development, and support dataset curation across text, tabular, device logs, lab results, and EHR/claims.
• Implement reliable and reproducible AI frameworks that improve diagnostic performance analytics, workflow efficiency, labeling/claims support, HEOR/RWE insights, image processing, and customer experience.
• Contribute to the development of solutions on Azure, Snowflake/Databricks, vector databases, and enterprise content platforms (SharePoint, Confluence).
• Translate analyses into clear, concise narratives, dashboards, and cross‑functional updates, and collaborate with clinical, regulatory, R&D, IT, and academic partners as needed.
The essential requirements of the job include:
• Master’s or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related fields.
• 3+ years of combined industry and/or postdoctoral research experience in MedTech, diagnostics, biopharma, or applied AI domains.
• Hands-on proficiency in Python/R and modern ML frameworks; familiarity with DoE (design of experiments), Bayesian optimization, causal, survival, and longitudinal methods.
• Experience working with RWE/RWD datasets (EHR, claims, registries, device logs).
Travel, Motor Vehicle Record & Physical/Environment Requirements:
• Ability to travel – 10%
It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:
• Background in oncology, infectious diseases, acute care, or neurodegenerative disorders.
• Experience with imaging data (WSI/IHC and/or CT/PET/MRI) and LLM-based systems (Agents, RAG, finetuning, prompt engineering)
• Experience with Azure OpenAI, Snowflake, coding agents (e.g Claude Code, VS Code, Codex), Llama/Mistral, MLflow, Delta Lake, Hugging Face, and largescale model deployment.
