Senior Imaging AI Architect

Job Title

Job Description

Job title:
The Senior Imaging AI Architect oversees an end-to-end data pipeline infrastructure for primarily medical imaging AI (but also Gen AI solutions and more) from data ingestion and storage through curation feature extraction and model training.
Your role:

• Architect and own the end-to-end data pipelinefor medical imaging AI data (including related patient record data) from intake and storage through curation feature engineering and model training. Ensure the pipeline is scalable secure and optimized for large imaging datasetswhile maintaining compliance with healthcare data regulations. Additionally architect end-to-end data pipelines for other data related to Gen AI solutions as needed.

• Lead the integration of annotation tools and workflowsinto the AI platform. Work with external annotation service providers and internal teams to link annotation software with our data repositories so that images and labels flow seamlessly with full lineage and traceability.

• Develop and implement data cataloging and metadata management infrastructurein partnership with the data manager and stewards. Ensure all data assets and models are version-controlled easily discoverable and traceable throughout their lifecycle to support reproducibility auditability and regulatory compliance.

• Collaborate closely with MLOps engineers and product software teamsto hand off models from R&D into production. Define clear interfaces so that once models are trained and validated in our pipeline they can be containerized and reliably transferred into medical device softwaremeeting quality and safety standardsfor clinical use.
• Work on a cross-functional teamof data scientists data engineers data ops and ML platform engineers and medical informaticians with the software organization (including their architects & principal architect) and global Philips colleagues in a fast-paced healthcare innovation environment.You will mentor others and liaise with regulatory and quality teamsto ensure our AI solutions are safe effective and aligned with medical device industry standards.
• Constantly stay up to date on the latest infrastructure & AI technology that can better support production AI development and other real-world data engineering work; propose and execute on proof of concepts that lead to adoption over time.
• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.
