Job Description

About the Role

Join a healthtech company conducting rigorous, independent evaluations of medical imaging AI systems — bridging the gap between benchmark performance and clinical reliability. As a Medical AI Researcher, you'll work directly with medical imaging companies preparing FDA submissions, owning customer engagements end-to-end: from defining evaluation questions to delivering evidence that informs go/no-go decisions. You'll combine practical ML skills with customer-facing judgment to characterize model behavior, generalization, and uncertainty in real-world clinical workflows.

What You'll Do

  • Lead end-to-end customer engagements: run meetings, define evaluation questions, and scope investigations.

  • Design and execute investigations that characterize model behavior, generalization, failure modes, and remaining uncertainty.

  • Analyze medical imaging workflows (DICOM/PACS, radiology pipelines) and translate findings into actionable evaluation evidence.

  • Deliver clear, defensible reports and presentations for regulatory and internal audiences under tight timelines.

  • Collaborate with customers and cross-functional teams to inform go/no-go decisions and drive impact on product strategy.

What We're Looking For

  • Required: Hands-on expertise in medical imaging workflows and integration (DICOM/PACS, radiology pipelines) and integrating ML models into clinical systems.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.

  • Several years of experience in ML evaluation or medical imaging AI.

  • Practical MLOps and model evaluation skills: building reproducible evaluation pipelines, model validation/monitoring, and proficiency in Python and common ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).

  • Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Nice to have: Experience with regulatory considerations for medical AI (FDA submissions such as 510(k) or De Novo).

  • Healthcare industry experience preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: $150,000 – $230,000 USD annually. Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be available to work from the San Francisco office.
