Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Scientist in AI/ML Domain to join our Healthcare Technology & Innovation Center, focused on building early-stage (low TRL) AI-driven solutions. This role is ideal for candidates who thrive at the intersection of applied machine learning, physics-informed modeling, and generative AI, and who are passionate about translating cutting-edge research into impactful innovations related to healthcare products, software and services.

You will play a key role in conceptualizing, prototyping, and validating novel AI technologies, working closely with cross-functional teams and business stakeholders to shape the future of healthcare solutions, both for our customers and for internal users.

Roles and Responsibilities

As a Senior Scientist, you will be part of a data science or cross-disciplinary team on early development projects, typically involving large, complex data sets. These teams typically include statisticians, computer scientists, software developers, engineers, product managers, and end users, working in concert with partners in GE HC business units. Potential application areas include remote monitoring and diagnostics across infrastructure and industrial sectors, and operations optimization.

Key Responsibilities

AI/ML Innovation and Development

• Lead the design and development of novel AI/ML solutions for early-stage healthcare applications, including clinical decision support, equipment services productivity, and engineering workflow automation.
• Build and evaluate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and LLM-based agentic systems with emphasis on interpretability, traceability, and reliability.
• Develop advanced prompt engineering frameworks, including multi-agent workflows (e.g., Plan-and-Execute, ReAct) to enable complex reasoning tasks.

Algorithm Design & Modelling

• Design and implement machine learning algorithms for structured and unstructured data, including:
  • Time-series modelling
  • Unsupervised and semi-supervised learning
  • Anomaly detection and predictive analytics
• Integrate physics-informed or domain-aware models with data-driven approaches where applicable.

Prototyping & Deployment

• Build end-to-end prototypes using modern software stacks (Python, Flask, microservices architecture).
• Deploy scalable solutions using containerization tools (Docker) and cloud-native environments.
• Develop modular, reusable ML pipelines for rapid experimentation in low-TRL environments.

Technical Leadership:

• Provide technical leadership on projects, guiding architecture, design decisions, and development strategy.
• Mentor junior scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and rigor.
• Collaborate with clinical, product, and engineering stakeholders to translate business needs into AI solutions.

Evaluation & Validation:

• Define evaluation frameworks to measure model accuracy, robustness, interpretability, and real-world applicability.
• Conduct pilot studies and validation exercises with domain experts.
• Establish best practices for responsible AI, explainability, and regulatory awareness.

Education Qualification:

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, AI/ML, Engineering, or related fields (e.g., Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Applied Math).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in healthcare AI or regulated industries (or strong interest in transitioning).
• ~10–15 years of experience in applied AI/ML, ideally in industrial or research environments.
• Strong programming skills in Python (experience with R/Matlab is a plus).
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Machine Learning / Deep Learning frameworks
  • Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Retrieval methods and RAG systems
  • Time-series analysis and anomaly detection
• Experience with building and deploying ML systems (Flask, APIs, Docker, microservices).
• Demonstrated experience in leading technical projects or initiatives.
• Background in physics-based modelling, simulations, or engineering systems.
• Experience developing interpretable AI systems with explainability and traceability.
• Prior work on unsupervised learning, predictive maintenance, or sensor data analytics.
• Exposure to multi-agent systems and advanced prompt engineering techniques.

Key Attributes

• Strong problem-solving and research mindset suited for ambiguous, early-stage problems.
• Ability to translate complex technical ideas into impactful solutions.
• Excellent collaboration and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Passion for innovation, experimentation, and real-world impact.
