Role Overview
You’ll fine-tine, research, and train AI models specific to lifescience and diagnostics. You’ll work on R&D projects that will have meaningful impact on how our customers capture data from instruments. You’ll automate data pipelines for lab results using AI and orchestration. Ultimately, this will feed into a memory layer that suggests scientists what transformations to use based on their assay type and instruments.
The project will directly feed into a meaningful AI full stack app for all diagnostic instruments on this planet. It will help scientists to get to sample results 70% faster and reduce 50% error rate in the process.
