Job description
from Nvidia careersAt NVIDIA, we're building the platforms to accelerate the healthcare applications of tomorrow. Software, Hardware, as well as data. We're looking for dedicated contributors who know how to focus on the latter. This is an opportunity to influence the direction of NVIDIA research, engineering, and ultimately the products which our customers build.
This role leads healthcare data operations and guides its strategy. You decide what to build next and collaborate with community partners to build it. You also establish the MLOps backbone that makes each program a durable, growing asset. You connect leading clinicians, academic researchers, medtech industry partners, and NVIDIA's engineering and product teams.
What You'll Be Doing:
Define a portfolio strategy and selection methodology for NVIDIA's healthcare data programs with key collaborators. Prioritize modalities, clinical domains, and partner cohorts based on scientific and market impact, downstream model value, partner readiness, and technical feasibility.
Drive the tactical execution of new healthcare data collaborations end-to-end: prioritizing, data contribution agreements and licensing, contribution standards, release planning, and public launch.
Architect and build our healthcare data MLOps platform that ingests, curates, validates, governs, and serves multi-institution healthcare data at scale. Combine NVIDIA's internal tooling with outstanding external systems when appropriate.
Partner directly with NVIDIA healthcare and model training teams (e.g., GR00T, Cosmos) to ensure data programs are sequenced and crafted to feed the highest-priority needs.
