AI Application Architect

Job Description

Job title:
As an important member of the R&D team, the AI/LLM Application Architect will develop, integrate, test, and maintain the AI R&D QMS Harness platform used to support controlled AI workflows in medical-device R&D. The role focuses on building production-grade AI services, enterprise integrations, prompt and retrieval pipelines, and governed workflow agents that improve quality-system efficiency without bypassing formal QMS controls.

Your role:

• Develop AI/LLM application services for the controlled AI Harness, including prompt pipelines, RAG services, workflow orchestration, evidence generation, and reviewer-facing outputs.

• Build and maintain read-only integrations to enterprise systems such as DOORS, ALM, ClearQuest, Windchill, SOP/document repositories, and DHF repositories.

• Implement AI agents for requirement-quality checks, traceability gap detection, DHF completeness review, defect/change impact analysis, compliance checks, and draft evidence generation.

• Create and maintain prompt libraries, retrieval pipelines, metadata schemas, source-citation mechanisms, and output templates aligned with approved QMS workflows.

• Implement audit logging, model routing, access control, project isolation, and evidence packaging needed for controlled and traceable AI usage.

• Support OQ/PQ activities by building test harnesses, representative datasets, prompt regression tests, hallucination checks, and workflow validation evidence.

• Partner with SMEs, QA, RA, Software Quality, and Validation teams to refine use cases, acceptance criteria, and reviewer workflows.

• Optimize system performance, reliability, and observability across model calls, document processing, retrieval quality, and application integrations.

• Maintain technical documentation, developer documentation, and configuration records to support controlled deployment and ongoing change management.

• Contribute to pilot rollouts, user feedback loops, and incremental expansion of the AI Harness to new use cases and product teams.

You're the right fit if:

• You have acquired 3+ years of experience in software engineering, AI application development, LLM integration, workflow automation, or enterprise systems integration.

• Your skills include strong programming experience in Python, plus practical experience with APIs, backend services, structured data processing, and AI/LLM application development.

• You have hands-on experience building RAG pipelines, prompt-based applications, evaluation workflows, or agent-style systems for business or engineering use cases.

• You are familiar with vector search, document chunking, metadata filtering, citation generation, and prompt/version management.

• You have experience working with cloud AI platforms, model APIs, or local/private inference environments in enterprise settings.

• You understand good engineering practices for logging, testing, reproducibility, access control, and deployment in controlled environments.

• You can work effectively with domain SMEs and translate business or QMS requirements into usable technical workflows and reviewer-facing outputs.

• You have strong written and verbal communication skills and can document technical solutions clearly for engineering and quality stakeholders.
