Lead Engineer, Healthcare Data Operations and Strategy

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.
• Establish data quality, provenance, de-identification, and governance standards that scale across modalities and meet the regulatory and compliance expectations of global clinical partners.

What We Need To See

• 12+ years working with healthcare data — building datasets, running data programs, or leading MLOps workflows in a healthcare or medtech setting.
• Strong technical proficiency across the healthcare data lifecycle: ingestion, curation, annotation, de-identification, governance (HIPAA, GDPR, IRB workflows), and serving for training and evaluation.
• Hands-on experience with MLOps tooling — data lakes/lakehouses, dataset versioning (e.g., Hugging Face Datasets, LakeFS, DVC), workflow orchestration, validation frameworks — and a clear point of view on when to build versus integrate.
• Familiarity operating at the intersection of strategy, partnerships, and engineering — able to set portfolio direction one day and review schema choices or pipeline architectures the next.
• BS or higher in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Biology, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

Qualifications

• BS or higher in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Biology, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• Direct healthcare industry experience — including familiarity with how device data is generated, retained, and released.
• Track record of launching publicly released, commercially usable healthcare datasets.
• Experience standing up data infrastructure for foundation model training, including multi-modal sensor data.
• Deep relationships across the global clinical AI community (MedTech or biopharma), and a history of converting those relationships into shipped artifacts.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA platforms relevant to healthcare AI — Holoscan, BioNeMo, Cosmos, Isaac, NeMo Data Designer, or Omniverse.
