About the Role
We are looking for an experienced QA Lead – AI Systems to lead the validation and quality assurance of AI-powered products, including LLM/RAG systems, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), and other AI-driven digital solutions.
This is a key leadership role responsible for establishing end-to-end QA frameworks, validation strategies, and compliance processes for AI/ML models across development and deployment pipelines. The ideal candidate will bridge data science, software engineering, and regulatory QA to ensure AI systems meet performance, safety, and compliance standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and drive QA strategy for AI systems across the model, data, and product lifecycle.
- Lead AI model validation efforts, covering LLM/RAG testing, bias analysis, and performance evaluation.
- Define and implement AI Evaluation Metrics (accuracy, fairness, drift, explainability) aligned with business and regulatory expectations.
- Establish frameworks for Explainability Testing (SHAP, LIME, XAI) and ensure interpretability of AI outcomes.
- Collaborate with Data Science and MLOps teams to validate models within cloud environments (Azure ML, AWS Sagemaker, Vertex AI).
- Drive verification and validation (V&V) for AI models and applications under FDA and SaMD compliance frameworks.
- Ensure test traceability, documentation, and audit readiness in line with ISO 13485, IEC 62304, and ISO 14971.
- Develop Python-based automation for AI testing, data validation, and model evaluation pipelines.
- Provide technical leadership to QA teams, ensuring alignment with AI/ML development best practices.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Data, Regulatory, Engineering) to identify risks, gaps, and opportunities for test optimization.
- Present validation findings, risks, and recommendations to senior stakeholders and regulatory reviewers.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.
- 8–12 years of total QA experience, with 2–3 years directly in AI/ML or GenAI QA.
- Proven experience in AI Model Validation, LLM/RAG Testing, and AI Evaluation Metrics.
- Strong knowledge of MLOps concepts and cloud platforms (Azure ML, AWS Sagemaker, Vertex AI).
- Understanding of FDA AI/ML Compliance, SaMD testing, and regulated software QA.
- Hands-on expertise in Python automation and testing AI/ML pipelines.
- Excellent documentation and communication skills with ability to produce traceable validation artifacts
