Job Description: Applied Scientist – NLP / Deep Learning The Impact You’ll Make in this Role As a Data Scientist specializing in deep learning and medical document understanding, you will work at the forefront of healthcare AI, developing next-generation deep learning systems that understand complex clinical text. You will design, implement, optimize, train, and evaluate deep learning models in PyTorch, advancing state-of-the-art approaches in natural language understanding, representation learning, transformer architectures, and generative AI. You will collaborate closely with clinical domain experts, fellow data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams to transition research into scalable production systems. This role requires strong mathematical intuition, hands-on deep learning experience, and the ability to rapidly evaluate, implement, and extend emerging research. As a Data Scientist you will have the opportunity to tap into your curiosity and collaborate with some of the most innovative and diverse people around the world. Here, you will make an impact by: How you will make an impact Scoping, designing, and developing NLP/NLU systems that support clinical understanding of medical documents and downstream healthcare workflows. Designing, implementing, training, and optimizing deep learning models in PyTorch, including transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and modern neural networks for clinical text understanding. Developing neural representation learning approaches for medical text, including dense embeddings, semantic similarity, dense retrieval, and generative AI applications. Translating business and clinical requirements into mathematically sound machine learning formulations, experimental designs, and evaluation strategies. Processing, aligning, and enriching diverse structured and unstructured medical datasets for supervised, self-supervised, and generative learning. Implementing, debugging, and optimizing custom neural architectures, tensor operations, loss functions, training loops, and inference pipelines while ensuring scalable and reproducible experimentation. Understanding and mitigating model weaknesses, including bias, drift, hallucination behavior, robustness, calibration, and generalization. Designing experiments and performing rigorous error analysis to explain model behavior and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Deploying models into Solventum's cloud environment, partnering with ML engineering to ensure reliability, observability, scalability, and compliance within regulated healthcare systems.
