Zusammenfassung

Cognizance Technologies LLC in Silver Spring, MD is seeking a Researcher I - AI Researcher to advance AI/ML workflows for regulatory and biomedical data analysis. The role focuses on integrating AI methods, validating models, and deploying audit-conscious pipelines in high-stakes settings.

Requirements include a Ph.D./Masters/Bachelor’s in a quantitative field and experience with LLMs, RAG, and agentic AI systems.

Qualifikationen

• Experience designing and implementing LLM and agentic AI systems, including RAG, tool/functions calling, multi-agent orchestration, prompt and workflow design, evidence-grounded response validation, hallucination mitigation, fallback routing, and failure analysis.
• Experience developing trustworthy, audit-focused AI workflows with audit logging, traceable workflow design, execution monitoring, source-linked evidence artifacts, run metadata, model risk documentation, and reproducible technical documentation.
• Knowledge of model evaluation and validation practices, including data quality checks, robustness testing, drift or failure monitoring, human review controls, and documentation of assumptions, dependencies, limitations, and risk mitigations.
• Ability to translate reviewer and scientific user needs into practical AI-assisted workflows and user-facing prototypes while maintaining appropriate controls for non-public information and high-stakes regulatory use.

Aufgaben

• Design, develop, test, and document AI solutions to support drug submission review workflows, including document triage, evidence extraction, literature and submission information retrieval, question answering, summarization, and generation of traceable review artifacts.
• Develop and integrate human-in-the-loop review features for AI solutions, including reviewer feedback capture, source verification, confidence or risk flagging, issue escalation, editable outputs, audit trails, and mechanisms for scientific review and approval before downstream use.
• Build pipelines to ingest, parse, structure, and analyze regulatory, scientific, and clinical documents and data sources, including PDFs, tables, figures, metadata, and structured or unstructured text, while preserving traceability to source evidence.
• Establish evaluation and validation protocols to assess AI output accuracy, reproducibility, robustness, source attribution, hallucination risk, tool-use reliability, and operational limitations; identify unexpected results and provide mitigation strategies.
• Implement logging, monitoring, and quality assurance controls for AI workflows, including tool/function call validation, data quality checks, execution monitoring, failure reporting, token or resource usage tracking, and reproducible artifact generation.
• Prepare technical documentation, workflow descriptions, risk and limitation summaries, user guidance, progress reports, and other deliverables needed to support transparent development, human oversight, and future maintenance of AI-enabled review tools.
