Higher Education Acceleration and Transformation Project (HEAT)

Sub Project Title:
SmartAMR: Advancing Digital Healthcare with AI-driven Intelligence to Strengthen Medical Adherence, Minimize Prescription Errors, and Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance in Bangladesh.

Position Type:
Full-time, Contractual (for the duration of the project)

About the Role:
We are seeking a talented and driven AI Engineer to combat antimicrobial resistance using cutting-edge AI. You will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of our machine learning and NLP techniques, from designing and implementing data pipelines to fine-tuning AI models and deploying them into production systems. This role is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced AI research and real-world healthcare impact, contributing to a system that will improve patient outcomes across Bangladesh.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement scalable data pipelines using Python and SQL to ingest, clean, and transform multi-modal health data.
  • Conduct rigorous Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to uncover patterns, identify data quality issues, and perform feature engineering for model training.
  • Design AI infrastructure that’s production-ready, not just experimental.
  • Train, fine-tune, and optimize LLMs, multimodal, and generative AI models.
  • Develop, train, and validate a diverse range of machine learning models, including classification, DL, and NLP models.
  • Deploy and optimize LLMs and vector databases.
  • Collaborate on the development of hybrid AI systems, integrating decision engines with statistical models to ensure accuracy and clinical interpretability.
  • Integrate AI components into larger production systems, ensuring scalability and performance.
  • Develop and maintain cloud-based analytical dashboards to communicate model performance and project impact to stakeholders.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
  • 1.5–2 years of experience in AI/ML development for healthcare applications (skilled freshers are encouraged to apply).
  • Experience in healthcare data and clinical guidelines for AI-based system designing.
  • Strong proficiency in Python for data processing and model development.
  • Experience in applying and rigorously tuning a range of supervised and unsupervised models, with preference for ensemble methods.
  • Hands-on experience with modern NLP techniques for clinical text analysis, including Named Entity Recognition (NER).
  • Experience in building, training, and debugging neural network architectures such as Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs).
  • Exposure to MLOps practices, model deployment, and monitoring in production environments.
  • Proficiency with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and eagerness to learn advanced AI techniques.
  • Passion for applying technology to solve meaningful, real-world problems.
