If you are eager to use your creativity and results-oriented critical thinking to meet complex challenges and develop new strategies in the development of AI/Data-enabled propositions, then look no further … we would like to powwow with you. We're looking for a highly motivated individual with passion to drive the next generation in technology, including conversational and voice interfaces, recommender systems, NLP, Sentiment analysis, Computer vision, a.o., to build and lead a team of AI and Data Science architects, engineers and specialists.

To build our next generation smarts, you will be working with experts in a variety of fields, including clinical & regulatory specialists, UX designers, dental and skin care professionals, system architects, product management, as well as with heads of other organizations globally and with senior executives to integrate new technologies and refine system performance. You will help build learning systems, leveraging data sets consisting of user interactions and actions, collected from hundreds of thousands of consumer devices, per day to model, analyze, and predict user behaviors. While some of our algorithms run on resource constrained devices, others require large clusters on our cloud infrastructure. The AI/Data Science Leader will be responsible for understanding business entities and their relationships and representation in the Healthcare Platforms, Products, Services, and Tools. He/she will be a thought leader with a penchant for strategy and disciplined execution. This is a critical, highly visible, and strategic leadership role within the Personal Health cluster and within Philips Innovation Campus-Bangalore, that has the potential to drive significant business impact.

As the hands-on AI/Data Science leader, you will be responsible for guiding agile software development teams and managing projects from the conceptual stages through the development cycle. You will ensure that the development processes, architecture and standards are followed. You will also be responsible for the team's code quality, delivery schedule, and financials. The is a leadership role requiring deep understanding of the ML/AI software stack, people management skills and helping with their professional development.
