About the Role

The USC Urology AI Center builds and deploys practical, reliable AI systems to support clinical operations and research within the Department of Urology. The Center focuses on applied AI engineering, including agentic, tool-using LLM workflows built on established technologies and integrated into real-world departmental processes. This role supports the design, development, testing, and deployment of agentic AI workflows within a healthcare environment, collaborating with a cross-disciplinary team to translate clinical and operational needs into practical, AI-driven solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Build AI workflows that execute multi-step tasks through APIs and internal databases.
  • Integrate and normalize multiple data modalities to support workflow execution.
  • Implement RAG and grounding controls to support traceability and reduce unsupported outputs.
  • Design, troubleshoot and refine Agentic AI workflows and AI Agents to augment current healthcare applications.
  • Collaborate with clinicians, researchers, and operational stakeholders to translate needs into safe, testable, and measurable deliverables.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong Python, SQL programming skills, GitHub, and experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc).
  • Full stack software development, experience with JavaScript, Node.js, QT, or similar.
  • Demonstrated experience building and deploying LLM applications beyond prototypes, including tool/function calling, workflow orchestration, structured outputs, and validation.
  • Experience implementing grounding/retrieval and reliability evaluation (test cases, regression checks, monitoring) and familiarity with security and privacy best practices for sensitive data.
  • Experience using statistical computer languages (e.g., R, Python, SQL) to manipulate data and draw insights from large data sets.
  • Experience working with and creating data models and data architecture, and using data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, ArcGIS, D3.js).
  • Knowledge of current data modeling tools and various machine-learning techniques and algorithms (e.g., clustering, decision-tree learning, artificial neural networks).
  • Experience scripting and programming in several languages with common data science toolkits.
  • Proficient use of query languages (e.g., SQL, MDX) and experience working with relational (e.g., MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, Redshift) and non-relational (e.g., Mongo, NoSQL) databases.
  • Knowledge of applied, statistical concepts and techniques skills (e.g., distributions, statistical testing, regression).
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Ability to provide both detailed information and summaries to management-level individuals and groups.
  • Experience developing customer relationships and delivering customer-focused service.
  • Proven problem-solving and decision-making skills, and the ability to uncover root cause and evaluate different solution options.
  • Demonstrated interest in data science and artificial intelligence, and experience in open domain (e.g. GitHub).
  • Familiarity with unit testing, source control and code review.
