(Principal) Scientist, Computing & Intelligence, Ihpc

Job Description The Senior AI Research Scientist will be working on clinical multi-agent CDS engineering workstream. The role will design and implement the MAS harness that coordinates GP, pharmacist, specialist, guideline/evidence, medication-safety and workflow agents for primary-care decision support. The system should support pre-consult briefs, iterative re-inference during consultation, safety checks, and structured next-best-action recommendations. The scientist will be responsible for translating clinical workflow requirements into an executable architecture: agent contracts, orchestration logic, memory/state management, tool interfaces, retrieval layers, evaluation harnesses and observability. The role will also lead simulation-based testing and validation using clinical vignettes, synthetic cases, public benchmarks and protected clinical data pathways where approved. Key Responsibilities Design and implement the MAS/CDS harness, including agent roles, orchestration policies, memory/state handling, tool calling, guardrails and error recovery. Build simulation-based evaluation workflows that generate cases, run multi-agent consultations, compare outputs with labels or clinician review, and record failure modes. Engineer validation pipelines for guideline compliance, medication safety, role adherence, hallucination detection, uncertainty handling, and workflow usability. Integrate clinical foundation models, retrieval components, guideline knowledge bases, structured patient data and clinician feedback loops into a coherent CDS prototype. Lead technical design for pre-consult briefs and iterative consultation support, including re-inference when new patient information, lab results or clinician inputs are added. Collaborate with clinicians, product/workflow teams and evaluation teams to define acceptance criteria, benchmark scenarios, safety thresholds and pilot-readiness evidence. Mentor junior researchers/engineers and establish engineering standards for…
