Hybrid — work setting source
We are a rapidly growing, Boston-based medical technology company using AI to enable clinicians to make informed decisions on cardiovascular care - leading to better patient outcomes, improved quality of care, and reduced healthcare costs. Come work at Elucid and be part of delivering on our mission to prevent heart attacks and strokes! This role is hybrid and based out of our Boston office, open to local PhD candidates. As a leader in cardiac CT imaging, we’re exploring how large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) can improve patient outcomes, make life easier for clinicians and analysts, and even power entirely new products. We’re looking for a motivated PhD-level intern to help us find out. You’ll design, build, and evaluate LLM/VLM agents and workflows, and create proofs-of-concept for real applications of these foundation models. Your work may have the opportunity to join our existing product suite or brand-new standalone product, or lead to publication with our team. If you’re excited to bring foundation model research into clinical care, this is a great opportunity to work at the intersection of innovation and commercial application.

About the role

We file this job under AI Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

AI engineers build products on top of AI models that already exist, most often large language models: they connect a model to a company's data and tools and ship the assistants, agents and search features people use.

Postings ask for strong Python or TypeScript, experience with model APIs, retrieval and agent frameworks, and ways to test whether the model's answers are good enough.

An ML engineer trains and serves models; an AI engineer usually starts from a model someone else trained and builds the product around it, though titles often mix the two.
