This is an exciting opportunitty to join a growing team that will enable the re-imaging of how work gets done across our R&D engineering functions. You will own data curation, indexing quality and pipeline reliability, ensuring that engineering knowledge - requirements, design history, test data, quality records and more - is current, trusted and AI-accessible. You will work closely with the AI Solutions Architect and AI Solutions Delivery roles to ensure engineering data sources are structured and governed in a way that supports retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation and agentic workflows across AIS R&D, while meeting the data quality, lineage and compliance standards required in a regulated product development environment. Work model, sponsorship, relocation: At Boston Scientific, we value collaboration and synergy. This role follows an onsite work model requiring employees to be in our local office at least three days per week. Boston Scientific will not offer sponsorship or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position at this time. Relocation assistance is not available for this position at this time. Your responsibilities will include: * Design and build data pipelines that ingest, curate and index engineering data sources to support AI-enabled workflows. * Own data curation, indexing quality and pipeline reliability across all in-scope engineering data sources. * Ensure engineering knowledge - requirements, design history files, test data, quality records and related artifacts - is current, trusted and AI-accessible. * Define and enforce data quality checks, schemas and governance practices for operational AI systems. * Partner with the AI Solutions Architect on the context layer, versioned prompt/agent specification library and retrieval architecture. * Partner with the AI Solutions Delivery role and Enterprise AI/IT on integration patterns across engineering systems (e.g., Windchill, Jira, GitLab, AWS). * Scale pipeline reliability and indexing coverage as additional workflows move from pilot to production. * Support evaluation-harness data needs, including test data preparation and data-quality regression checks. * Contribute to a culture of ownership, experimentation and data-driven decision-making. ## Related Videos - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Optimizing Discovery: PostgreSQL's Role in Transforming GetYourGuide's Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1647-optimizing-discovery-postgresql-s-role-in-transforming-getyourguide-s-search) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
