Vocera, now part of Stryker, is seeking a highly experienced and visionary Principal Engineer AI/ML to lead the architecture, strategy, and technical direction of our AI-powered speech and voice intelligence platforms.

This role serves as the AI/ML Architect for real-time speech, conversational AI, and GenAI-driven clinical communication systems. You will define long-term technical vision, establish scalable AI architecture patterns, and guide engineering teams in delivering reliable, secure, and high-performance AI systems deployed at enterprise scale on Microsoft Azure.

This is a hands-on architectural leadership role requiring deep expertise in speech technologies, contemporary ML/LLM systems, distributed architecture, and cloud-native AI platforms.

What You Will Do
AI/ML Architecture & Technical Strategy
- Define and own the end-to-end AI/ML architecture for speech, voice intelligence, and GenAI platforms.
- Establish scalable patterns for real-time speech processing (low-latency ASR, TTS, streaming pipelines).
- Architect RAG-based systems, LLM orchestration layers, semantic search,



and conversational AI frameworks.
- Drive design decisions across model hosting, inference optimization, observability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
- Define evaluation frameworks for model quality, accuracy, bias, hallucination control, and safety.

Platform & System Design
- Design enterprise-grade, cloud-native AI systems on Microsoft Azure.
- Lead architectural decisions for:
- Model lifecycle management
- Multi-model orchestration
- Feature stores and vector databases
- High-throughput inference pipelines
- Secure data handling in healthcare environments
- Ensure systems meet performance SLAs (latency, throughput, error rates) and compliance requirements.
- Drive multi-region scalability and disaster recovery strategy for AI workloads.

Speech & Voice Intelligence Leadership
- Architect solutions for:
- Real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech
- Domain-adapted ASR models
