AI Software Engineer Austco - 3.0 Irving, TX Job Details 17 hours ago Benefits Work from home Qualifications AI models Software engineering Tooling AI platforms (beyond public GPTs) Machine intelligence Mentoring Software documentation Technical writing APIs Developer tools Python Full Job Description About Austco Healthcare Austco Healthcare (
ASX:
AHC) is a globally distributed provider of clinical communication and workflow solutions, serving hospitals, nursing homes, and aged-care facilities across more than 50 countries. Our R D team develops both hardware and software products that improve patient outcomes and the efficiency of clinical teams. As we enter a new phase of growth, we are investing in AI-enabled engineering to accelerate our development capability and product innovation. The Opportunity This is a pivotal role for Austco Healthcare. As our first dedicated AI Software Engineer, you will lead the adoption and integration of AI-powered tools across our R D function. You will work hands-on with our engineering, software development, and verification and validation (V&V) teams to embed practical AI capabilities into their daily workflows, and help establish the foundations for a scalable, AI-enabled engineering culture. This is not a research role. We are looking for someone who can act, build, and lead; someone who bridges the gap between cutting-edge AI tooling and the practical realities of developing regulated medical device software. Key Responsibilities AI Tooling and Integration- Evaluate, implement, and champion AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, and LLM-based code assistants) across the software engineering team.
- Build internal tools and workflows that leverage large language models (LLMs) to accelerate software development, code review, documentation, and testing.
- Identify and pilot AI use cases in V&V processes, including automated test generation, requirements traceability, and defect analysis.
- Identify and pilot AI use cases in QA (regulatory) processes, including automated requirements traceability and workflow improvements. R D AI Leadership
- Act as the primary AI subject matter expert within R D, guiding the team on best practices, emerging tools, and responsible AI adoption.
- Develop and deliver internal training and upskilling programs to lift AI literacy and capability across the broader engineering team.
- Partner with the Head of R D and CTO to define and execute the AI adoption roadmap for the R D function.
- Champion responsible AI practices within R D, including transparency of AI-assisted outputs.
- Contribute to internal guidelines for appropriate AI tool use, ensuring decisions made or supported by AI remain auditable and explainable.
- Stay informed on emerging regulatory guidance around AI in medical devices and feed relevant developments into Austco's quality and compliance processes. Regulated Software Environment
- Ensure AI-assisted processes comply with applicable regulatory standards, including
IEC 62304
(medical device software lifecycle) and relevant quality management requirements.- Work with the quality and regulatory team to document AI tool usage within the software development lifecycle (SDLC) in a manner consistent with regulatory submissions. Collaboration and Innovation
- Collaborate closely with hardware and firmware engineers to identify cross-disciplinary AI applications.
- Stay current with developments in AI and machine learning and proactively assess their relevance to Austco's product and R D strategy.
- Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within the R D team. Skills and Experience Essential
- Demonstrated experience as a software engineer with a strong foundation in Python and at least one additional language (C++, C#, or JavaScript preferred).
- Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) into real software engineering workflows, not just prototypes.
- Practical experience with AI-assisted developer tooling and the ability to evaluate and implement new tools rapidly.
- Track record of coaching or mentoring technical peers; able to translate complex AI concepts into accessible, practical guidance. Able to train small and larger teams in best practices.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document technical approaches clearly for both engineering and regulatory audiences. Highly Desirable
- Familiarity with regulated software development environments, including
IEC 62304, IEC 62443, UL
1069, or equivalent standards.- Experience working in medical devices, healthcare technology, or other safety-critical industries.
- Exposure to automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices.
- Experience developing AI-assisted tools for V&V, requirements management, or software quality assurance.
- Relevant tertiary qualification in software engineering, computer science, or a related discipline. What We Offer
- A genuinely high-impact role at a company investing seriously in AI-enabled engineering.
- The opportunity to shape the AI strategy and culture of an ASX-listed global healthcare technology company.
- A collaborative and supportive R D team with deep domain expertise.
- Competitive remuneration package, including equity participation where appropriate.
- Flexible working arrangements, with the option to work remotely or from one of our Australian offices.
- Ongoing professional development support and access to the latest AI tools and platforms.
