Forward Deployed Engineer (AI Solutions) - Atrix

At Atrix, our journey began with a simple belief: Breakthrough medicines and technologies change lives, and the people making them deserve better tools. We often celebrate the final moment: a patient receiving a life‑saving therapy or a groundbreaking treatment becoming standard of care. But behind that moment is a complex, coordinated effort that begins years earlier. Pharmaceutical and medical device companies shoulder this responsibility every day. Advancing science from lab to clinic Navigating regulatory and access barriers Ensuring safe, evidence‑based adoption in the real world They’re not just bringing products to market; they’re shaping the future of care. Yet these organizations are often held back by outdated workflows and siloed data, unable to fully harness the knowledge that already exists across their teams. Atrix was built to change that. We exist to support the mission of those who dedicate their lives to creating and delivering innovations that impact global health.
