AI and Automation Engineer H/F/X

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

Tissium is a mission-driven medical device company founded in 2013 , headquartered in Paris , with a production facility in Roncq (near Lille) and an office in Boston . We are dedicated to creating a new era of body repair by leveraging our biopolymer platform to develop innovative solutions in surgery for a positive impact on patients' lives .

Tissium’s technology is based on research and intellectual property from the laboratories of Professor Robert Langer (MIT) and Professor Jeffrey M. Karp (Brigham and Women's Hospital) , who co-founded the company with Christophe Bancel (CEO) and Maria Pereira (Deputy CEO & Chief Innovation Officer) .

We are developing polymers for atraumatic tissue repair in various applications. Today, these polymers are used for sutureless nerve repair , hernia repair , and cardiovascular sealing .

Since our inception, we have raised a total of 170 million euros . Our latest fundraising round , which concluded in April 2023 , resulted in 50 million euros in additional funding . This infusion of capital provides us with the necessary resources to finance the commercialization of our first products .

About the Role

We are looking for an AI & Automation Engineer with hands-on experience building AI solutions, automation, or internal tools. You are execution-driven, comfortable working autonomously, and focused on delivering solutions that create immediate value while remaining scalable over time. You thrive in imperfect environments, make pragmatic technical choices, and enjoy seeing your work adopted quickly by real teams.

Responsibilities

• Build automations, integrations, and internal tools that eliminate manual, fragile, and repetitive work.

• Spot high-impact digital opportunities across teams, support business-case creation, and help prioritize initiatives based on effort vs. value.

• Develop connectors and pipelines across data, documents, and systems to improve accessibility, traceability, and reliability.

• Embed AI into R&D and Production workflows to shorten experimentation cycles, improve decision-making, and increase process robustness.

• Deliver simple, usable MVPs (AI-powered tools, workflows, services) adopted daily by R&D, Quality, Regulatory, and Manufacturing.

• Lead GenAI productivity initiatives : automate knowledge workflows, standardize usage, and deploy what you build into real operations.

• Choose the right approach for the problem : GenAI when it adds value, deterministic automation when it’s better, and human-in-the-loop where accountability matters.

• Work hands-on with scientists and operators in a real-world environment with constraints, ambiguity, and operational complexity.

• Contribute over time to advanced modeling efforts , including programmable polymer behavior simulation to predict mechanical performance, degradation, and reliability from chemistry and process parameters.

REPORTING LINE

This job will report to the Associate Director, Growth Initiatives & AI.

YOU WILL LOVE THIS JOB IF

• You thrive in ambiguity, take full ownership end-to-end, make pragmatic trade-offs, and ship.

• You’re highly collaborative and user-focused, working directly with R&D, Quality, Regulatory, and Manufacturing to solve real, high-stakes problems.

• 2–5 years of hands-on engineering experience delivering AI, automation, or internal tools.

• Strong Python (required) with solid software engineering fundamentals - you ship reliable, maintainable code.

• Proven experience building automations, APIs, integrations, and MVPs that real teams use.

• Comfortable working in cloud environments (AWS or GCP); experience deploying services is a plus.

• Practical experience with LLMs / GenAI (integrating models into workflows, not just prompting).

WHY JOIN US

• Thrive in a stimulating environment with a work culture that values urgency, a willingness to take risks, a passion for learning, the ability to challenge the status quo, and the agility to operate in a dynamic setting.

• Grow your career : At TISSIUM, we invest in our people through tailored training and professional development programs. We believe in offering diverse learning methods to help each team member flourish in their career journey.
