Job summary

Inbrain Neuroelectronics is seeking a Machine Learning Operations Architect to own model lifecycle governance and deployment infra. You will bridge MLOps with medical-device design-control, defining versioning, validation, and change-control protocols for adaptive models.

You will work across clinical, regulatory and software teams to ensure safe updates post-deployment, while enabling real-time healthcare solutions globally.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 4–5 years hands-on ML Ops engineering experience in medtech or safety-critical environments.
• Experience shipping ML into regulated environments (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, DO-178C, ISO 26262).
• Experience with model versioning/registries and CI/CD for ML.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code skills and Python productionization.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement model versioning, lineage, and validation-evidence systems.
• Define PCCP-style framework for adaptive models and automated re-validation.
• Configure CI/CD pipelines for training, validation, and promotion of models across DTAP tiers.
• Build drift and performance monitoring with triggers for retraining and post-market surveillance.
• Maintain versioning and tracing aligned with design-control processes.

Job description

Barcelona

Full-time

Permanent employee

Your mission

We are scientists, doctors, techies and humanity lovers, with the mission of pioneering real time precision neurology to cure brain-related disorders. INBRAIN harnesses the extraordinary material properties of Graphene, the world’s thinnest and nobel-prize winning material, to build high resolution neural systems. Our mission is to decode and modulate neural networks to restore people’s lives.

As a Machine Learning Operations Architect, you will architect and own the model lifecycle governance and deployment infrastructure. The role bridges MLOps engineering with medical-device design-control practice: it defines how models are versioned, validated, and promoted, and builds the change-control framework (aligned with a PCCP-style approach) that governs how adaptive, continuously-learning models can be safely updated post-deployment.

You will be at the forefront of bringing advanced healthcare solutions to market, making a tangible difference in people’s lives worldwide.

Your profile

Main Responsibilities

• Design and build the model versioning, lineage, and validation-evidence system that ties every trained model to its training data, the data source origin, risk management, and clinical evidence.
• Draft and maintain a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP)-style framework defining permitted modification types, bounds, and automated re-validation protocols for adaptive models, in collaboration with clinical, regulatory, product and software stakeholders.
• Design and configure the CI/CD pipeline for training, validating, and promoting models, running on infrastructure provided by the Software team, with promotion gates across Development, Testing, Acceptance and Production (DTAP) tiers.
• Build drift and performance monitoring for models and define triggers for scheduled vs. drift-triggered retraining as part of post-market surveillance activity.
• Deployed and maintained processes and services versioning and tracing them against design-control processes.

Mandatory Qualifications And Soft Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• At least 4-5 years of Hands-on ML Ops engineering experience (preferably in medtech industry): model versioning/registries (MLFlowor equivalent), CI/CD for ML, containerized deployment (Kubernetes), and workflow orchestration (e.g.Argo or equivalent).
• Proven experience shipping ML into a regulated or safety-critical environment (medtech – priority, automotive, aerospace), has designed systems to automatize design-control processes (e.g.IEC 62304, ISO 13485, DO-178C, ISO 26262) and has used them from the inside.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code skills and comfort directly supporting data scientists to productionize research code written in Python.
• Fluency in English required (English is company language).
• Direct experience with continuous/adaptive learning systems under a change-control or PCCP-like framework, delivering personalized evolving models in contrast to single model validation for universal use releases.
• Comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering and regulatory/clinical teams, translating design-control requirements into concrete technical implementation.
• Pragmatic about scope and sequencing – able to prioritize the governance/compliance work.
• Strong written documentation skills, given the role’s heavy emphasis on producing auditable change-control and validation records.

Nice To Have

• Experience with FDA’s Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) guidance or equivalent adaptive-SaMD regulatory frameworks (e.g.through an imaging/diagnostic AI company that has filed one).
• Background in adaptive neurostimulation, closed-loop deep brain stimulation or closed-loop diabetes management with insulin pumps.
• Familiarity with clinical data standards (FHIR, SNOMED CT, NWB/BIDS) and ISO 14155/MDR/ICH E9 evidence frameworks.
