Job summary

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics is seeking a Machine Learning Operations Architect to own the model lifecycle governance and deployment infrastructure. You will bridge MLOps with medical-device design-control practice, defining how models are versioned, validated, and promoted, and building the change-control framework for adaptive models.

You will design the CI/CD pipeline for training, validating, and promoting models across DTAP, implement drift monitoring, and ensure auditable records while

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 4–5 years of hands-on ML Ops engineering experience in medtech or regulated environments.
• Experience with model versioning/registries (MLFlow or equivalent) and CI/CD for ML.
• Containerized deployment with Kubernetes and workflow orchestration (Argo or equivalent).
• Experience in regulated environments and design-control processes (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, DO-178C, ISO 26262).
• Strong infrastructure-as-code skills and ability to support data scientists producing production-ready code.
• Fluency in English.
• Experience with adaptive learning systems under PCCP-like frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the model versioning, lineage, and validation-evidence system.
• Draft and maintain a PCCP-style framework for adaptive models and re-validation protocols.
• Design and configure the CI/CD pipeline for training, validating, and promoting models.
• Build drift and performance monitoring and define retraining triggers.
• Deployed and maintained processes and services versioning and tracing against design-control.

Job description

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.

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 (MLFlow or 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.
