Job Summary

Your Mission
We are scientistsdoctors 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 worlds thinnest and nobel-prize winning material to build high resolution neural systems.Our mission is to decode and modulate neural networks to restore peoples lives.

The Principal MLOps Architect willdesign and own the end-to-end model lifecycle architectureand governance framework that enables INBRAINs data scientists and ML engineers to takeadaptive neurostimulation and Brain-Computer Interface models from research into regulated clinical products.

The role defines how models are developed versioned validated packaged released monitored and updatedacross cloud smartphone and embedded runtimes. It establishes the MLOps pipelines validation gates traceability and evidence required to ensure that every model release is reproducible controlled and aligned with the intended clinical use. It works closely with the Software team which owns and maintains the underlying model runtime 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.

This is afoundational cross-functional role within the Data Intelligence team. It works closely with Data Scientists ML Engineers and Data Engineers to establish reproducible model development and delivery practices.

The role partners with Clinical Regulatory and Product teams to translate clinical objectives intended use and regulatory requirements into model lifecycle controls. It collaborates with Systems Engineering to ensure models meet system-level requirements and with Software Engineering to define deployment interfaces runtime requirements and release processes across cloud smartphone and embedded environments.
What Youll Do
Main Responsibilities:
  • Design and own themodel lifecycle traceability framework linking every model version to its source code training datasets data provenance preprocessing and feature definitions training configuration evaluation results risk assessments and applicable clinical evidence. Ensure that model artifacts and their supporting evidence are reproducible and retrievable throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Lead the technical implementation of a controlled model-change framework aligned with applicable PCCP requirements and design-control processes. Define permitted modification types operating boundaries acceptance criteria risk-based validation protocols approval requirements and release evidence for adaptive models. Partner with Clinical Regulatory Product and Software teams to ensure that model updates remain within approved safety and performance limits.
  • Own 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.
  • Define and implement the model monitoring and post-deployment surveillance architecture covering model performance data and concept drift input quality operational behavior and relevant safety indicators. Establish thresholds alerting investigation workflows and criteria for scheduled or event-triggered retraining and controlled model updates in collaboration with Clinical Regulatory and Software teams.
  • Establish and maintain traceability between model development activities software and model artifacts verification and validation results risk management records approvals and releases. Ensure that MLOps processes generate the documentation and evidence required to support design reviews change control verification validation and audits.
  • Define the model packaging and deployment standards for cloud smartphone and embedded runtimes including model format compatibility resource constraints quantization or optimization requirements runtime dependencies version compatibility deployment verification and rollback mechanisms. Establish clear integration contracts with Software Engineering for model handover and execution.

Mandatory Qualifications and Soft skills:
  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science Mathematics Physics Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • At least7 years of hands-onMLOpsengineering experience (preferably in medtech industry) designing and implementing production MLOps architectures including model registries and versioning experiment tracking reproducible training pipelines automated model validation CI/CD for ML containerized deployment and workflow orchestration (e.g. MLflow Argo Kubeflow or equivalent).
  • Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code automation and production Python workflows. Demonstrated ability to work directly with Data Scientists and ML Engineers to transform experimental research code into reproducible tested maintainable and production-ready ML pipelines.
  • 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.
  • Proven experience shipping ML into a regulated or safety-critical environment (medtech 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.

Nice to have:
  • Experience with FDAs 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
  • Experience optimizing and deploying ML models across heterogeneous environments including cloud infrastructure mobile devices and embedded or resource-constrained hardware using techniques such as quantization pruning and model optimization.
  • Familiarity with clinical data standards (FHIR SNOMED CT NWB/BIDS) and ISO 14155/MDR/ICH E9 evidence frameworks.

Soft Skills:
  • 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 thats hard to retrofit later over premature infrastructure that may need to be rebuilt.
  • Strong written documentation skills given the roles heavy emphasis on producing auditable change-control and validation records.
