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.The Principal MLOps Architect will design and own the end-to-end model lifecycle architecture and governance framework that enables INBRAIN's data scientists and ML engineers to take adaptive neurostimulation and Brain-Computer Interface models from research into regulated clinical products.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nThis is a foundational, 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.\nThe 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.\nWhat You'll Do\nMain Responsibilities:Design and own the model 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.\nLead 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. \nOwn 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. \nDefine 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. \nEstablish 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. \nDefine 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. \nMandatory Qualifications and Soft skills:\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.\nAt least+7 years of hands-onMLOps engineering 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). \nStrong 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.\nDirect 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. \nProven 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. \nNice to have:\nExperience 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).\nBackground in adaptive neurostimulation, closed-loop deep brain stimulation or closed-loop diabetes management with insulin pumps \nExperience 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. \nFamiliarity with clinical data standards (FHIR, SNOMED CT, NWB/BIDS) and ISO 14155/MDR/ICH E9 evidence frameworks. \nSoft Skills:\nComfortable operating at the intersection of engineering and regulatory/clinical teams, translating design-control requirements into concrete technical implementation. \nPragmatic about scope and sequencing - able to prioritize the governance/compliance work that's hard to retrofit later over premature infrastructure that may need to be rebuilt. \nStrong written documentation skills, given the role's heavy emphasis on producing auditable change-control and validation records. \nWhat You'll Bring\nRecruitment Process\nAt INBRAIN, we believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation and lead to better outcomes for our team, our technology, and the patients we serve.
