Machine Learning Operations Architect (with medical device experience)
Inbrain Neuroelectronics Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Technology, Information and Internet · 51-200 employees
About the role
You will architect and own the model lifecycle governance, deployment infrastructure, and change-control framework for adaptive neural systems. This involves designing CI/CD pipelines, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building systems for model versioning and performance monitoring.
What they look for
Requirements
Candidates must have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical field and 4-5 years of hands-on MLOps experience, preferably in the medtech industry. Proven experience in regulated or safety-critical environments and familiarity with design-control processes like ISO 13485 or IEC 62304 is required.
Benefits
Full description
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.
