Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to design, scale, and deploy clinical-grade ML algorithms in the cloud. In this high-impact individual contributor role, you will take ownership of translating complex, neurophysiological signals into production-ready predictive models and automated diagnostic features. You will build and deploy cloud-based models, ensuring data is processed with high reliability, low latency, and strict regulatory compliance.

Role Responsibilities

• Algorithm Productionization & Cloud Deployment: Design, build, and deploy scalable ML pipelines and clinical algorithms in the cloud to process real-time and batch neural and contextual data.
• Advanced Model Architecture & Decoding: Design and build state-of-the-art transformers and deep learning models to decode complex neurophysiological signals into real-time control streams for digital devices.
• Model Optimization & Validation: Train, evaluate, and optimize machine learning models for signal processing, feature extraction, and behavior detection while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity.
• Model Deployment & Pipeline Integration: Architect scalable pipelines to deploy and integrate production models into the cloud environment, managing model automated training, data versioning, and performance monitoring.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with data scientists, software & firmware engineers, clinical researchers, and regulatory specialists to translate research-validated algorithms into commercial software features.
• Quality & Regulatory Compliance: Author software design specifications, risk analyses, and validation protocols to support FDA submissions under strict quality management systems.
