Founding Forward-Deployed ML Engineer
About the Role
This is a founding-team opportunity at a small, fast-moving healthtech AI company building evidence infrastructure for safety-critical medical imaging AI. As a Founding Forward-Deployed ML Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of research, product deployment, and clinical operations — working directly with hospital partners to evaluate and deploy medical imaging AI in real-world clinical settings.
You will play a central role in bridging the gap between benchmark performance and clinical reliability, translating AI models into trusted tools for patient care. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role suited to someone who is equally comfortable writing code, navigating clinical environments, and driving cross-functional projects to completion.
Work arrangement: Hybrid, on-site in Sunnyvale, CA. Travel to hospital partner sites required as needed.
Visa sponsorship: Not available.
What You'll Do
Build reproducible evaluation pipelines and validation workflows for medical imaging AI in clinical settings.
Lead forward-deployed engagements by working on-site with hospital partners to integrate models into clinical workflows.
Analyze model generalization, failure modes, and uncertainty to inform clinical reliability assessments.
Integrate ML models into clinical imaging systems and radiology pipelines (DICOM/PACS).
Translate clinical needs into technical requirements and drive cross-functional projects through to completion.
Support regulatory submissions and clinical evaluations (FDA pathways such as 510(k) and De Novo) and maintain related documentation.
Ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance (HIPAA) across all ML deployments.
Establish and maintain MLOps practices for deployment, monitoring, and ongoing evaluation.
What We're Looking For
Required (dealbreakers):
2+ years of Machine Learning / Engineering experience.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
Required skills & experience:
Hands-on expertise in medical imaging workflows and integration: DICOM/PACS, radiology pipelines, and integrating ML models into clinical systems.
Practical MLOps and model evaluation skills: building reproducible evaluation pipelines, model validation/monitoring, and proficiency with Python and common ML frameworks (PyTorch / TensorFlow, Docker, Kubernetes).
Hands-on experience deploying ML models to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containerized environments and ML-focused CI/CD pipelines.
Experience navigating healthcare data privacy and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, FDA considerations) in ML deployments.
Experience supporting regulatory submissions and clinical evaluation processes (e.g., preparing evidence for FDA 510(k) or De Novo pathways).
Strong customer-facing skills: ability to communicate with clinical and industry partners, own engagements end-to-end, and drive cross-functional projects to completion.
Willingness to travel to hospital sites and work on-site for customer deployments as needed.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $150,000 – $230,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
Early-stage equity opportunity as a founding team member.
Location
Sunnyvale, California, USA. Hybrid on-site role with travel to hospital partner sites as required. Remote work is not available for this position. Visa sponsorship is not offered.
