Fractional Machine Learning Lead – Seizure Detection & Prediction
Type:
Fractional / Contract — Part-time, highly autonomous
Target Start:
Q4 2026
Please Read Before Applying
This is not a generalist Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or NLP role. We are specifically seeking candidates with hands-on experience working with clinical, noisy, multi-channel scalp EEG data, particularly for seizure detection and prediction.
We are building an advanced EEG wearable patch for seizure detection and prediction, and we are looking for a highly specialized
Fractional Machine Learning Lead
to take ownership of algorithm development, validation, real-time inference, and regulated ML processes.
This is a fractional contract opportunity with potential for contract-to-hire as we scale our clinical builds and studies in late 2026.
Key
Algorithm Development & Validation:
Finalize and validate our seizure detection algorithms using strict patient-level train/validation/test methodologies to prevent data leakage and ensure robust generalization.
EEG Signal Processing:
Develop and optimize pipelines for noisy, multi-channel ambulatory scalp EEG data.
Inference & Deployment:
Build and maintain real-time inference pipelines and integrate our ML models with clinical EEG software for hospital and ambulatory applications.
Regulated ML / SaMD:
Establish traceability, version control, model lineage, and other regulated ML practices aligned with
IEC 62304
and our planned
FDA 510(k)
pathway.
Clinical Validation:
Collaborate with our clinical, software, and research teams to support clinical validation studies.
Research & Publications:
Contribute to academic publications and technical documentation related to seizure detection and prediction.
Ideal Background
8+ years of relevant experience in machine learning, signal processing, or medical-device technology.
Extensive hands-on experience processing
non-invasive, ambulatory scalp EEG data
and developing seizure detection/prediction systems.
Experience developing and validating ML models within regulated medical-device environments.
Familiarity with
FDA, CE Mark, IEC 62304, and ISO 13485
requirements.
Experience working independently as a consultant, fractional technical leader, or senior individual contributor.
Strong ability to own technical workstreams with minimal supervision.
Hard Gatekeeper
Regulated Medical Device
Personally shipped at least one regulated
Class II or Class III medical wearable
that successfully achieved FDA clearance or CE Mark approval, such as a CGM, ECG/EEG patch, or smart hearable.
Clinical EEG Expertise:
Hands-on experience with
clinical, noisy, multi-channel scalp EEG , specifically in seizure detection or prediction. Experience limited to invasive BCI or clean laboratory EEG is not sufficient.
Regulatory Usability Engineering:
Proven experience authoring
IEC 62366 usability engineering documentation
for an actual regulatory submission.
Electrode & Adhesive Expertise:
Deep technical knowledge of skin-electrode interfaces, impedance characterization/testing, motion-artifact mitigation, and medical adhesive behavior.
Hardware Collaboration:
Ability to support hardware testing and collaborate with our Chicago-based engineering team.
This is a hands-on engineering role, not a high-level project management position.
Candidates who do not meet the above requirements will not be considered.
