Machine Learning Engineer
Clutch Canada
Operations engineer job in Palo Alto, CA
Palo Alto, CA - Engineering - Hybrid - Full-time
Building hardware is like writing software with no debugger, no logs, and only three compile attempts - before mass production. This lack of visibility leads to costly waste and slow iteration.
Instrumental's AI-powered platform changes that current reality. We give hardware teams real-time data and insights to catch and fix issues early-so they can build better products, faster, and with less waste. Leading brands like Meta, Bose, and Cisco use Instrumental to accelerate product development and improve yield at scale.
We're a ~70-person, mission-driven team that values inclusivity, creativity, and impact. If that resonates with you, we'd love to chat!
About The Role:
We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer who's passionate about turning cutting‑edge research into customer impact. You'll help build and scale Instrumental's end‑to‑end ML systems - from prototyping to production - enabling our customers to identify and solve manufacturing issues faster than ever.
At Instrumental, ML engineers don't just train models - they own the problem. You'll have full lifecycle ownership: partnering with product and data teams to define features, exploring state‑of‑the‑art methods, curating datasets, iterating rapidly, deploying at scale, and monitoring real‑world performance. Your work will directly shape the product experience for some of the world's most innovative hardware companies.
If you want meaningful ownership, tangible impact, and a collaborative environment that values learning and execution - this is the place.
What You'll Do:
Design, build, and own ML pipelines end‑to‑end-from experimentation to deployment and impact measurement.
Collaborate across R&D to deliver holistic solutions that combine ML, software, and user experience.
Rapidly prototype algorithms and prioritize work based on real customer needs.
Scale production ML systems using modern frameworks and best practices.
Lead efforts to acquire, manage, and refine high‑quality datasets for supervised and unsupervised learning.
What You'll Need To Be Successful:
Experience in writing production code with a focus on maintainability and performance.
Experience training deep learning models, including expertise in model selection, training, optimization, and deployment.
You have startup DNA: a growth mindset, a bias toward action, and a drive to take ownership of challenging projects with minimal guidance. You're resourceful - when you hit a wall, you find a way around it, learn what you need, and keep moving forward.
Computer vision expertise (or a strong foundation in deep learning from other domains, such as NLP). If you don't have direct computer vision experience, a willingness to apply your deep learning knowledge to this area is important.
Nice to have: Experience with cloud infrastructure, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and familiarity with scaling machine learning models in a cloud‑based environment.
We're a growing team that works collaboratively, is supportive of each other, and is highly energized by the opportunity for a large impact. We actively work to promote an inclusive environment, valuing passion and the ability to learn. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description!
We're additionally open to multiple levels - if you're a Senior, Staff, or Principal‑level engineer, we'd also love to hear from you!
Salary range: $168,000 - $270,000

Operations engineer job in Palo Alto, CA
About Arc Institute
The Arc Institute is a new scientific institution that conducts curiosity-driven basic science and technology development to understand and treat complex human diseases. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Arc is an independent research organization founded on the belief that many important research programs will be enabled by new institutional models. Arc operates in partnership with Stanford University, UCSF, and UC Berkeley.
While the prevailing university research model has yielded many tremendous successes, we believe in the importance of institutional experimentation as a way to make progress. These include:
Funding: Arc will fully fund Core Investigators' (PIs') research groups, liberating scientists from the typical constraints of project-based external grants.
Technology: Biomedical research has become increasingly dependent on complex tooling. Arc Technology Centers develop, optimize and deploy rapidly advancing experimental and computational technologies in collaboration with Core Investigators.
Support: Arc aims to provide first-class support-operationally, financially and scientifically-that will enable scientists to pursue long-term high risk, high reward research that can meaningfully advance progress in disease cures, including neurodegeneration, cancer, and immune dysfunction.
Culture: We believe that culture matters enormously in science and that excellence is difficult to sustain. We aim to create a culture that is focused on scientific curiosity, a deep commitment to truth, broad ambition, and selfless collaboration.
Arc has scaled to nearly 200 people. With $650M+ in committed funding and a state‑of‑the‑art new lab facility in Palo Alto, Arc will continue to grow quickly in the coming years.
About the position
We are searching for an experienced and collaborative machine learning research engineer focused on advancing the frontiers of biological foundation models. This role will contribute to the development and application of Arc's frontier DNA foundation model (Evo), Arc's Virtual Cell Initiative focused on developing cell biological models capable of predicting the impact of perturbations and stimuli, and other projects in the context of Institute‑wide machine‑learning efforts.
About you
You are an innovative machine learning engineer with a deep understanding of ML principles, enabling you to design, modify, and critically evaluate model architectures, not just apply existing ones. You have significant experience in training large deep learning models.
You enjoy thinking from first principles, seeking to deeply understand the data and its underlying dynamics to drive effective and innovative modeling strategies.
You are excited about working closely with a multidisciplinary team of computational and experimental biologists at Arc to achieve breakthrough capabilities in biological prediction and design tasks.
You are a strong communicator, capable of translating complex technical concepts to researchers outside of your domain.
You are a continuous learner and are enthusiastic about developing and evaluating a model that impacts many biological disciplines.
In this position, you will
Actively participate in the design, implementation, and refinement of state‑of‑the‑art foundation models developed in collaboration with other ML researchers and scientists at Arc with the goal of understanding and designing complex biological systems.
Engineer large‑scale distributed model pretraining and pipelines for efficient model inference.
Enable robust systematic evaluation of trained models.
Stay up‑to‑date with the latest advancements in technologies for large‑scale sequence modeling and alignment, and implement the most promising strategies to ensure the underlying models remain state‑of‑the‑art.
Work with experimental biologists to ensure that the developed models are grounded in biologically meaningful problems and evaluations.
Publish findings through journal publications, white papers, and presentations (both internal to Arc and external).
Foster internal and external collaborations centered on generative design of biological systems at Arc Institute.
Commit to a collaborative and inclusive team environment, sharing expertise and mentoring others.
Job Requirements
B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning or a related field.
Minimum of 5‑8+ years of relevant experience in machine‑learning research or ML engineering in an academic (e.g., Ph.D.) or industry research lab.
