Overview Machine Learning Engineer (Computer Vision) – Palo Alto, CA – Engineering – Hybrid – Full-time
Instrumental builds an AI-powered platform that helps hardware teams catch and fix issues early. Our team is ~70 people, mission-driven, and values inclusivity and impact. We’re looking for an employee who shares these values and is excited to own meaningful ML work.
About The Role We’re looking for a customer-focused ML Engineer to help build and scale our end-to-end ML pipeline. You’ll balance research and productization in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
At Instrumental, ML engineers don’t just develop models — they drive real impact. You’ll own the full lifecycle of machine learning projects: shaping features with product, exploring research, building and refining datasets, running rapid experiments, deploying at scale, and monitoring live performance. You’ll work in a deeply collaborative environment where your ideas directly shape the product and deliver measurable value to world-class hardware teams.
What You7ll Do
Own ML pipelines end-to-end—from prototyping to deployment to measuring customer impact
Focus relentlessly on delivering customer value
Collaborate across R&D to deliver full-scope solutions, not just ML components
Rapidly prototype and prioritize algorithms based on user needs
Build and scale ML systems using state-of-the-art techniques
Lead efforts to acquire and manage high-quality datasets
What You7ll 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. You7re 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 don7t 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.
Culture and Benefits We7re a growing team that works collaboratively, is supportive of each other, and is highly energized by the opportunity for a large impact. We actively promote an inclusive environment, valuing passion and the ability to learn. You7re encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn7t precisely match the job description!
