We operate two recording platforms: a preclinical ethological monitoring system integrated with behaviour and neural data and a human motion-capture and neurophysiology platform.
We are a small, fast-moving team where hardware, neuroscience, and ML sit in the same room.
The RoleWe are building integrated human motion-capture and neurophysiological recording systems for both controlled lab studies and naturalistic, in-the-wild data collection.
Today we have working prototypes.
We need someone to turn them into products - reproducible, manufacturable, remotely updatable systems that can be deployed at scale and maintained without an engineer in the room.
You will own R&D delivery across the London lab and hardware programme: co-developing the hardware with our electronics and mechanical engineers, importing and enforcing best-practice data capture protocols, and engaging contract manufacturers to scale.
This is an agentic, hands-on role -with support engineer roles as required.
You will spend as much time in the lab and on the phone with suppliers as you will in a spec document.
What you'll doTake working prototypes to shippable, field-deployable systems — define the product, own the roadmap, and drive it to deliverySpecify and build out over-the-air update infrastructure: firmware, versioning, rollback, fleet management, remote diagnosticsOwn the design-for-manufacture transition — DFM/DFA reviews, BOM ownership, tolerancing, test fixtures, and production test protocolsIdentify, qualify, and manage contract manufacturers and suppliers; own the relationship from RFQ through NPI to sustained productionEstablish and enforce best-practice data capture protocols across modalities (EEG, fNIRS.
