Chief Technology Officer - Medical Device
Hybrid – Basingstoke
Neupulse is entering a pivotal stage of growth.
After years of product development, research, and technical
validation, our neurotechnology platform is now launching commercially as a
wellness device, while progressing through the pathway toward full medical
device approval.
Our technology has the potential to make a meaningful
difference to people living with Tourette’s and related neurological
conditions, helping improve quality of life through accessible, evidence-led
neurostimulation technology.
We are now looking for a commercially-minded, technically
credible CTO with a strong background in medical device electronics, firmware,
and software engineering to take the platform to its next stage — scaling the
technology, shaping the roadmap, building the engineering capability, and
leading the transition from product development into global deployment.
This is not a “maintain the status quo” CTO role. It is an
opportunity to take ownership of a genuinely innovative connected medical
technology platform at the point where technology, regulation, manufacturing,
and commercialisation begin to converge.
The Opportunity
As CTO, you will work closely with the founders and
leadership team to define and execute the long-term technology strategy for
Neupulse.
The platform foundation is already in place:
•connected neurostimulation hardware
•embedded electronics and firmware
•mobile applications
•cloud infrastructure
•regulatory and quality systems
•outsourced development partnerships
•an imminent commercial launch
The next phase is about scale. You will lead the evolution
of the engineering organisation as the business moves toward:
•medical device approval
•larger-scale manufacturing
•international markets
•platform maturity
•stronger in-house technical capability
This role requires someone who can operate strategically
while remaining deeply credible technically — someone equally comfortable
discussing electronics architecture, embedded firmware, cloud-connected
applications, manufacturing readiness, and regulatory pathways.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Technology & Product Leadership
•Define and execute the long-term technology
roadmap across hardware, embedded electronics, firmware, software, cloud
infrastructure, and connected applications
•Lead the evolution of the Neupulse platform from
early-stage product into scalable global technology infrastructure
•Align technology decisions with commercial
priorities, regulatory milestones, and customer outcomes
•Drive product reliability, scalability,
cybersecurity, and operational excellence
Medical Device Development & Regulatory Readiness
•Lead the technical pathway toward medical device
approval across key global markets
•Own technical engagement with regulatory bodies,
notified bodies, test houses, and external compliance partners
•Ensure development activities align with
standards including ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, and related
frameworks
•Maintain oversight of technical files,
verification activities, design controls, and product lifecycle processes
Engineering & Delivery
•Provide technical leadership across internal
teams and external development partners
•Own technical decision-making, systems
architecture, engineering standards, and delivery quality
•Build a clear roadmap for how engineering
capability evolves over time, including the balance between outsourced and
internal development
•Improve development velocity, release quality,
manufacturability, and operational performance across the platform
•Establish scalable engineering processes and
delivery practices appropriate for a growing medical technology business
Team & Organisational Growth
•Build and develop a high-performing engineering
function over time
•Create clarity, accountability, and technical
direction across contributors and partners
•Help shape the company’s broader product and
innovation strategy alongside the leadership team
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who combines:
•strong technical depth in medical device
electronics, firmware, and software engineering
•medical device regulatory experience
•commercial awareness
•leadership credibility
•and the ability to scale technology
organisations through growth
You will likely have:
•A background in medical device electronics
engineering, embedded firmware, software engineering, or related regulated
product development environments
•Significant experience developing connected
electronic medical devices, including hardware, firmware, and software systems
•Experience taking electronic medical devices
through regulatory approval and into market
•Strong understanding of medical device standards
including ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and IEC 60601
•Experience overseeing hardware, firmware, and
software development activities
•Experience managing external development
partners, suppliers, and manufacturing relationships
•A strong understanding of connected systems
including mobile applications, cloud platforms, wireless connectivity, and
device integration
•Experience building or scaling engineering teams
and technology functions
•The ability to operate effectively in a
fast-moving, commercially-focused environment
Why This Role Matters
This is an opportunity to join at a defining moment:
•commercial launch is imminent
•regulatory pathways are active
•the platform is established
•and global ambitions are real
The right person will play a central role in shaping not
only the technology, but the future direction of the business itself — helping
bring innovative neurotechnology to people who could genuinely benefit from it.
Location
Hybrid role based in Basingstoke, with regular on-site
collaboration expected.
