Coherence
Coherence Neuro is a fast-growing, venture-backed company pioneering implantable technologies that interface with the human body to address critical unmet medical needs. We're looking for driven individuals who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of engineering and science to solve some of the most complex biological challenges. In this early-stage environment, we seek versatile team members with a hands-on approach and a willingness to learn quickly and adapt. We value diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. Learn about our team here !
We are building out our Product Development team and looking for a highly experienced, hands-on Lead Electrical Engineer to drive the electrical design and integration of our implantable neurotechnology platform. As a core member of the product team, you will tackle high-impact engineering challenges, and help shape revolutionary devices that will lead to transformative healthcare outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the electrical architecture for a next-generation implantable neurotechnology platform, driving design decisions across analog, digital, power, safety, and communication domains. Own the full lifecycle of electrical subsystem development: requirements, architecture, schematic design, layout oversight, DFM/DFT, verification, and design transfer. Architect low-noise, low-power and high bandwidth systems for neural recording and stimulation. Conduct simulation, modeling, and analysis (signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, safety, reliability). Lead verification and validation for electrical systems—including benchtop, environmental, sterilization, preclinical, and clinical readiness testing. Manage component selection, vendor qualification, and manufacturing partnerships for implantable-grade electronics. Ensure designs meet medical safety standards, EMC/EMI requirements, and regulatory constraints. Collaborate with engineering teams to define electrical interfaces, requirements, and traceability. Serve as a technical leader and mentor—reviewing designs, coaching engineers, and setting electrical engineering best practices. Support long-term technology roadmap planning, including next-generation architectures. Required Qualifications and Skills
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or a related field; 8+ years of experience in electrical design for high-performance, safety-critical, or medical devices. Deep expertise in analog circuit design, stimulation circuits, ADCs, power management, and safety circuitry. Proven track record leading complex PCB or mixed-signal system development from concept through production. Strong experience with Altium or Cadence, including DRC, stack-up design, and layout reviews. Experience with designing and characterizing optical communication with LED/photodiode circuits. Deep understanding of EMC/EMI, ESD protection, isolation, grounding strategies, and medical device safety requirements. Expertise in electrical verification methods, test fixture development, and hardware characterization tools. Experience interacting with regulatory bodies, standards (IEC 60601, IEC 61010, ISO 14708, ISO 14971), and design controls processes. Strong documentation, safety-first mindset, and ability to work within a regulated medical development environment. Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a interdisciplinary environment. Adaptability to fast-paced research with dynamic priorities. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Bonus Skills
Knowledge of FPGA embedded systems. Experience with inductive power transfer systems or high-efficiency wireless power links. Experience working with or designing toward ASIC-based implementations. Direct experience with implantable electronics, hermetic packaging, or neural interface hardware. Experience with optical or RF communication systems at the hardware level. Participation in first-in-human or early clinical device deployments. Reporting Structure:
This role is an integral part of the Product Development team and reports directly to the VP of Engineering. US standard Competitive salary and share options. Daily meals provided. Healthcare and 401k. Professional development support and training opportunities. Flexible working hours and travel opportunities (We have sites in Australia, UK and US!) A chance to work on impactful, life-changing technologies in a dynamic, innovative environment. If you are passionate about innovation in healthcare, we would love to hear from you!
