NeuraWorx
Company:
Neuraworx Medical Technologies, Inc.
Position Type:
Full-Time, Hands-On Technical Leadership
Reports to:
CEO/Cofounder
Position Overview We are seeking an exceptional Head of Product Development to lead the technical development of our innovative wearable neurostimulation platform. This is a founding engineering leadership role with significant technical depth and strategic impact. Title will be commensurate with experience and skills. You will serve as the primary technical authority for all device development activities, working closely with our CDMO partner while maintaining hands‑on involvement in design, verification, and technical decision‑making.
This role is ideal for a skilled engineer interested in transitioning into leadership, a current engineering leader seeking an opportunity at an early‑stage company, or a technical leader looking to build a device from concept through commercialization. You will grow this role from the ground up and shape the technical culture and capabilities of our engineering organization.
Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership & Strategy
Serve as the primary technical lead responsible for the overall architecture, performance specifications, and regulatory strategy of the neurostimulation device platform
Define the device technical roadmap, critical path milestones, and go‑to‑market engineering deliverables
Make critical technology and design decisions across electrical, mechanical, software, and systems engineering domains
Identify and evaluate key technologies, components, and subsystems required for product success
Develop comprehensive design control documentation including requirements, design specifications, verification and validation strategies, and risk management assessments
Lead technical relationship with our CDMO partner, serving as the primary technical interface for design, development, and manufacturability discussions
Define clear engineering requirements and specifications for the CDMO while maintaining appropriate design authority
Oversee design transfer and manufacturing scale‑up activities to ensure quality and reliability
Develop and execute verification and validation testing plans with the CDMO partner
Conduct design reviews and technical audits of CDMO work to maintain quality standards
Build collaborative, high‑trust relationships that accelerate development timelines
Actively contribute to device design, analysis, and prototyping activities‚ this is not a remote management role
Participate in concept generation, technology feasibility studies, and proof‑of‑concept demonstrations
Lead or conduct critical technical analyses (electrical characterization, mechanical stress analysis, software architecture design, systems integration)
Troubleshoot technical challenges and lead root cause analyses when issues arise
Maintain technical depth across the full device ecosystem: implantable or wearable electronics, power delivery, biocompatibility, wireless communication, and user interface
Regulatory & Quality
Support regulatory and quality strategy and activities for FDA approval pathway (510(k), de novo, or PMA as appropriate)
Ensure all development activities comply with applicable medical device standards (IEC 60601 series, ISO 14971 risk management, design control requirements)
Prepare technical documentation required for regulatory submissions
Establish design control processes and ensure rigorous documentation and traceability
Support quality system development as the company grows
Team Building & Culture
Mentor and develop engineering staff as the team expands
Foster a culture of technical excellence, rigorous problem‑solving, and collaborative innovation
Communicate complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders including investors, board members, and clinical partners
Build partnerships with external resources (contract design firms, testing labs, consultants) as needed
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or equivalent engineering discipline
Deep experience with at least two of the following domains: embedded electronics and firmware, mechanical design and analysis, systems architecture, or software engineering for medical devices
Demonstrated experience managing or collaborating closely with contract manufacturers or CDMOs
Knowledge of medical device regulatory requirements, design control processes, and relevant standards (ISO 14971, IEC 60601, FDA guidance)
Strong systems thinking: ability to understand and optimize across electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing domains simultaneously
Proven track record of taking device concepts from design through verification, validation, and commercialization
Excellent communication skills: ability to translate between technical and business contexts
Entrepreneurial mindset: comfort with ambiguity, ability to prioritize effectively with limited resources, and enthusiasm for building something from the ground up
Preferred Qualifications
Graduate degree in Engineering or related field
Experience with implantable or wearable stimulator medical devices (pacemakers, neuromodulation, etc.)
Experience leading or managing engineering teams (demonstrates readiness for future VP/Director‑level roles)
Prior startup or early‑stage company experience
Expertise in neurostimulation, bioelectronics, or neural interface technologies
Experience with IoT, wireless power transfer, or miniaturized electronics for implanted systems
Familiarity with product liability, risk management, and failure analysis methodologies
Track record of successfully launching products in regulated markets
Publications, patents, or visible technical contributions to the medical device or bioelectronics field
What We’re Looking For
Technical depth with breadth:
You don't need to be expert in everything, but you must be genuinely dangerous in 1‑2 disciplines and credibly competent across the full device stack.
Intellectual humility:
Willingness to learn unfamiliar domains and seek expertise from others.
Bias toward action:
Comfortable making decisions with imperfect information; avoids analysis paralysis.
Collaborative problem‑solver:
Enjoys working across disciplines and bringing different perspectives together.
Patient but driven:
Can nurture relationships with external partners while maintaining urgency around milestones.
Translational thinker:
Able to understand clinical needs, translate them to engineering requirements, and explain technical constraints to business stakeholders.
Hands‑on leadership:
Wants to stay engaged in technical work, not just delegate.
What We Offer
Significant hands‑on technical work:
You'll spend ~60% of your time actively engineering, ~40% on leadership, strategy, and cross‑functional alignment.
Equity ownership:
Meaningful equity stake reflecting your pivotal role in shaping the company's technical success.
Growth trajectory: Clear advancement path as the company scales.
Resources & autonomy: Freedom to help build the engineering function the right way from the ground up; budget and decision‑making authority commensurate with the role.
Impactful mission: Develop technology that could meaningfully improve patients' lives; avoid "me‑too" products in favor of genuine innovation.
Collaborative culture: Work directly with CEO and co‑founders who value technical input in strategic decisions.
Learning environment: Access to leading contract design firms, testing facilities, and clinical advisors; opportunity to deepen expertise across multiple engineering domains.

Tell us about your most significant technical challenge in medical device development and how you solved it.
Describe your experience working with manufacturers or CDMOs‚ what worked well, and what didn't.
What aspects of neurostimulation or wearable bioelectronics excite or intrigue you most?
About the Role's Evolution
This is a founding position, and its scope will evolve. Initially, you will be the primary engineering resource, reporting directly to the CEO and working intimately with the CDMO. As we grow and raise additional capital, you may help build a team of specialized engineers (firmware, mechanical, systems). Success in this role is defined by the company's clinical and commercial success, not by headcount managed.
