Job description

Zedsen is a health technology startup focused on next-generation cancer screening. Our novel, non-invasive sensor technology enables us to screen for cancerous lesions at depth without exposing surrounding tissue to radiation. This will allow us to introduce safer, accessible, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional screening methods.

Our primary mission is to reinvent the breast cancer detection pathway by providing safe, affordable, and accessible breast cancer screening solutions; ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. By developing scalable, affordable technology that can be widely implemented, we aim to make a significant impact on the future of cancer screening and treatment worldwide.

What you’ll do:

This role will oversee the internal design changes and testing of our hardware systems, leading a small team of hardware, electronics, and testing engineers. You will be involved in developing and executing our regulatory strategy and overall product development. The role requires close collaboration with our algorithm development team to optimize hardware and software integration for system performance.

You will develop a deep understanding of Zedsen’s technology and existing hardware and firmware stack. You will be responsible for executing short-term hardware development plans and owning our long-term development vision.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage existing electronics and hardware team members and project deliverables.
• Oversee internal hardware testing procedures and strategies.
• Propose future development strategies for hardware and electronics.
• Coordinate with external contract manufacturers to ensure specifications meet requirements.
• Plan development timelines and manage projects accordingly.

Qualifications include a degree in electronics, electrical, or biomedical engineering (minimum 2:1), with either a Master’s degree plus 3 years of industry experience or over 5 years of industry experience. Candidates should have experience with low-noise electronics design, FPGA coding, VHDL, Altium schematic capture and layout, and system assembly involving electromagnetic sensing. Leadership experience, risk management skills, and high-quality documentation abilities are also required.

Benefits include private medical and dental cover, life and health insurance, lunch at work, flexible remote working options, 25 days annual leave, a bonus scheme, and opportunities for professional growth through workshops and courses.

How We Work:

Zedsen is a diverse team of engineers, scientists, and clinicians working collaboratively to develop innovative solutions. We value proactive communication, constructive feedback, and rapid development. Join us if you want to build impactful products in a dynamic environment.
