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.
