At CoMind, we are developing a non-invasive neuromonitoring technology that will result in a new era of clinical brain monitoring. In joining us, you will be helping to create cutting-edge technologies that will improve how we diagnose and treat brain disorders, ultimately improving and saving the lives of patients across the world.
The Hardware team designs and builds the physical hardware at the heart of CoMind's devices, from precision analogue circuits, FPGA systems, and PCB design through to mechanical enclosures and optical assemblies. This team takes systems from prototype through to manufacture, working to medical device standards and collaborating closely with optics, software, and clinical teams to deliver hardware that is safe, reliable, and production-ready.
As the Electronics Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for all electronics and FPGA development at CoMind. This hands-on role combines deep technical execution with team leadership and engineering operations. You will personally design complex hardware systems, establish tools and processes that scale, own technical development roadmaps, and lead a talented team through detailed design, verification, and manufacturing transfer of CoMind’s neuromonitoring device.
At CoMind, all team members work at least 4 days per week from our new Kings Cross offices, plus a flexible work-from-home day.
Own technical roadmaps for electronics development, aligning with product and system requirements
Own system integration, hardware bring-up, verification, and performance validation of electronic systems
Manage and mentor a team of 3-8 electronics and FPGA engineers, setting priorities, individual development plans, conducting performance reviews, and maintaining a high standard of engineering practice
Lead the end-to-end design of complex mixed-signal electronic systems, including high-speed digital (e.g. JESD204B) and low-noise analogue circuits
Architect, design, and deliver multi-layer PCBs (up to 16 layers, HDI), ensuring signal integrity, power integrity, and DFM best practices
Oversee FPGA architecture and development, driving RTL design, DSP pipelines, high-speed interfaces, timing closure, and hardware bring-up in Vivado across the full product lifecycle
Ensure designs comply with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, and ISO 13485, maintaining documentation and traceability in line with CoMind's QMS
Drive the transition from prototype to production, managing relationships with manufacturing partners and component suppliers, and supporting regulatory (QARA) activities
Establish and maintain engineering processes, SOPs, and best practices to ensure scalable and high-quality development
Administer core engineering tools and infrastructure (e.g. Altium Designer, design libraries, Bitbucket repositories)
Manage lab infrastructure, equipment, and external contractors (e.g. PCB layout), ensuring effective execution and resource utilisation
AI is fundamental to our culture — it's not just a tool, but a core part of how we work, collaborate, and innovate. We expect all team members to embrace AI in their daily work and continuously find new ways to use it effectively.
