Technical Lead – Signal Processing | Wearable Devices in Neurology
Location: Remote (UK or EU-based preferred)
Sector: MedTech / Neurotechnology
Type: Permanent or Contract-to-Perm
Salary: Competitive + equity options available
We’re partnering with a rapidly scaling neurotech start-up developing a wearable device designed to monitor and support brain health in real-time. Backed by world class investors and academic institutions, they are building clinically validated solutions at the intersection of hardware innovation, AI, and human centred design.
The team is now looking for a Technical Lead – Signal Processing to take ownership of bio signal interpretation within the product. This is a pivotal role at the heart of the company’s technological roadmap.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the design and development of signal processing algorithms for real time brain monitoring via EEG and related bio signals.
* Drive the technical strategy for transforming raw neurophysiological data into meaningful clinical and user facing insights.
* Collaborate closely with cross functional teams including AI/ML, embedded firmware, hardware, and clinical research to ensure cohesive system integration.
* Define and enforce best practices around data quality, filtering, feature extraction, and signal classification in both R&D and production environments.
* Support clinical trials by advising on signal fidelity, data labelling, and performance metrics.
* Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers across the signal and embedded software teams.
* Contribute to publications, patents, and regulatory submissions as required.
Ideal Candidate
* 5+ years of experience in signal processing, ideally within wearables, medical devices, neurotechnology, or biomedical engineering.
* Strong understanding of EEG or similar neurophysiological signals and their practical challenges in wearable form factors.
* Proven experience building signal pipelines in Python, MATLAB, or embedded C/C++ environments.
* Familiarity with digital signal processing techniques (filter design, noise reduction, spectral analysis).
* Comfortable navigating noisy real-world datasets and sensor limitations.
* Experience working within or adjacent to regulated medical environments (e.g. ISO 13485, MDR) is a bonus.
* A natural collaborator and communicator, able to bridge technical and clinical perspectives.
