Head of Hardware (m/f/d)

About DeepSpin

DeepSpin is a HealthTech startup pursuing the mission to make Magnetic Resonance Imaging universally accessible. Today 9 out of 10 people globally do not have access to this life-saving imaging modality. Through our cutting-edge technology we are going to change that. Backed by globally leading VCs, we are now expanding our world-class team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team motivated to bring a life-saving technology to the billions of people that currently cannot afford it.

About the Role

At DeepSpin, you will be joining the Hardware team in the Berlin office. We are looking for a highly driven and motivated Head of Hardware to oversee and manage the MRI hardware development and implementation at DeepSpin, directly reporting to our co-founder and CTO.

Responsibilities:

In this role, you will be responsible for leading our 5 people hardware team as well as contribute to core technical deliverables yourself. More specifically, your responsibilities are:

• To Hire, develop, and lead a diverse, talented team of scientists and engineers.

• To design software and hardware solutions for control systems and help design the electromechanical hardware necessary to develop a completely new technological stack.

About you

Below is the background we think would best prepare you to do the job.
