About You:

You are a seasoned Hardware Engineer who enjoys owning complex systems end to end—from architecture and requirements through design, integration, and release. You’re comfortable leading small, multidisciplinary hardware teams, and you know how to balance hands‑on technical work with coordination, planning, and mentorship. You communicate clearly, make tradeoffs explicitly, and work well with peers across software, assay, and manufacturing. You’re energized by building first‑of‑kind diagnostic instruments in a rapid‑paced, mission‑driven setting.

What You’ll Do:
Own the hardware architecture for key subsystems of the VitalOne platform, spanning mechanics, electronics, and system integration.
Translate product and system requirements into explicit hardware specifications, interfaces, and design plans.
Lead a small team of hardware and mechanical engineers, providing day‑to‑day technical guidance, code/design review, and support on execution.
Drive design, bring‑up, and integration of hardware modules, working closely with firmware, software, assay, and systems teams to meet performance, reliability, and usability targets.




Plan and oversee hardware testing and verification activities, including test plans, protocols, data review, and iteration on failures.
Support design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) and design‑for‑assembly (DFA), collaborating with Manufacturing and suppliers to scale from prototypes to production builds.
Maintain high‑quality documentation: requirements, design records, drawings, BOMs, test reports, and change histories.
Help organize and run hardware design reviews, clearly framing options, risks, and recommended paths.
Contribute to roadmap planning and program execution by estimating effort, identifying dependencies, and highlighting risks early.
Mentor junior engineers on technical skills, documentation, and Vital’s ways of working.

What You’ll Need:
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
Significant experience (typically 7+ years) in hardware development for complex systems such as medical devices, diagnostics, robotics, or lab instrumentation.
Proven track record taking hardware from concept and prototyping through verification and
